I have read a few draft profiles on him that reference a little bit of nasty in his game. His biggest weakness is his short arms. He definitely has power.
I saw at least one profile that compared him to Logan Mankins. If he turns out to be as good as that guy then it will be a hell of a pick. I definitely like it. They tried to trade out but couldn't so they stuck to their board and ended up with a really good OL, even when their biggest needs were on the defensive side of the ball. That has to be looked at as a good sign for the direction of the organization.
Everyone has been screaming at them to get serious about building an strong OL for years and they've actually done it the ideal way...through the draft.
I find myself somewhat confused by what appears to be a smarter, more responsible approach this organization has taken as of late. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to pay big dividends in the Win/Loss column in 2014, but it should in the long run.
I say all this after round 1 though. Still plenty of time for them to get cute and take some WTF? linebacker out of Bejeezus St. in round 2, another TE in round 3, some injury-prone DT in round 4, etc.
