He possesses a very good frame and the ability to occupy blockers, allowing linebackers to play downhill in run support. McClellan plays with heavy hands and does a good job controlling his gap at the point of attack. He has the strength to anchor and take on double-teams. But at times he can play too high, which makes him more susceptible to being washed out of the play despite his strength. <em>-- Scouts Inc.</em></p><p></p><h2>Post-Draft Analysis</h2><p>The Packers are two-for-two in beefing up the defense in this draft, with the versatile McClellan a natural fit in a scheme that wants to move players around the defensive line. McClellan fits thanks to his skills as a 1-technique, with some 3-technique upside. The key is him learning to play with better leverage when he's in a two-gap situation, but his quickness and disruptive abilities are easy to see. The Packers' best interior lineman -- Javon Hargrave -- is 33 years old, making this a clear need. <em>-- Matt Miller</em></p></blockquote><p></p>
