HEIGHT 6’ 9’’
WEIGHT 321 lbs
ARM 34 1/4’’
HAND 10’’
Overview
Long-limbed team captain with NFL-quality tackle play coursing through his veins. Alt plays a disciplined brand of football, avoiding penalties and working with fluid transitions from entry to sustain to finish as a run blocker. Alt is a capable drive blocker with the foot quickness to play onto the second level. He struggles to bend enough to compensate for his height and ends up playing with waist-bending and forward lean that can hamper his anchor against bull-rushers. Alt has quick hands and outstanding arm extension, promoting his ability to sustain blocks and redirect pass-rushers. He’s a good technician who carries himself with confidence from snap to snap. Alt clearly has the talent to become a Day 1 starter on the left side, but he’ll need to clean up his habit of leaning forward, or he could be in for some bumpy action early on.
Strengths
Father, John Alt, was a Pro Bowl NFL tackle and brother, Mark Alt, was an NHL player.
Creates pre-snap plan for combo blocks and is rhythmic getting from one to two.
Adjusts stride length and footwork to capture first contact with balance.
Maintains feel and keeps feet moving to mirror and ride opponents for block sustain.
Scores early with stiff right hand into rusher’s inside shoulder in pass pro.
Feet are fluid and instinctive to consistently mirror edge-to-edge rush challenges.
Uses arm extension to successfully steer arc runners and inside counters off the track.
Technically sound with good instincts to withstand attacks from twists.
Weaknesses
Gets off the snap with excessive forward lean in an attempt to lower pad level.
Leverage-based opponents can stand and stall drive blocking attempts.
Too much waist-bending and not enough chin-tuck in protection posture.
Beaten by late movement when feet start to sink too deep.
High center of gravity could make it hard to find emergency brakes against NFL power rushers.

Keep Herbert up long enough to throw to WR's that can't get open...

Welcome Joe Alt! we will run the ball and the play action will be lethal. With what RB? Gus Edwards? RB 3 on the Ravens. Dobbins? RB can't stay on the field? We have zero weapons. It will be like running a plow horse out against thoroughbreds |

Who is Herbert going to throw to? Noooooboooddyyyy...
Just kidding...
We passed on great talent for good talent, this would have been alot sweeter if we could have kept KA.
I hope day 2 gets us Dejean Cooper/Kool Aid or Herbert some weapons.

I hope day 2 gets us Dejean Cooper/Kool Aid or Herbert some weapons. They have a plan and they are executing it. OT versus sexy WR's is boring to regular fans. Do not forget when I write this: In a great OT class, we got the best one that college had to offer. Want to feel better ? John Harbaugh of the Ravens texted his brother Jim after our pick. "That's the guy I would have taken at #5."

I have tried to teach you about the new regime. I have another genius angle for you, that you may not like:
LT Slater's big contract time is coming up. When he wants that 30 million dollar a year contract, the Chargers can counter with we have Joe Alt on a rookie deal. If they cut KA loose, nothing would shock me.
Iron Fist in the front office has already begun...........................

"That's the guy I would have taken at #5." Like I said, the pick would have been sweeter if we still had KA... What exactly is a "regular" fan? Is that some veiled insult of one's intelligence? Spare me. No offense, I'm just hearing talk like that way too much because people don't like the pick, not liking the pick doesn't make me any less of a fan or less intelligent. We can have the best Oline in football and Herbert will STILL get sacked. We are poised prime for a great run game as long as our RB group can perform... But what happens when we have no pass game because teams stack the box against the run? What happens when our mediocre WR's can't get open or drop passes? This may have been a good pick BUT Nabers or Odunze would have "arguably" helped the offense more IMHO.

This is going to need a few surprises discovered along the way. Still have two days of drafting, then UDFA's to add, but Harbaugh is going to be under a microscope as this gets closer to season start.

I hope day 2 gets us Dejean Cooper/Kool Aid or Herbert some weapons. More importantly...who will catch it ? There's Palmer (sometimes-when thrown to) There's Hurst (sometimes-when thrown too) There's QJ (seldom) There's DD (shorties...to trick the defense) And there's...there's rookie 6th rounder, Bub.
