<![CDATA[Shelton negatives...?]]>Everyone seems agreed on him at 12 so we've heard all the positives but what are, if any, the negatives on him that might make our FO pass on him?

His weight seems to be the main cause of any doubt from what I have read

Not for long if Dansby/Whitner catch him doing it.

Yea, those seem coachable.

Rarely incorporates spins or even swim moves into his repertoire.



Pad level rises as he tires and he can get knocked off the line of scrimmage when double-teamers coordinate their efforts and don't allow Shelton to split them. Needs to show greater awareness of cut blocks.



Tackle numbers are inflated by his hustling in pursuit. Weight needs to be held in check.

Despite girth and leverage potential, can be a little inconsistent at getting push off snap. Dominates lesser centers but doesn't seem to look nearly as dominant against more talented centers. Will quit on a play when he's blocked. Produced eye-catching sack numbers for his position in 2014, but much of it was against lesser competition. Must work to keep weight in check.

He ran like a 5.7 40 time......but that stat for a D Lineman may be irrelevent. I saw a show last night with Gruden and he said every time he watched Sheldon that he was very quick at getting to the perimeter.

He loved Shelton....but he hated Arik Armstead.
