The Eagles turned their attention back to the big uglies that Reid loves to take later on with the pick of 6'6 336lb OG Paul Fanaika from Arizona St.
Strengths:
Outstanding height and bulk...Long arms and huge hands...Naturally strong and powerful...Has a violent initial punch...Stout at the point of attack...Terrific awareness...Solid work ethic...Has a lot of experience.
Weaknesses:
Limited athletically...Isn't light on his feet...Does not have great range and struggles in space...Poor agility...Isn't a knee bender...Doesn't get as good of a push in the run game as he should...Inconsistent leverage.
Notes:
First name is actually "Pauliasi"...Was a three-year starter in the Pac 10...Mother played volleyball at Fresno State...Sister, Lavinia, plays basketball for the Sun Devils...Began his college career as a 370 pound walk-on...Redshirted in 2004...Played in 11 contests as a backup in 2005...Took over the starting right guard job in 2006 and he never relinquished it...The fact that he only put up 15 reps at the Scouting Combine is a big red flag ..Has the type of rare size you just can't teach.
