Overall
Quinn Blanding is a smart and experienced safety. He takes good angles and is a solid tackler, but he isn’t a hard hitter. He isn’t a playmaker and doesn’t force many turnovers, but he shows the ability to cover ground and get the job done. Quinn has played mostly zone coverage and will have to learn man coverage going forward. He is looking to be a 4th round pick.
