Projected as a guard, the Patriots announced him as an offensive tackle. Strong hands, wide base and
plus pass protection are his calling cards in a zone scheme. Perhaps the safest pick in the draft because he's an All American tackle who has played left guard, center and has tackle-like length, slide, and keeps his hands anchored inside.

As a tackle last season, he allowed just five quarterback pressures in 15 games, with no sacks, and is a monster in the running game - a natural zone scheme lead blocker who climbs to the second level easily and obliterates linebackers.

The Patriots just got tremendous value and a blind side protector who can play all over the line in an emergency.
