Towering four-year starter at tackle who struggles with leverage. Mahlman’s lack of length contributes to protection breakdowns when he fails to land first hands. As a run blocker, he uses hand strikes to mitigate a lack of bend but he doesn’t have the body control to execute from entry to whistle at a consistent level. It’s tough for tall tackles to bump inside to guard, but such a move might provide Mahlman his best shot at a roster spot, provided he adds to his core strength.
