DMN: NFL Draft experts agree on who Cowboys could take with No. 9 pick

[UnoDallas]

If I needed a LT I'd take Sherrod. I just feel like Carimi is a better fit for us.

well the thing about taking Sherrod is that we got two players who can play either side - how many days until the draft ? 98 - 97 lol

could be don't get wrong I'd take Carimi not a problem

from different scouting sites - plus I seen him play in at least 4 games - oh wow I know right

While he is a bit of a mauler in the run game, his technique in pass protection leaves a lot to be desired. He isn't a natural bender, and he struggles to move laterally. He can't play left tackle

He leans forward too often, allowing defenders to push him to the ground.

Tends to lose his balance too often. Must maintain a better base and get a more sound knee bend. When on the move, Carimi can lunge and miss a defender. Shows stiffness on his power step. Compensates for a lack of movement with power.

Needs to be more stout as a pass blocker. Typically strong against bull rushes, but was knocked around at times by Iowa’s Adrian Clayborn. The problem isn’t in power base, but he doesn’t always properly use it. Tends to let speed rushers get under his pads

Strength: Carimi has NFL strength and should be able to be plugged into an offense immediately. Powerful throughout his frame. Has the strength to seal the edge.

Technique: Needs to maintain his base a little better. If Carimi can do that, he’ll do a better job against speed rushers. Gets good hand position.

Final word: Being the guy who had to follow Joe Thomas at Wisconsin was a daunting task. Carimi, while nowhere near as good as Thomas, has done well. He’s a power tackle best suited for the right side of the line. Carimi struggles some against speed rushers, but has good strength to anchor and seal
