Notable Games

Michigan State

Not only is this the first game of the season but Grasu and the Ducks as a whole have to be able to prove they can play tough and be able to get some push against a big, strong defense. Grasu could really set the tone for a good season or leave people with a ton of questions as to how good he truly can be.

More from NFL Draft News

Washington

Danny Shelton is one of the biggest and explosively strong interior linemen in the country, but Grasu may have had his best performance against him last season. It showed just how different a player Grasu is when he is able to be the low man and get under an opponent’s pads.

Stanford

Grasu struggled against Stanford, especially when it came to functional strength. This will give him an opportunity for redemption and give him a chance to prove critics wrong.

System Fit

Zone Scheme Tackle

This is most of what Oregon does and where Grasu has shown to be most effective. He can operate on the move, has range.

Gap Scheme Tackle

This does not seem likely as it would likely require Grasu to add a bunch of bad weight to help him anchor and consistently drive, but it is not out of the question.

Draft Projection

Based on 2013 tape: Undrafted Free Agent

With improvement in key areas in 2014: Fringe Top 100 pick
