BIG PICTURE
Logan Stenberg is a former three-star prospect from Alabama that got plucked by Kentucky to be their left guard, where he started all 39 of the Wildcats' games since 2017. Improved his protection as the years went by while remaining a sturdy run blocker. Named first-team All-SEC last year. Posted middling combine scores, but nothing too scary. Could be a low-ceiling, high-floor acquisition.
COMBINE NOTABLES
5.3 40-yard dash
26-inch vertical
104-inch broad jump
8.0 3-cone drill
4.83 20-yard shuttle
VIKINGS' COMPATIBILITY RANKING
4 out of 5. The Vikings usually wait until Day 3 to draft guards, which could describe Stenberg. He is well-seasoned at age 23 much like Garrett Bradbury was last year.
HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT DRAFT EXPERTS SAY
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: "Scrappy, blue-collar guard who plays an assignment-oriented, dependable brand of football. Stenberg is lacking in both body composition and pure play strength and is much better at the first two phases of the block than the finishing phase. He's smart and aware in pass protection, with adequate recovery athleticism to battle edge-to-edge rushers. He should be a capable NFL backup who can step in and hold up if he's asked to step in and start."
Joe Marino, Draft Network: "Kentucky guard Logan Stenberg enters the NFL after starting every game across the last three seasons for the Wildcats at left guard. Stenberg shines in the run game where his power and tenacious mentality lead to considerable movement. While no pass rusher is simply going through him, Stenberg’s tight hips, slow feet and sluggish lateral movement skills will create problems maintaining the depth of the pocket on passing downs in the NFL. Stenberg has the upside to start in a gap-power run scheme but his modest range isn’t ideal and consistency in deeper pass drops could be problematic."
