|BlackJesus| Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 Tanner McLachlan TANNER MCLACHLAN ARIZONA TE Prospect Info COLLEGE Arizona HOMETOWN CLASS Lethbridge, Alberta Senior HEIGHT 6’ 5’’ WEIGHT 244 lbs ARM 31 5/8’’ HAND 9 3/8’’ Overview McLachlan is a slightly challenging evaluation, as his measurables and traits don't really match the intangibles and effort he puts on tape. He plays with the spirit of an in-line tight end and flashes what it takes to execute blocks, but he's missing the mass and play strength for one to confidently project him as a pro blocker at this point. While McLachlan has short arms and average speed, he still finds ways to go get the football outside his frame and does whatever it takes to add yards after catch. There are boxes that go unchecked, but his "whatever it takes" mentality is the kind of intangible that often turns prospects into pros. Strengths Plays with a competitive spirit that jumps off the tape. Active hand work after contact to extend his block sustain. Puts in the work to get backside cut-offs and climb to the linebacker. Finished catches through explosive strikes. Flashes build-up speed on the move and after the catch. Hurdles, pulls, spins and stiff-arms to find the extra yards after the catch.

alleycat Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I had the strongest feeling they were going to do this. Take the swing for the fences guy who will at least go on Pup and then one more. Now if only we would take a IOL guy. And a LB. And another corner. And a safety. And a RB…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 Tanner McLachlan TE, ARIZ Height: 6-5, Weight: 245 Older TE prospect with reasonable separation skill and consistent YAC production. Athleticism is solid overall. Project as a blocker but the receiving skill makes this worthwhile. (Chris Trapasso) Summary Tanner McLachlan is a reasonable athlete for the TE spot who has to come a long way as a blocker to be remotely proficient in that regard but makes up for that with impressive power/balance after the catch. He has deceptive seam-stretching speed, but he's not a quick starter yet covers plenty of ground with his long strides. VHe has very natural, reliable hands. He will consistently make grabs outside his frame, and somewhat steady in that regard in traffic. Real speciality is after the catch, where he routinely absorbs contact and stays on his feet. He won't be a major separator at the next level but did demonstrate a knack of adjusting his routes to make himself more available in zone. Not much wiggle after the catch but enough to not allow defenders to always square him up. Small-ish hands and a frame in which he could add some weight to it. Developmental TE2/3 type. About 2023: 528 receiving yards (most among Pac-12 TEs) 2023: 45 receptions (most by Arizona TE since Rob Gronkowski's 47 in 2008) Strengths Sneaky good power/balance after the catch Plus overall athlete for the position Soft hands Combine Data 40-yard dash: 4.61 seconds Vertical jump: 35 inches Broad jump: 9 feet, 9 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Daniel Jeremiah loves the pick. Said he was his #2 TE. Slipped because of abdominal surgery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Pitcher noted how excited Casey was after they picked All. Casey may have needed to be revived with smelting salts after they chose to add McLachlan to the room too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a roommate back in school and since then, I’ve always said “Tron-no. “ And I like Poutine and ketchup potato chips, and I love hockey, and the McKenzie Brothers are funny, and the Guess Who and Rush are/were good…. so I guess I’m part Canadian? I don’t like Nickelback, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also going to say that when referring to folks from Muntreeall, say "Kebekker". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
