Didn't see much downside to him, and honestly his tape reminded me of late career Anthony Castanzo in that he had the technique (specifically excellent kick slide) and athleticism to handle elite speed off the edge, and overall showed out as an excellent pass blocker and an average run blocker, someone who can seal off a hole but won't get you very much push from the line of scrimmage.

While I'm sure the hope is that he can step right in and start from day one, realistically speaking if he was ready to do that he likely would have been drafted well before where we picked up. For all of his physical traits he still has only played 2 years at OL in the MAC, which will probably be too big of a leap for him. Guessing he'll get eased into it, but of course stranger things have happened.
