Scouting Report: Strengths
- When his hand placement is right, Dalcourt has the strong grip that allows him to manhandle opponents. Dalcourt plays with a mean streak and keeps the nastiness going through the whistle.
- An agile mover who puts his length to good use, using his hands aggressively and landing solid initial punches. He can move to the second level as a run blocker, with the coordination and balance to hit moving targets.
- He may not be a top-end mauler, but he has some unique traits in the run game and could probably transition to a guard spot if necessary.
- Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
- As a pass protector, he plays with good balance and holds up against the bull rush. He has strong hands and does a nice job gripping and latching on once he has his hands on the pass rusher.
- Dalcourt thrives on physicality, often out-grappling bigger defensive linemen and winning in the phone booth with tenacity and upper-body strength.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’ll give effort, but doesn’t generate much power at the point of attack. He’s not the type of interior blocker who can re-establish the line of scrimmage, instead relying on angles and technique to win.
- Dalcourt seems too focused on winning with his hands, too often stopping his feet. Dalcourt also plays with poor balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.
- Not an explosive athlete and has limited range. Will pop upright off the snap and needs to stay balanced, avoid the habit of lunging.
