Sean Culkin, TE, Missouri
Height: 6-6. Weight: 250.
Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
Projected Round (2017): 5-7.
4/25/17: Culkin is a tough blocking tight end who could be a steal as a Y tight end candidate in the NFL. In practice at Missouri, Culkin developed his blocking skills against some tremendous pass-rushers, including Charles Harris, Shane Ray and Markus Golden. This past season, Culkin also did well against LSU edge rusher Arden Key.
Culkin also produced as a receiver, catching 24 passes for 282 yards in 2016. He chipped in as a junior (16-139) and sophomore (20-174) as well, but Missouri was primarily a rushing team during his time with the program. Culkin could be a quality rotational player and provide good depth quickly given his blocking ability.

Analysis
Strengths Plays bigger than he measures. Low center of gravity provides above average power through contact. Can give as well as he gets and usually falls forward. Creates with power and elusiveness. Dancing feet and swivel hips allow for sudden, sharp cuts on the second level. Shows ability to string moves together. Able to factor as a pass catcher and looks comfortable doing it. Three-time academic all-American who exhibits his smarts on the field as well as off it. Posted explosion numbers at his pro day that will have teams looking for more tape.
Weaknesses Smaller than teams will look for from the position. Doesn't always find the cleanest portions of running lanes. Will look to crouch and finish when there are still moves to be made between the tackles. Will have to prove himself as a blocker to find third down snaps. Limited route-runner out of the backfield in college.
Draft Projection Round 7-PFA
Bottom Line He's a little smaller than teams might like, but he's well-built and a competitive runner with power as a finisher. Ekeler played a much lower level of competition so it is challenging to project whether his ability to create yardage through elusiveness and power will translate. Ekeler's tape appears to show the necessary athletic traits and rushing talent to compete for a roster spot and become an NFL contributor at some point.
