Far better player and position flex than the two poor OGs we are consistently linked with.

He's very big and strong at 6-5 and 333 lbs. He's more adept at pass protection than as a run blocker but that's not to say he lacks skill at it, by any means. Jerry Jones is familiar with him and wants to use him as a left guard, by way of his own statements. He has had experience at both tackle spots, though, and I'm sure flexibility is a part of that attraction. His lateral quickness needs work, though, which makes a switch to guard being a temptation to move him there. The Cowboys have long been attracted to players with positional flexibility and he fills that bill.

He's a tackle. He might be able to play guard, but he's best fit at a tackle and will be a better pass protector than Steele, who struggles. I don't think they'll take him, but he'd be an excellent pick.

Watched my first videos on him last night. If he fell to you, you just make the pick and rethink the rest of your draft.

Some of the best hand work from a college player I can remember. Also really knows how to mix up his techniques so opponents can't get a bead on him.

Truly a guy who should step right in. He already understands so much. Coaching will be about the little things. I didn't see anything to make me think he can't be a high level NFL OT.

I think you would be wasting some natural talents if you moved him to G on a permanent basis. But I also think he would dominate at G.
