OG A.J. Cann, South Carolina -- Cann is built like a tree trunk and offers you exactly the type of skillset you'd expect from that. Cann stands at 6'3", 318 lbs, but his thick bottom half and beefy arms make him look about 330. That translates, when used, into a whole lot of downhill blocking power. Cann is at his absolute best when he gets to unload into a defense tackle in the run game and move him off the ball. The more your offense does that, the better suited Cann will be. His frame is utterly constructed for that, but isn't as well built for agility -- he's okay when he pulls, but he can struggle in space at the second level trying to track down defensive backs. He is at his best against big, powerful nose tackles that play to his strength, but he can totally miss on athletic three-techniques who show great burst off the line. He looks like he runs a 5.5, honestly, but is surprisingly good in pass protection against DTs. He can take a good punch from a DT, recover, and stymie most rushes in their tracks. Occasionally someone can get around him, but trying to bullrush Cann is a fool's errand. He's not an elite talent, but as a really solid passblocker and powerful road grader, I'd think him worth a midrounder for a likeminded team. I'd put him at a 3rd-4th rounder.
