PSO’s original Scouting Reports strive to be uniquely valuable in evaluating a player’s future outlook by focusing on the four main subjects that summarize a player’s likelihood of succeeding at the next level including: natural Physical Tools, College Game Film, proven Production, and overall Risk that each individual player presents to a team drafting him.

Despite his obvious physical gifts, Grant Delpit can be an extremely frustrating, enigmatic prospect at times. He’s shown to be capable of making some incredible plays in coverage, but the number of horrendous tackling efforts on his film is alarming. Sometimes he seemed lackadaisical, but most of the time he simply looked like he did not want to wrap up and finish the play.
That’s something that a team will have to address in their interviews with Delpit, as it can definitely be fixed. What he brings to the table (natural size, coverage skills, playmaking potential), however, cannot be taught. His prototypical body type and range will allow him to be seen as a potential TE neutralizer. If he can ramp up the physicality and shore up his tackling woes, however, then Delpit’s game will be taken to a whole different level that could lead to multiple All-Pro recognitions.
