Overview

Fusco has the toughness and size to make it in the league as a reserve guard or center but lacks the athleticisms necessary to become a starter. Will face a big jump in competition level coming from Division II but was not intimidated at the Senior Bowl. Can anchor in pass protection but needs to get set quicker and doesn't have the feet to move and slide laterally. Will get some push off the ball when run blocking but has a tendency to play too high and is not productive out in space. Fusco's build, motor, and attitude could make him a late-round pick.

Analysis

Strengths

Fusco has the size for the next level. Can anchor against the bull rush. Shows the ability to sustain and get movement while run blocking. Can be an effective zone blocker despite lack of great agility and feet. Displays good awareness in pass protection. Relentless player with a great motor and a lot of toughness.

Weaknesses

Lacks the athleticism of a starting lineman. Struggles to mirror and stay in front of defensive tackles with good agility. Can be beat to the spot off the ball. Needs to watch his pad level and stay low. Is not comfortable blocking out in space or hitting moving targets.

96-100 Future Hall of Famer Top Pick A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played
85-95 Immediate Starter 1st An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter).
70-84 Eventual Starter 2nd-3rd A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position.
50-69 Draftable Player 4th-7th A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential.
20-49 Free Agent UDFA A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body.
