Overview
O'Dowd is a knowledgeable and hard working center prospect, but lacks the durability and physical skill set to become a starter at the next level. He is like a coach on the field, as he makes terrific calls at the line and is quick to identify and pick up stunts and blitzes. However, he lacks the athleticism to thwart faster defensive lineman in pass protection and does not have the explosion or strength to lead a running attack. He has battled many injuries during his career and may not hold up physically, but O'Dowd has enough savy to make a roster and could be a late pick.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Does not have the strength to generate a good push in the running game. Keeps his feet moving but struggles to sustain blocks against stronger defenders. Not athletic enough to mirror defenders in space and rarely makes plays in the second level. Will lunge at times and is susceptible to double moves. Struggles to stay healthy.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
