re: New Orleans Saints Draft Thread - 7 new Saints, 1 trade, time to sign UDFAs

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Eastern Kentucky, Ezirim lined up at right tackle in the Colonels’ inside/outside zone-run scheme. A defensive lineman only in high school, he moved to the offensive line midway through his college career and showed gradual improvement the last two seasons in the FCS, while also holding his own against the FBS opponents (Cincinnati, Kentucky) on Eastern Kentucky’s schedule. With his exceptional length and initial movements, Ezirim is ideally suited for a zone blocking scheme and didn't give up a sack in 2023. However he is still very new to the offensive line and his blocking awareness is undeveloped, his pass-set technique is raw, and his lateral control must improve. Overall, Ezirim has athletic tools and outstanding size but is inexperienced and will need time with a patient coaching staff that can continue developing his talent and building his confidence on the offensive line. He is a draft -and-stash prospect with developmental traits..
