Stats

Joe has been extremely durable. He hasn’t missed a game yet. In 2013 Dahl played all 12 games at left guard. In 2014 Joe moved to left tackle, and only let up 1 sack the whole season.





Positives

Locks onto defenders

Has very quick feet

Shows textbook knee bend

Has strong hands

Keeps his balance well

Get’s to the 2nd level quickly

Targets well at the next level

Always keeps the defender squarely in front of him





Negatives

Doesn’t have the body of work most tackles have blocking the run

Shuffles backwards instead of going out with a kick step

Could have problems with speed rushers

Almost only blocked coming out of a 2 point stance

Won’t fit in every offense







Conclusion

Dahl has interested me quite a bit this year. He is a guy that has come from zero expectations, to being the most reliable lineman on the Cougars offense. A lot of scouts don’t see Dahl staying at left tackle in the NFL, and I side with them. I do believe he can survive as a RT, and thrive as a guard. He was mostly playing inside at the Senior Bowl practices. For the Jets, I can see Dahl coming in, and being able to fill a few different roles. I believe he can play every position along the O-line except LT. Yes, I think he can even play center. With the age and talent level being in question for our O-line this year, having a moldable piece like Dahl can ease some concerns. Dahl has a chance today to really impress scouts. Right now, I see Dahl going somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd round.
