He could have easily entered my first-round evaluation due to his dominance in both run and pass situations, yet the positional value coupled with certain aspects of his play doesn't quite elevate him to that status yet.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-insert-emoticon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Firstly, as mentioned, Sedrick is truly powerful. He leverages this strength to contend with larger counterparts, and when I say large and powerful, I mean it. Viewing his matches against the Florida Gators, where he faces one of the most imposing figures in CFB, Desmond Watson, Sedrick holds his own in both run and pass scenarios, one-on-one without needing combo assistance.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">It's worth noting that while many linemen are often recognized for their strength either in the upper body or lower body, it's rare to find those who possess impressive power in both. Sedrick has both, capable of generating significant force in his upper body which allows him to finish his blocks properly, as well as in his lower body, enabling him to create displacement on the <em>ligne of scrimmage\u00a0<\/em>against even the heaviest and strongest players, as well as offering incredible anchoring capability.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">If Van Pran is unbeatable in physical challenges, it's not only due to his strength in both the upper and lower body but also thanks to very good <em>body control<\/em>Indeed, he plays with a significant forward lean and places a lot of weight forward, which allows him to gain even more strength. However, unlike many prospects, even though he is often off-balance forward, he always seems to be in control of his body. That being said, his excellent <em>body control<\/em> does not prevent him from sometimes being beaten due to this imbalance.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">In addition to his natural strength and very good body control, one thing I really appreciate about Van Pran is his ability to play low, which often allows him to gain better leverage than the defender he's facing. This is a great asset for any lineman, whether offensive or defensive.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">Adding to this his very good ability to place his hands correctly, as is the case with Sedrick, we end up with a player who has real qualities to offer for the position.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">With qualities like those he possesses, Van Pran can truly negate any pressure from a player who would solely rely on his strength to win. One thing is certain after watching Sedrick play: if you don't play technically against him, you won't get past him, whether it's in a passing situation or a running play.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">Another aspect that can be significant when looking to secure a spot as a Center is the ability to snap the ball, and once again, I am pleased with what I've seen him do with the Bulldogs. <br \/>His snap is quick, he gets out of his stance fast, and he benefits from having played well in <em>Gun<\/em> (so with the QB set back), which most offenses use today, as well as the more traditional formation with the QB taking the snap directly <em>Under center<\/em>which is more used in the NFL than in CFB<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">But then, what is holding Sedrick Van Pran back from being a 1st round pick if the player dominates as much in passing as in running situations, aside from the value of his position?<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">To start, his athletic abilities are far from enough to astonish me, especially his mobility. While Van Pran is, in itself, mobile enough to be a threat to the LBs in the box on running plays, he remains relatively slow.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">It's not uncommon to see LBs have time to dodge the block, which is all the more troublesome because Sedrick is unable to quickly change angles on his block engagements when in motion, due to really unremarkable agility. This is also why one must watch out for his tendency to play off-balance forward, which was mentioned in his strengths.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">On plays where he has to pull (like Pull or on Screen Passes), you also feel that Van Pran sometimes struggles, especially on Screen Passes where I find him really average. He often misses his block due to the aforementioned issues, and that's when he manages to arrive in time to block someone.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">Beside that, Sedrick will have to work a lot on his <em>Footwork<\/em>. It's quite simple, once he has secured the block, if he keeps his legs active, he will most of the time dominate his opponent perfectly.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">Conversely, it can be seen that with his style of play, every failed play by Sedrick results from an issue with his <em>Footwork<\/em>.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">100% of the time! Literally every time<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">Either his legs stop, he narrows his base too much, or he misses his first step. More bluntly, it can be summarized as: either he has correct\/good footwork and he dominates his rep, or he makes a mistake on his <em>Footwork<\/em> and loses his rep completely<br \/>The work to be done is therefore huge, but if Sedrick works hard, we should see a significant improvement in his way of playing.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">Otherwise, although Van Pran has a good punch and, more generally, a really good hand placement most of the time, he still struggles to follow certain <em>Stunts<\/em> (predefined movements by the defense that allow changing gap penetration while maintaining the basic alignment) of the <em>Front Seven<\/em>due to attention too often directed at the initial player he must block. He will need to learn to play while observing what's happening around him if he truly wants to establish himself as a Center in the NFL, but I'm not overly concerned as this is part of learning the Center position at the professional level. Similarly, a QB will learn to read a defense differently once he reaches the NFL.<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">To conclude, Sedrick Van Pran-Granger is a player who has real qualities to offer, his floor seems quite high which should allow him to be seen as a starter quickly, perhaps even directly if needed. He can still improve, and on some points, this could really enable him to make a giant leap in terms of his potential, I am thinking here of his <em>Footwork\u00a0<\/em>which could really allow him to change dimensions if it is worked on correctly.<\/span><\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">Additionally, Sedrick is still young despite spending an extra year at Georgia, and while he can show real dominance in some reps, he can be quite average in others. <\/span><\/div><div aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">He doesn't have the level of a top 25 pick in my opinion, but he could very well make a franchise happy at the end of the first round.<br \/>Personally, I would have no problem going after Sedrick Van Pran in the 2nd round.<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, IOL, Georgia (Junior) De retour pour cette \u00e9dition 2024 de la Draft NFL, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play vous propose \u00e0 nouveau de vous plonger au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e8nement gr\u00e2ce aux scouting reports de Rayane et Valentin.
