YES and I would guess that's why we picked him up. Coach is filling everything. I like him this year, so far!

Saints sign Miami of Ohio tackle Collin Buchanan

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 
Now this looks a steal



COLLIN BUCHANAN
MIAMI (OH) MID-AMERICAN

GRADE
5.51

Bench
23 REPS

Vert
25.0 INCH

Broad
97.0 INCH


6'5"
HEIGHT


32 3/8"
ARM LENGTH


316LBS.
WEIGHT


10 1/2"
HANDS


OVERVIEW
Detroit News included Buchanan on their Blue Chip list in 2012, but Big Ten schools did not come calling with scholarship offers. He picked Miami over other members of the MAC, playing sparingly in his first year on campus. As a sophomore, coaches tabbed him for the right tackle spot 12 times and he started nine of 11 games played at that spot in 2015. In his third year as a starter on the right side, Buchanan was a second-team All-MAC pick.


ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Wide body who carries his weight well. Sturdy build in his lower half. Can unlock his hips to sink and sit when dropping his anchor against bull rusher. Plays with a nice, wide base in both his pass sets and run blocking. Pass sets feature good balance and posture. Light enough on feet to handle twists and stunts inside. Throws his hands in a direct line and with consistent timing while keeping his head back in pass sets. Uses choppy power steps in his approach into contact. Sufficient work bringing hips under hands after contact. Patient climbs to second level.


WEAKNESSES He is able to bend, but has to work on maintaining a consistent pad level to stabilize his core. Has issues with aim when he throws his hands. Has too many reps where his punch will land near top of the pads or even bottom of face mask. Lack of placement allows defenders to clear his hands from their frame too easily. Will likely bump inside and will have to prove he can handle the pace and strength of interior work. Can get too grabby with second level blocks.


DRAFT PROJECTION Round 3-4


SOURCES TELL US "I kind of like him. I like the way he punches because it's direct and his hands are pretty quick. When you move from tackle to guard you have to prove that you can speed up your hands and I think he has that already." -- AFC offensive line coach


NFL COMPARISON Quinton Spain


BOTTOM LINE Thickly built offensive linemen who is likely to move inside due to a lack of length. Buchanan has decent hand quickness and good feet for the interior and he shows the necessary anchor to battle back against bull-rushers. He doesn't appear to have scheme limitations, but he is better suited for a gap scheme. Buchanan's balance and athleticism are good enough to offer value as a backup right tackle which should add to his value on the third day. He could challenge for a starting position within the first couple of years.

Conflicting reports about Speedy to this point. Have heard Jags and Saints. He played his high school ball in New Orleans.
