The thing he'll need to work on is his strength and ability to anchor --
4. DAVID ARKIN Missouri State 6-4½ 300 5.34 Projection: 4th round
Started 31 games at RG and 13 at LT over four years. "I think he can fit one position: center," one scout said. "The kid's very competitive and he's smart (30 on the Wonderlic). He really struggles to anchor at guard. At the (East-West) game he just got his (expletive) slung around. He did practice it (center) but never played there. He needs to be in a zone-stretch scheme so he's running off the ball to the outside number of the player and then he cuts him. He can't survive any other way." Two scouts said he was better than ex-Packer Allen Barbre, another blocker from the school. "It's nobody's fault, but the strength program there is always behind the curve," another scout said. "He must continue to redefine his body and get stronger so he can become more explosive on contact."
