QuotePositives: Has a long, tall frame with adequate muscle definition and room to carry at least another 25 pounds...Slides his feet well to adjust to blocks and mirror pass rushers working on the edge...Does not have great strength to generate movement for the running game, but compensates by using his reach to lock on and steer defenders away from the play...Plays with balance and body control and slides his feet well...Has the ability to redirect and adjust to blocks...Shows good playing speed to reach the second level...Smart athlete who quickly learns and retains information...Shows awareness and alertness to adjust to twists and stunts...Takes hard coaching well...Though long-legged, he possesses good suddenness and initial quickness to gain ground off the snap and to get into position as a blocker...Will bend at the waist due to his height, but has long arms, adequate strength and active hands to corral defenders...Moves his feet well to stick with blocks...Shows good foot quickness and change-of-direction agility to get into position to adjust to blocks in the run game...Shows good foot quickness and suddenness to accelerate out of his stance...Keeps his feet and flashes the balance and body control to adjust to blocks when on the move...Has good playing speed to consistently reach the second level and possesses the balance and redirection to make contact and tie up defenders downfield...Slides his feet well to adjust to rushers and uses his long arms to steer...Lacks strength and explosion with his punch, but is active with his hands and uses them well to control defenders...Athletic big man with good foot quickness...Slides his feet well to cutoff and mirror rushers...Has enough agility to get out on the corner to pull in the short area for the ground game...Adequate at handling spin and swim moves when he plays with a wide base...Despite his tall frame, he is effective sinking his hips, bending his knees and staying on the balls of his feet to make reach blocks on the edge.

Negatives: Has just adequate muscle tone in his arms and his frame has become very soft and fleshy, especially in the chest and midsection...Has struggled to maintain weight in the past, but needs to add more bulk to compensate for marginal-to-adequate playing strength...His body looks more like that of a basketball forward than an offensive tackle...Will compete as a blocker and give good effort throughout the play, but is not a real fiery player or a nasty finisher...As a worker, he needs to be monitored, is not a self-starter or one that will apply himself unless the coaches take him to task...Is still learning how to be a leader and develop a better work ethic...Has exceptional size, but is only adequate with respect to explosion and pop on contact to generate movement in the run game and to jolt rushers with his punch in pass protection...Uses his long arms to tie up defenders in the run game, but has just adequate strength to create movement...Plays with a high pad level and too wide of a base, at times, so he is pushed back some in pass protection...Gets his hands too far away from his frame, taking wild swipes that leave his chest too exposed for defenders to attack...Must do a better job in shooting his hands with force and direction...Will disappear for long stretches on the field and seems to have lost any passion for the game (just went through the motions after being benched in 2007)...Did a much better job of picking up stunts and blitzes as a junior, as he struggled with his foot movement and arm extension (did hurt his elbow) as a senior, resulting in 10 pressures allowed over four games...Likes to attack defenders low, but when he overextends, he does not have the loose hips to recover...Too slow moving his feet as a senior and with his inability to keep his pads down as a senior, he could be a big liability as a left tackle at the next level.

Compares To: ANTHONY CLEMENT-ex-New York Jets...When scouts look at Dunlap's frame, they see a player with potential. When they watch 2007 film on him, they question whether he has the desire to play the game. Off-field issues, injuries and inconsistent play led up to one of the worst seasons by any offensive tackle in this draft. There is no excuse for lackadaisical play and while he has an imposing frame, it is more important to judge him on production than on potential.

I just noticed he has two knee braces on in that picture.

6'9 dude with already bad knees playing offensive line?
Somehow I don't see his NFL career working out.

Some colleges require all OL to wear two knee braces to help avoid knee injuries when getting piled on or rolled back.

Its very common, Munson.

theres little more in the world andy could want than for a 7th round project offensive linemen to become good

QuoteThe King Dunlap Era begins: You have to admire the way Dunlap played at left tackle. With a full week of practice under his belt, Dunlap played with a lot more confidence. Dare I say that he played better than Jason Peters would have?

QuoteKing Dunlap drove onto arena plaza

Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Eagles offensive tackle King Dunlap has been charged with reckless driving and disorderly conduct for driving his Cadillac Escalade onto the plaza outside the arena hosting the Southeastern Conference women's basketball tournament.

Nashville police say Dunlap drove his 2004 Escalade onto the sidewalk and parked near the front doors Friday. He told officers he was picking up his father, who uses a wheelchair. Police say they asked Dunlap to move to the nearby street while offering to help with his father.

Dunlap refused and was arrested. Relatives who had been at the SEC tournament moved the SUV.

Police say Dunlap, 25, was cooperative after being taken into custody. A bond of $1,000 was set for the Nashville native.

QuoteTwo years ago, he was arrested outside the SEC women's basketball tournament for driving his car onto a sidewalk in front of the arena doors and refusing to move.

QuoteIf he blocked the gym entrance with his car that would be the first and only path he has ever obstructed ever in his life.
