STRENGTHS
Liam is a quality Offensive Lineman, with good size and overall strength to start, the day after you select him for your team. He has the ability to play on either side of your offensive line at the tackle or the guard position but his impact position should be as a Right Tackle in most offensive schemes. He is an excellent run blocker and has the foot agility to go out to the second level and make his assigned blocks. Liam is very smart with a high football IQ and shows leadership skills through his play on the field. He is one of the most consistent (technique-wise) pass blockers in this draft. He works well with his teammates on stunts and because he is quick to fire out at a good pad level when run blocking, his ability to play guard and tackle makes him a complete offensive lineman for the team that selects him.
CONCERNS
Liam has solid athletic talent but not outstanding athletic talent so his upside, athletically is limited and that will bother some teams. That being said Liam’s value is very high.
BOTTOM LINE 1.86
Liam’s ability to play multiple positions, with excellent techniques and excellent mental stamina should far out way any athletic limitations a team might perceive to be a problem. Liam can take what he learns on the practice field and easily incorporate it into his play on game day. That is big, trust me. His consistency and ability to lead are big also. Liam may lack the lateral agility, that is looked for when evaluating a player to play left tackle at the next level but he doesn’t lack the ability to play that position or any other on the offensive line at a high level and become a starting offensive tackle the day after you draft him. So, if you’re looking for a plug-in starter, for your offensive line for the next ten years, you would be smart to select Liam. He can play Left Tackle in a lot of team’s offensive systems but I think his impact position, because of his strength and body type, will be at the right tackle position. But that’s just me once again, talking to myself.
