Kinnard needs a lot of work IMO.
- Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
- Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks.
- His hand improvement is only average and must be worked on at the next level
- Often overshoots blocks leaving himself out of position
- Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
