He can be a force in the run game.
He has power.
He has experience playing both OT positions.
He didn't test much at the Combine, but he did well in the vert and did ok in the broad.
He measured in with near-ideal size and length at 6'5", 318 lb, and 33.75" arm length.
His pass protection isn't quite as far along as his run blocking though, but that might be ok if he gets a year (or two) under his belt as a swing tackle while a combo of Williams, Carman, and/or Collins covers the starting duties.

He had plenty of dominating performances for Syracuse, but just like the other 3 on that list, he has his flaws that need to be improved upon. The real knock on him is narrowish frame and only an arm length of 33.75. They say he's athletic enough to play Tackle, but needs work on hand placement and anchor (pretty much routine stuff for most prospects). Some project him to be an All-Pro level run blocker if moved inside, but the same was said about Jackson Carman.

Starts by year:
2019 - 5 starts at RT
2020 - 3 starts at RT, 8 starts at LT
2021 - 12 starts at LT
2022 - 11 starts at LT
Thanks guys, I am all for Bergeron now if he is the pick. Like you say Ocho, I like those powerful OL and Bergeron is versatile
playing on both sides. This opened up my mind more on the Draft. Major reps to both of you.
