STRENGTHS
Cody is the type of offensive lineman that doesn’t stop blocking until he hears the whistle. He’s big and strong and has the quick feet that all offensive linemen need, to play multiple positions on the offensive line. Cody shows leadership skills through his play on the field. He is unique in that he never stops moving his feet off the snap of the ball. Cody has excellent overall athletic talent and although he is still learning the Left Tackle position he is better than half the Left Tackles in the NFL right now. He is smart and understands that he needs to marry his athleticism to the Techniques of his position, and not just rely on athleticism alone. He has the athleticism to be used as a pulling guard or tackle and gets to the second level with ease and quickness that most offensive linemen do not possess. Cody has the potential to be a franchise Left Tackle, Left Guard, or Right Tackle for the team that selects him.
CONCERNS
Cody is aggressive and penalties might a problem at first but he will adjust, just give him some time. Some teams will be wary that Cody played for North Dakota State and not for an SEC team and will downgrade him for that reason. That being said, the Senior Bowl will be big for Cody to impress those teams who don’t believe that he can be considered as an early pick, in this draft.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.50
Cody has the talent to be as good a Left Tackle as Jason Peters and as good a Right Tackle as Lane Johnson. He shows on film, respect for learning the correct Techniques of his position like former Browns LT Joe Thomas. How do I know this? I have seen his quick technique progression, on film, from when he used to play Tight End. I have seen him keep his feet and stay on his blocks 20 yards down the field. I don’t care what level you play at, that’s impressive. Cody could be a special offensive lineman but…if you want to nitpick yourself from selecting him early, be my guest just remember, I told you so. Remember my rule, when you see the obvious, you draft the obvious.
I pictured him as an upgrade at left guard. Everyone says he does an amazing job pulling and has really good technique.
He seems to be projected at the top of the 2nd round.

Figured. Yeah, Mauch could be a good one as long as he learns to keep those hands inside the Defender like OSUfan said. Also
agree with OSUfan that he is a Tackle which is what we need anyways. Would be for Mauch in the 3rd as that is where I see him
taken, being Volson's old teammate is cool too. The NDST OL coach must be a good one to be putting out OL like this.
