Pat McQuistanHeight: 6-6
Weight: 314
40 Speed: 5.22*
Position: Guard/Offensive Tackle
College: Weber State
Final Grade: F 5.5
GM JR Scouting LLC Grading Scale/Key

SUMMARY-McQusistan's twin brother, Paul, was drafted in the second round. He is very similar to his brother in that he is one of the most competitive blockers that you'll ever see. He has good size and quick feet for an offensive tackle and while he is still learning proper technique, he consistenlty makes contact, stays on blocks and eliminates his man from the play. He only started for one year at Weber State and is going to need to greatly improve his technique and consistentcy as a blocker. Because he has virtually the same athletic ability and size as his brother, in order to become as productive a blocker as him, he will need to greatly improve his technique. His lack of college playing hindered his development, but he no doubt has the talent to eventually develop into a valuable lineman in the NFL.

STRONG POINTS-McQusistan is a very tough and super competitive blocker whose all-out blocking effort helps him to consistently eliminate his man from the play. He has the quick feet to get off the ball and through to the second level fast and does a good job of blocking linebackers in space when he stays over his feet and under control. He can turn the head-up defensive tackle out of the play on inside runs and does a good job of driving defensive linemen down the line of scrimmage on down/side blocks. He has good playing strength to hold his ground vs. power rushers and will fight his man until the whistle blows.

WEAKNESSES-McQusistan is a straight-line athlete who lacks the agility and flexibility to adjust well to a moving target. He doesn't run block with leverage and it hinders his ability to consistently get movement on down/side blocks. He is only a one-year starter and his blocking techniques are very raw and undisciplined. He struggles to bend his knees and sink his hips to run block with a good, wide base.

Since offensive tackles all look big to me, are quick feet number one on a list of qualities to look for?

most certainly, esp. for LT candidates

Only started one year? Explains why he fell so far compared to his brother.
Will be interesting to see what his weight is after a full offseason lifting under Joe J. Supposedly the greatest advance a O lineman makes is his second season. He looked pretty good in exhibition games last year; will be VERY interesting to see if he really is as good as the rumors say. If he ends up replacing the Hotel, then BPs record with the O line improves quite a bit between him and Colombo. Though it must be added that as soon as he came on board he got JJ to extend the HOtels contract back in pre season 2003.

Footwork is the big reason Petitti was tossed- he just did not have quick enough feet; could never get planted and squared up fast enough to block the quick guys.

Yeah, if I remember correctly he didn't have the grades and wound up in junior college and only had 1 year of eligibility at Weber State. Still, pretty smart move to take a gamble on a guy like that in the 7th round.

I'm thinking something too

Is there some rule we can't draft him again?? :D
I dunno. I have my doubts the forum would be cool with it.

Sort of contradicts himself there, eh? Heard nothing but good things from him at camp last year, and when playing in place of the Hotel in exhibition games. We might have really grabbed one big time here. If he ends up being a good LT, that would be an incredibly cheap find.

That's why I'm against drafting a OT high. I'd rather see McQ become the 3rd tackle this season.

All I know is that Parcells stated in one of his TC press conferences that he had gotten calls from variety of friends/contacts that they had heard/learned he had himself a "player" who he as very high on. Parcells stated he felt (our) McQuistan's development was one year behind his twin brother who was drafted in 3rd round of 06 by the Raiders and subsequently became their starting OG. Parcells indicated to the Cowboy organization that it was his belief McQuistan would be our next starting LT. Latter on in TC/preseason, Parcells even said if Adams couldn't start or was injuried for a lengthy period of time that he wouldn't hesitate to start McQuistan.

All of Parcells comments mean nothing cause we the fans haven't seen anything of McQuistan except preseason appearances. But apparently other teams saw enough of McQuistan to express interest in acquiring him to Parcells who stated he flat our refused any offers.

For what it's worth, Parcells claimed our scouts also told him that there was no way Hurd or Austin (along with McQuistan) would make it thru waivers to get on our PS. That's the reason all 3 of them made the team; we didn't want risk losing them. All 3 of them along with all our other rookies and newly obtained vet FA players will greatly benefit from our offseason weight conditioning program.

I hope the public Cowboys' view of Hurd, Austin & McQuistan in particular bear fruit but we will all know a lot more in July TC--although all 3 looked good last year.

It's somewhat distressing to hear Cowboy fan's treat any of the 3 above players as being "worthless" just because they were not significant draft picks. It would certainly benefit this club greatly for at least one of these players to become a starter.
