Lachey profiles as a jack of all trades but a master of none at the NFL level. He should find a home on an NFL roster as a quality backup. Lachey isn't an explosive athlete, and this shows up across multiple categories of his film. He doesn't have enough raw speed to threaten down the seam and lacks the upper-body strength to match up with physical defenders in coverage. He is a serviceable blocker at this point. Lachey has a decent punch and can hold his own spot of grass, but you won't see him driving defenders into the dirt. He will allow defenders under his pads at times and can get washed out a play at times in the run-blocking department. He'll work into an NFL passing offense as a decent underneath target. Because of his physical limitations, he has issues separating, but he has a solid understanding of space and how to beat zone coverage. He has average short-area agility. Lachey has efficient footwork, but he lacks the fluidity and juice to add crisp breaks at the top of his stem and in his routes. He's not a mauler after the catch and doesn't possess the speed to chew up yards with the ball in his hands. Lachey profiles as a station-to-station tight end. Lachey finished with 4.7 yards after the catch per reception and only ten missed tackles forced in college.
