I've seen this guy hyped up as the best guard in the country and a sleeper pick to sneak into the first round. Not sure what the hell they're watching. At his very best he's solid, without any elite traits.

For someone who's started nearly every game since his redshirt freshman season, you wouldn't expect as many fundamental lapses like poor cut blocks and high leverage in short yardage. And he needs his technique to be perfect, because his arms are short and he's not very mobile (even on short-side pulls he misses linebackers). Sixth or seventh round.

+ Can make some nice seal and drive blocks; mostly plays with very good leverage in the running game
- Not a strong NFL fit for zone blocking and ducks his head a lot
- If he's actually 6'4 I'll name my first child Steve Spurrier
