I know its coach speak so why wasn't he a top 10 pick?

Head coach Bill O'Brien on Ozzy Trapilo: "Ozzy is a smart, tough, dependable player with great leadership qualities. He was a unanimous captain selection, as voted by his teammates. Ozzy has all the tools to be a great left or right tackle in the NFL. He is able to run block, double team block, pull and block the defensive ends or defensive backs on the second level, and he is an elite pass blocker. Week in and week out, he set the tone up front. Ozzy played with great pad level for a man of his size. He has the ability to block speed and power off the edge. Ozzy is a consistent person and he will do whatever is best for the team. Ozzy will be a great pro."

LOL, what scheme prefers the worse route runner and pass blocker?

Warren is better at YAC and contested catches as he uses his body to shield defenders better. A case can be made tbat fits certain schemes better if you have a focus on quick and short passing game.

Would also Loveland has better technique at the moment as a blocker but Warren has the potential to be better as he is bigger and more powerful. He just needs to work on his technique.

Warren fits better for the colts for sure, because they have a QB who cant throw the ball so might as well get a classic inline TE.

Warren's limitation in blocking is his baby length arms. Therefore he can't block edges because they get into his chest easily. That's why pennstate generally had him blocking lb or cb or Crack blocking on the edge

Maybe. Loveland was injured last year, that affected his blocking. I suspect there's not much to choose between them when healthy.

he runs tough, that was fun to watch.

Their OL is clearly shitty too. He got hit in the backfield like every other play and still got back to the LOS or got extra yardage.

I'd imagine if he was playing on a much better program, like texas or OSU he'd have looked a ton better and been drafted even higher.

With all that contact, he still protects the football. Ball security and pass protection will get him on the field.

That 40 time really hurt him.
