OVERVIEW
Teams already know what to expect from Nick, as his brother Zack excelled in his first two seasons with Dallas after being selected in the first round in 2014. Nick will bring versatility along with the family toughness to an NFL team. He moves between center and guard without an issue (started at left guard 10 games in 2014, three games at center that year as well as most of 2013 and all of 2015), displaying a strong anchor in pass pro and nimble feet to attack linebackers in the run game. Teams envying the Cowboys' prodigious but athletic front line should consider picking up this Golden Domer.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Loves to play the game as physically as he can. Plays with a mean streak and then some. Finishes a block with authority if he gets the advantage. Showed ability to anchor and play with strengths against power across from him. Usually first into defender after snap. Despite some hip stiffness, moves fairly well when asked to get out in front of screen plays. Keeps head on a swivel at all times. Aware of both gaps when in pass protection and he's uncovered. Plays with wide base in pass pro. Often first to get hands on pass rusher and will get some extension early in the rep. Gets the most out of average length. Team captain and unchallenged leader up front. Has started at guard and center while at Notre Dame so may offer roster flexibility.
WEAKNESSES
Looks labored in his movement. Stiffness in hips stymies ability to sink and anchor. Leads with upper body too often and plays with weight out over his feet. Needs to bring his feet up under him. Had issues redirecting with power against pass rushers who gained early advantage. Gets jostled around and has to work overtime to stay engaged against powerful players. Will struggle to reach and secure move blocks. Can improve with recognition of blitzes.
SOURCES TELL US
"He was much more athletic before his knee injury. He's had to fight through some physical limitations and I know that he's been frustrated because of that. He struggled in 2014 and I thought he still looked a little beat up this year. If he can get healthy, he'll start in our league." -- NFC North scout

John Sullivan
BOTTOM LINE
Three-year starter who possesses the leadership, intelligence and toughness that general managers and offensive line coaches look for from their centers. A season ending knee injury in 2013 might have taken away some of his natural bend and athleticism, but Martin's play strength and toughness should make him an early starter in the league at either guard or center.

Nice Pick #2 on Mike Mayocks List of Centers, but yes plays OG Too! 'Kid brother' to Zach, right!?

 

[Gandalf]

The New Orleans Saints agree to send their 2nd round pick #47 and their 3rd round pick #78 to the Pittsburg Steelers who will send their 2nd round pick #58, their 3rd round pick #68 and their 4th round pick #105 to the New Orleans Saints.
The Pittsburg Steelers are on the clock.

With the 47th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select.....

Su'a Cravens, SS, USC



When you watch Cravens play, you see a playmaker. Whether it's at safety or at linebacker, he's always around the ball, getting picks, getting TFLs and sacks, forcing fumbles. The Steelers will slot Cravens right next to Mike Mitchell at SS, and allow him to wreak havoc in the box. Some see him as only a linebacker, but not me. I see a fluid athlete with exceptional cover skills and outstanding instincts. Put him anywhere, move him around. He's a versatile weapon on the defensive side of the ball that will reach his full potential in the Pittsburgh system. Su'a Cravens will be the next great Steelers safety from USC, maybe even up there with Troy Polamalu when all is said and done.


@Legatron4 is on the clock

Had him very high on my board. Had both Su'a and Nkemdiche rated highly, and would have happily taken either at 25, and yet I got both in the second round. Let's just say I'm very pleased with this draft so far.

I'm a fan of Yannick. Can't say I expected him to go quite this early, but I like it a lot actually. Good pick.
