Overview

Durable and highly experienced, Deculus is a right tackle-only prospect with good know-how but a debilitating lack of athletic movements to get blocks executed consistently on the pro level. He uses his length effectively with active hands and good extension to keep rushers out of his frame but securing the edge against speed will be a challenge. He's a phone-booth run blocker who lacks bend and drive at the point of attack and will struggle to find his landmarks on move blocks. He's a late-rounder or undrafted free agent who could be a longshot to make a roster.

It’s a coin flip - swing T this late, maybe challenges Andy Heck for that backup T spot. Good size, seems to have good football IQ, but isn’t an athlete.

Not really complaining this late in the process.

I think he profiles more as a Guard. Problem area for Texans, throw as many big, physical guys at the position and see what you get.

Project a similar trajectory to Charlie Heck (a pick I still loathe) albeit at OG.

Probably PS this year or deep on the depth chart. Project for future years.

No loss really if he doesn't cut it.
