Scouting Report
Anthony Castonzo reminds me much of Doug Free. He’s 6’7”, 305 pounds, but a bit of a finesse player. He’s very good in pass protection, utilizing his long arms (35 1/4 inches) and excellent hand placement to protect the quarterback. His technique is perhaps the best in the entire draft class. He rarely gets beat inside, yet still gets proper depth in his drop to allow the quarterback to step up.
Like Free, Castonzo excels on screens and counters. He uses superb body position to gain leverage on defenders. You can see this at the 1:10 mark below, when he lets UNC’s Robert Quinn (perhaps this draft’s best edge-rusher) get inside of him, then uses Quinn’s own momentum to force him that way.
