He was projected to be a Rd 2-3 pick and ended up falling to the 5th. I thought he was a great prospect that was "country strong", athletic, and a technician. My reasoning for why I still hold out a lot of hope for Westerman is probably also the same with Billings. Guys I thought were drafted later than they deserved but should be solid starters at minimum. I guess we'll see.
I agree, Westerman has always looked good. His game actually reminds me a lot of Zeitler in that he is a superb
pass blocker but not the best run blocker. But he has even looked better in this aspect last year. Don't get why PA
never gave him a shot, he always looked better then Hopkins to me.
He has some kind of illness right now though, could be why Hopkins was with the starters yesterday.
But still so early cannot take anything from it.

I don't think he's stellar anywhere, but I think his versatility is very useful for if any of the starters go down. He's like the epitome of that OL to claim the last spot on the roster every year.
Yes, Hopkins is a good versatile backup in case one of the starters goes down.
