Overview

Marecic is a throwback player that lined up on both sides of the ball in college. He projects as a fullback at the next level, as he is a fierce run blocker that looks to dominate opponents. He flashes the ability to make multiple blocks on one play and he explodes through the holes making him an asset on third in short. He is not fast or fluid enough to be a weapon in the passing game and he lacks the brute strength to be a consistent road grater. Overall, Marecic is a coach's dream and will be a later round pick despite his less than ideal physical tools.

Analysis

Strengths

Marecic has a large frame and good speed. Fierce competitor that seeks out contact and fights to the whistle. Takes proper angles when run blocking and steps up well in pass protection. Downhill runner that dishes out punishment and is very effective in short yardage situations.

Weaknesses

Does not show great power at the point of attack and struggles to sustain blocks against bigger players. Not athletic enough to make people miss in the open field and will not pick up many yards after contact. Raw route runner that lacks the explosiveness and fluidity to separate in man coverage.

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.
