A career tackle who'll move inside as a pro, preferably at right guard. He's a player that doesn't look graceful, but gets the job done and even has some snaps that make you say "whoa." Like when he manhandles Joey Bosa on a run play, and tosses him to the ground like a small child. Or obliterates Randy Gregory for an entire game. Or blocks Shilique Calhoun's pass rush with one arm.
He's not making those plays every snap, or he'd be a low first-rounder, but there's upside here as a short-area blocker. Put him in a man scheme (he doesn't move that well) and I'm betting he has plenty more good days than bad. Third or fourth round.
+ A brute on running plays with a punch that can knock anybody on their ass + Can dominate the most elite defenders from time to time + Good enough feet on initial moves and first contact - Squatty, fat look and slowly chugs around the line on pulls - Dreaded "waist-bender"
