2nd round would be too early for him IMO. Great college lineman without any truly elite traits. I think he'll be a very solid player wherever he goes but not a guy who wows you
As far as playing guard, he wouldn't one of my top choices in a draft loaded with high quality guards.
I see your point. I know Cole is definitely not athletic enough to play OT in the NFL, but he would be a good, later round investment as a C/OG swingman. What are your thoughts on Ragnow from Arkansas or B. Price from Ohio St. in the 2nd or 3rd round?
How does he compare to Pat from the Vikes?
