Franchise left tackle prospect has room to get even better. His frame, wingspan and athleticism are all covetable, and he plays with great technique instead of relying on his talent. Completely erases speed rushers with his footwork and arm length. His run blocking is solid; he won't always dominate, but it's overstated as a negative.

I thought he had a rough start to the season (against Florida in particular), but played at his expected high level since then. He gets in trouble when defenders beat him with their punch -- while he has enough athletic talent to redirect those mistakes, NFL rushers give less room for error.

Not sexy, but a blindside protector who can be plugged in and start for the next decade.
