Eugene Monroe
Height: 6-5
Weight: 306lbs
[h=3]Pass Block[/h] 43/50
Not your protypical left tackle at just 6’5”, Eugene Monroe (306 pounds, four seasons) has been able to play at a Pro Bowl level because of his quickness in space and balance when attacked. He has the ability to slide and mirror pass-rushers, but he’s quick enough to counter inside moves and crash down on rushers trying to get leverage. Monroe isn’t perfect, but he grades out very high on the edge.
[h=3]Run Block[/h] 41/50
Equally dangerous as a run-blocker, Monroe’s short-area quickness is off the charts. He’s able to fire off the ball and quickly gain leverage under his pads. He does a good job sinking his hips and driving defenders. He can latch and drive.
[h=3]Overall[/h] 84/100
Monroe is one of the better balanced tackles in the NFL. He’s equally punishing as a run-blocker and pass-protector, and while he might not be elite at either criteria, he’s pretty close. Monroe is the right mix of dual-threat that teams hope for but can rarely find.
[h=2]Branden Albert, Kansas City Chiefs[/h]6'5", 316 pounds, six seasons 2 pro bowls
29 yr old
ranked 13/35
[h=3]Pass Block[/h] 45/50
In 13 games this season, Branden Albert (6'5", 316 pounds, five seasons) allowed just one sack, but he missed two contests against Von Miller and the Broncos. Albert is a good athlete who can hold the edge with quickness and a solid first punch. He knows how to stun pass-rushers and is strong enough to hold his ground against inside moves.
[h=3]Run Block[/h] 32/50
You might think that with Jamaal Charles’ stats that Albert was a dominant run-blocker. He wasn’t. The Chiefs were a run-right team all season, leaving Albert to protect the backside on zone runs. He will get blown off the ball in the run game as he fires off too high. He has a tendency to plant his feet and try to reach with his arms, which extends his upper body and causes him to lose balance. He has to learn to keep his weight transferred and his body over his feet.
[h=3]Overall[/h] 77/100
Albert might be a bit overrated when you see him on film. He was a good pass-protector this year, but he was the opposite as a run-blocker. Albert needs to find balance and give more effort in the run game.
