Hallock possesses exceptional strength and knows how to use it. He fires off the snap low and is physical from first contact until he hears the whistle. Hallock excels at blocking down, obliterating defensive linemen to open up rushing lanes. In addition to his elite ability to wash down defensive linemen, Hallock can also kick out defensive ends play after play. He demonstrates outstanding leg drive and can serve up pancakes play after play.

Olson is potent in pass protection. His technique is sharp, and he doesn’t overextend himself when delivering his punch to incoming rushers. Olson plays with a good base and keeps his eyes peeled for incoming blitzers if left uncovered. He’s also a powerful run blocker who can always be relied on to get push up front in short-yardage situations. Olson is an elite puller who keeps a tight path to the line until he blasts linebackers or defensive linemen out of the play.

Tafua is one of the hardest-working offensive linemen in the class. He never gives up on a play and will run with his running backs downfield to try and throw a late block. Tafua is always one of the first players to a downfield pile and can push his back forward for extra yards. He’s a dynamic athlete who does a good job getting out in space on screen plays. In pass protection, his long arms help him keep pass rushers outside the pocket.

Draper is a dominant force up front for the Royals. He does a great job getting over to take care of defensive linemen on stretch runs. In pass protection, he doesn’t allow defensive linemen to collapse the pocket. Draper can handle speed rushers and physical defensive tackles. His hand placement is elite, and he plays with a good anchor. Draper does a great job working with his teammates on double teams up to the second level. He loves the physicality of the position and any opportunity he gets to sit defenders down.
