David Arkin of Missouri State ~ 6.5/300
"Bio: Four-year starter at guard and left tackle. All-Conference selection since his freshman season and named an All-American after his senior campaign.
Positive: Strong position blocker who is best in a small area. Has a thick build, stays square, and makes terrific use of angles. Keeps his feet moving, patient in pass protection, and strong at the point of attack. Easily controls defenders once engaged in a block and turns them off the line. Works to bend his knees and blocks with a wide base.
Negative: Looks stiff, ineffective in motion, and does not possess the footwork necessary to slide out and protect the edge. Struggles to adjust.
Analysis: Arkin is a large lineman with growth potential and next level skill. He has the potential to back-up at several positions and could eventually develop into a starter."

Consensus Draft's Adam Steinebach on David Arkin:
"Overview: David Arkin has the size necessary to play in the NFL. He's a 3 year starter from Missouri State, and he's alternated between guard and tackle in his tenure.
Strengths: All-MVC First Team award in 2009, recording 71 pancakes. Honor student, intellectually sound football player.
Weaknesses: Played against limited skill competition. Might not be as big as his listed size. Combines will determine whether he is draftable.
Projection: At current, David is going to make a good UDFA. If his size checks out, and he proves to have adequate footwork, he could sneak into round 6 or 7."
