Draft Rewind 2011 – Marcus Gilbert – Pittsburgh Steelers

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MARCUS GILBERT: Florida, 6064 329 5.45. Two-year starter. Started at right tackle in 2009, moved to left tackle in 2010. A big man with good athletic ability. Works to keep his hands inside on the breast plate. Plays balanced with a good base in pass protection. Will get beat around the edge if he doesn’t get enough depth to wall off a wide rusher. When pulling he is athletic enough to get through the traffic, tag his target, and stay on his feet. Has experience at both guard and tackle. May be a right tackle only where he plays with more confidence. Plays with better than average foot quickness in pass protection. Can quick set and force separation with a solid punch. Plays with good effort and athletic ability. Must sustain longer to be effective consistently in the run game. Has a tendency to lose his knee bend and play upright as a pass protector. Has a chance to be an eventual starter at right tackle if he plays with consistent overall technique in the pass and run games. OSR:17/49. Third/fourth round. (A-34, H-9 7/8, BP-30, 10-1.84).
