What the analysts are saying

• "While his frame could still use more mass, he plays with good technique and play strength at the point of attack and shows an ability to impose his will upon edge defenders if they half-step into the rep." Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Schultz lacks a true distinguishing trait with ordinary athleticism and strength, but he is assignment sound and tough and can be an asset for an NFL offense." Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
