A late round of UDFA type because he is very raw.

From Australia with only 4 years playing football.

I noticed him in the Senior Bowl 1-on-1 drills because he looked really good on some snaps but awkward on others.

Many boards have him taken by the 3rd round. But if he is available in the 5th, I'd be all in on him.

Crazy some here like him as a top 50 type of prospect. I think in today's game a huge Tackle is more of a liability as they usually struggle against speed rushers.

Brugler has him as the #7 OT and 66th overall prospect.

He’ll probably be an acquired taste depending on scheme(will struggle in a zone blocking scheme), but someone will for sure gamble on this monster. I’ll be surprised if he’s on the board for our 4th rounder, for sure no where near UDFA.

I don't see him anywhere near top 50. He'll never play LT.

These mocks have him rated higher than I expected.

Dude is a complete mountain. You won't go through him, but a speed rusher will have some success running past him with an effective stunt.

Maybe he just needs more time to develop, but I wouldn't touch him before Day 3.

I saw him have his struggles at the Senior Bowl Practices against speed/quickness.
 
I see him and I get Aaron Gibson flashbacks. And that's not a good thing.
 
If he can gain quickness, he would be a good tackle.
Right now, he would make a good guard, except he can't get low enough and will always end up out leveraged.

Could he be taught leverage or could he be taught quickness...............project

I think he becomes a right tackle, I just don't see him as a left tackle that some do.
