As with all draft picks, you have to wait and see how they do with the big boys. This guy's measurables aren't great, but as somebody pointed out earlier, that's not necessarily a huge deal for an OG. Also, this guy was a 1st team selection to his all-conference team, so he obviously does pretty well on the field.

But I do trust that the FO knows what they are doing, and their track record speaks for itself. |

PFW video said he was projected "3rd to 4th round" and we picked him up in the 6th.
Team scouts obviously see something in him, probably raw size and ability to be coached. Impossible to judge any draft talent until they make the team and perform at some level. |
