What the analysts are saying
- "Cappa is a better run blocker than pass protector at this stage. Because of that, he could be targeted for a move to guard even though swing tackle is a reasonable fit for him as well." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "He is not a dancing bear but shows good balance and agility blocking on the island, handling the swiftest edge rushers the GNAC threw at him. " - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
