Overview
Pianalto is a pass-catching tight end with good speed, but he is almost chronically injured and may lack the durability to play at the next level. He has decent size and the straight-line speed to stretch the field down the seam, but he lacks fluidity and struggles to gain separation. He has reliable hands and finds holes in zone coverage, but he does not pick up yards after the catch. He also seems to be more of a finesse blocker and lacks the strength to generate a push. Pianalto might lack the talent to overcome his durability issues and justify a late round pick.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Tight hips limit his agility and he will not separate in man coverage. Will not make people miss in the open field. Lacks the strength to be an effective drive blocker and struggles to sustain blocks. Does not flash a mean streak and there are some questions about his competiveness. Extremely injury prone.

| 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. |
