Pollack mentioned 3 things he looks for in OL:
- Smart
- Nasty
- Athletic

So what guys fit the bill in this draft class?

He’s a technician with power. Notable strength in his core to absorb power, redirect and remain in control.

NASTY: Has a finishers mentality and he looks to put dudes on their back. Does well to unlock his hips in drive block situations and create movement. Highly successful combo blocking and climbing to the second level with consistency. Generally does well to play within himself and not waste-bend or end up on the ground.

ATHLETIC: Has good functional athleticism and range. Tape is littered with impact blocks in the screen game. Packs a fairly powerful punch and he is committed to fitting his hands - no notable timing or placement concerns.

PLAYER:
