Scouting Report: Strengths
- Shows excellent awareness when presented with stunts and blitzes, and Saldiveri works well with teammates on combo blocks
- Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute.
- Technician as a pass protector, playing with a wide base and very good balance. Saldiveri has heavy hands, but more impressively, he is consistent with his kick slide and shows impressive lateral movement.
- Shows good quickness and flexibility on reach blocks, and he has enough range to get out as a puller.
- Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
- Strong enough to control and plant linebackers and safeties attacking gaps.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Tends to slip off blocks when going against bigger linemen, and Saldiveri too often finishes plays on the ground.
- Solid all-around prospect, but he’s not elite in any one area.
- Clearly more comfortable moving forward than sliding back as a protector.
