2024 NFL Draft: Christian Mahogany Scouting Report

Mahogany’s Strengths

Elite jarring power and is an elite run blocker at the point of attack. This leads to opening great holes for the running back to run through. Devastating down blockers and pullers multiple times are seen on film knocking defenders on their butts.
Due to his power and athleticism, he can operate in any scheme. He can operate a reach block and hook the defender in the zone, displacing him on the ground.
Elite in space. He has been used multiple times as a puller on screens, knocking defenders down like a bad habit. He can flip his hips, make eye contact with smaller defenders, and move them with ease.
He has a strong anchor in pass pro and big, strong hands to swallow a pass rusher bull rush. Has adequate recovery skills and football IQ to find work to help teammates.

Mahogany’s Weakness

He struggles against quicker defensive linemen who can operate up the field. He needs to better adjust to defensive slants, twists, and stunts.
He must stay patient in pass protection, especially at the NFL Level. He loves to lounge or strike first, which occasionally causes him to lose to quick stutter moves. NFL defensive rushers will expose this, and he will lose pass protection if it is not fixed.
Hand timing needs to improve, which would help him use his power and hand strength to stop defenders.
Lateral quickness and bend need work to mirror pass rushers.
Suffered knee injury in 2022 but got better playing in 2023 as the year went on.

Projection: Second Round Pick

NFL Comparison: Robert Hunt

Best Fits: Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, and the Tennessee Titans.

Bottom Line

Christian Mahogany is a mauler who would best operate in a run-heavy first, quick-play action scheme. This would highlight his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. He regularly displaces defenders in the run game with his elite power and surprisingly quick feet. He can flip his hips in space, which allows him to be effective in the quick screen game and as a puller. Mahogany NFL pro comparison was Robert Hunt. Robert Hunt just got paid $100 million by the Carolina Panthers due to his ability to be a mauler in the run game. Defensive linemen can beat both, Hunt and Mahogany, with stutters and quick moves, but they both have great anchors. Christian Mahogany possesses Pro Bowl potential.
