Conner started 43 games at Texas. He has a wide frame and fights to stay in front in the run game. He's an efficient combo blocker who tracks linebackers well, too. Conner works his hands inside and latches on as a pass blocker. He's strong enough to anchor against bull rushers. -- Steve Muench

Hayden Conner Draft and Combine Prospect Profile | NFL.com

Overview

Experienced guard with the measurables to get a longer look from NFL teams. Conner has a broad, well-built frame and his natural power is evident when he lands with some momentum. He played well against Michigan’s Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant, but a lack of athleticism makes him scheme-dependent. His size impedes static pass rushers looking to push the pocket, but he’s ill-equipped to match the movements of an active rusher. Conner is above average as a run blocker, but he might be too overmatched athletically to make it long-term.

Strengths

Excellent size and heavy on contact in run game.
Connects and drives opponents when centered.
Good feel for angles and positioning to execute blocks.
Thuds heads-up rush with firm punch and core power.
Able to shove twisters and edge runners off course.

Weaknesses

Lacks athleticism to consistently execute stretch blocks.
Below-average pad level when staying connected with two-gappers.
At a loss when adjusting to moving targets.
Drops feet behind him when punching.
Overextends when mirroring, opening him to counters.
Heavy slides are slow to cut off gaps to speed.

Monti is hilarious this year

 

[HairZach]

I have never seen a QB have more time to throw than Ewers last year. I'm happy with a dart throw at anyone on that line.

So far out of 6 picks, 2 from the SEC & 4 from the Big 10.

It's been slowly loading for me all day. Whole lotta traffic today lol.

 

[QuebecCard]

MERGE the two threads.

 

[Ronin]

It's been done.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Conner is pretty good in both run & pass blocking, probably better at pass blocking & double teams which "should" create a better pocket for Kyler lol. How he sees out of that pocket is another question lol.

 

[PJ1]

Odd measurables for a guard. Very tall.

[BritCard]

Again, no idea, but everything I've just read sounds better than you'd expect at this spot.

Only guard with no sacks given up. 80+ grade on both run and pass. Played every position on the OL covering injuries. Very smart. Honor roll student.

Played very well vs Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant.

This profile has far more pros than cons.

Not at all athletic, so major improvement is unlikely. He probably won’t be much good at pulling which is Cards scheme. His top is a backup as he’s ferocious in pass protection. Therefore he can be pressed into service if needed. He’s a hard worker. Lack of athleticism hurts his ability to really help with run blocking. Often misses target or fails to hit them squarely.

 

[BritCard]

Impressive young man. Worth a watch.

Can’t likely develop to a regular player. Backup is ceiling and a reach at that.

Hopefully he has Mo impact than Big Mo, who's No Mo.
