OL Tyler Steen | 3rd / 65ovr | 2023 Eagles Draft

[Kiltman]

Stout got his next project 

[Kiltman]

Glad we got a guy to develop

Had to take someone who won’t play this year.  Should have moved up for Torrence, so close.

Announced him as a guard. I would be surprised if he isn't in play to start at RG. Probably a competition between him and Jurgens.

Happy to have some competition there

Steen has guard/tackle versatility. His technique still needs work supposedly, but I trust Stout to get that cleaned up. 

Would've preferred to trade down with 66 and taking Steen later in the 3rd for a move up from our 6th round pick to something higher in day 3, but I won't complain too much after that first round and I trust Stout with OL.

At this point if you doubt Stout's ability to pick out an OL he wants idk what to tell you. This is a good pick until proven otherwise imo.

POSITIVES

— Good initial and lateral quickness out of his stance to reach landmarks against wide rush alignments.

— Smooth vertical set with the body control to stay square, recover and cut off inside moves.

— Knows how to maximize his length and keep defenders at his fingertips.

— Uses quick, light independent hands in pass protection to mix up his approach with a potent inside strike to disrupt the timing of his opponent.

— Has an impressive feel for spacing, timing and body positioning on combo blocks, knowing how to adjust aiming points to account for post-snap movement and when to release and intersect second-level targets.

— Shows good play strength to drive, strain and torque defenders out of the hole on angle-drive and double-team blocks.

NEGATIVES

— Has a bad habit of dropping his outside foot and shortening the corner when rushers get perpendicular to his frame.

— Gets caught flat-footed with an exposed chest too often against speed to power, leading to a tardy, inconsistent anchor.

— Base gets too wide with his feet stuck in mud when redirecting laterally, leaving him off-balance.

— Sporadic lapses in technique call into question his focus and concentration.

 

As a guard? This sounds like a good fit to me. Good size, from a good school, a name I've heard before. Even if I haven't scouted him myself. I like this pick.

So Jlash was very into BDL before he passed and someone else took over his team. The first pick the sub GM made for Jlash's team this year was Steen, who is now an Eagle. I hope he is awesome

[AZ_Eaglesfan]

This.

If stout likes a dude you just trust at this point 

[TheRealMcCoy]

Kinda have my doubts about him as more than a 'in a pinch tackle' with his arms being sub 33"

 

[Kiltman]

Yeah, get stout that kind of athletic profile and let him cook.

+ Athlete with short arms. Can pull in space, has trouble with speed around the edge. Textbook guard for us.



Mailata - Dickerson - Jurgens - Steen - Lane*

It feels like this team is never behind the ball and always has their next guy ready to go in some way or another. I think next year we'll see us look to get Lane's successor.

Wonder why he didn't run the 40, but those are better athletic testing than what I would've thought.

Fun Fact: Brandon Brooks has the highest RAS of all time for a guard.
