What to make of Capers?
West Virginia right tackle Selvish Capers did a nice job off the edge and was consistently able to reach the corner, remain balanced and redirect in space. He possesses good length for the position and looks natural when asked to pull and hit a moving target down the field. However, I still don’t think he has the power or strength to be effective on the outside in the NFL. As I’ve said before, if an NFL offensive tackle lacks strength, he makes every defensive end he faces look like a good pass rusher. And that’s why I worry about Capers. Any time he gave up penetration in the pass game, it came on a hard inside move where the opposing defensive lineman was able to fight his way through and come up underneath. Plus, when watching Capers try to create a push as an in-line run blocker, he had a tendency to get too upright into blocks and really widens his footwork on contact. He lacks ideal lower-body strength and I think he projects best as a zone-blocking scheme guard at the next level
