Executive Summary

Riley Mahlman projects as an undrafted free agent priority with developmental upside as a backup tackle or practice squad candidate. He possesses adequate size and functional strength but lacks the athletic explosiveness and lateral mobility required to consistently handle NFL edge rushers at either tackle position. Teams valuing patience and positional versatility may find value in Mahlman as a camp body, though his ceiling appears capped as a reserve-level contributor.

⚠ Risk Factors

His 56/99 composite grade reflects significant limitations in functional athleticism and playing speed that may not translate to NFL tempo. Mahlman's performance against top-tier Big Ten competition raised sustainability questions, and he lacks the developmental trajectory that typically precedes later-round success stories at offensive tackle.
