When he gets behind his pads and squares up defenders, he's special. He's got an immense latch and can get on the move and elbow drop the middle linebacker in space. When he puts his head down and starts lunging though, he's horrible. It's about 60/40 which version you'll see of him in every game, and his bad plays are spectacularly bad, but he was still Florida State's best linemen before Cameron Irving moved to center.

I like his athleticism and run blocking; I think he can become good enough in protection. Third round, maybe closer to the fourth.

+ Long arms and powerful in space or tight quarters
+ Does well on combination blocks and can play in zone or man
- Technique can disintegrate from snap to snap
- Overall athletic but feet aren't the greatest when mirroring
