Overview

Schilling is a hard-working, experience guard prospect who can initially serve as a reliable backup and could potentially become a starter with some improvements to his run blocking. At this point, he plays a bit high, doesn't get much push but also isn't a pure zone blocker. Could become more productive with some added bulk and has the frame for it. Very complete pass protector who can deal with the bull rush, slide his feet some, has hands that never stop moving and can pickup blitzers. Despite some of his limitations, Schilling carries a mid-round grade and could have a bright future.

Analysis

Strengths

Schilling has a lot of experience. Very good pass blocker. Uses his hands extremely well off the snap. Can move laterally with quicker defensive lineman and can hold up against the bull rush. Recognizes blitzes and defensive line twists. Flashes the ability to get to the second level.

Weaknesses

Needs to add bulk. Doesn't get much movement or push and needs to watch his pad level. Comfortable zone blocking but doesn't possess great athleticism. Will miss his assignment run blocking at times. Would like a see a little more fire in the running game. Has dealt with injuries dating back to high school.
