Brandon Keith SELECTED BY: Arizona Cardinals Round 7(18)

SI Grade 3.51 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Junior-college transfer awarded All-Conference honors last season. Began his college career at Oklahoma.

POSITIVES: Strong, explosive offensive tackle in college who projects to guard. Fires off the snap, strong at the point, and gets movement from run-blocks, driving defenders off the line. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action, displays the ability to slide laterally, and plays with good pad level. Jolts defenders with good hand-punch or completely engulfs them at the point of attack. Stays with the action and rarely gives up an inch.

NEGATIVES: Does not consistently play with a sense of urgency and slow recognizing the action. Stiff, lacks top blocking balance, and overextends into opponents.

ANALYSIS: Keith is a well-traveled prospect who finally got his feet underneath him last season. Improved with more playing time and shows terrific upside potential for the next level. Possesses the size and athleticism to surprise a lot of people.

PROJECTION: Late Fourth Round
