I'm thinking this is officially my draft crush for the upcoming draft. Looks like he could be an exceptional starter at either RG or C, has the prerequisite movement ability for this blocking scheme,also has very good awareness and plays with tremendous leverage. Not sure that Kyle would ever commit to drafting a guard early but maybe he could be convinced that Haynes might eventually be moved to center.

Dying for more Christian Haynes tape. Brought so much physicality every snap against NC State. pic.twitter.com/Vp70jEmWUp

Christian Haynes is lightning quick out of his stance. Great athlete that's awesome on reach blocks. Has good rotational strength to put guys on the ground pic.twitter.com/dCOc2lJPx6

Here's a look at Christian Haynes getting busy in pass pro. Dan Morgan already told us what he's looking to bring into this #Panthers roster. 😮‍💨🐾

Christian Haynes is another one of my guys. Powerful iOL with great hand usage and strong anchor, also moves well. Took some reps at OC during Senior Bowl week, but he's a manimal at OG. Here he is reaching CJ Clark of NCSU. #Panthers

UConn guard Christian Haynes was dominant this season.

Led all FBS guards in @PFF pass-blocking grade and big-time blocks.

RG #64 here does a great job sealing off the NC State DL before tossing him aside.

The in-game highlights look great, but in the one-on-one reps, it seems that he struggles to anchor. Might just appear that way because there isn't actually a QB and a pocket around him. Dude moves well, though.

I think he may be a bit much for you to handle.

Absolutely could see him playing center eventually in the NFL.

Haynes' tape is ridiculous. The way he works this stunt is a thing of beauty. Excellent feet after passing off the DT, then throws the EDGE to the ground pic.twitter.com/TOeOVALbqD

This is the type of IOL I want SF go after. Value meets position (3rd rd guy). He's got that dog in him, he finishes plays. He's not super athletic and kinda stocky so his draft value drops, but he's got a ton of starts under his belt. You can tell he's played a lot of football.

scheme will matter for him…think Kevin Dotson. Drafted day3 by Pitt a couple years ago, got traded for some low rd capital and balled out for LA this yr.

Has he played C? I think he's be a great pick in R2 especially if he has C upside and could allow them to go a different direction in R1

UCONN OG Christian Haynes has a very particular set of skills that include climbing to block LB's on outside zone as well as anyone I've watched all year. pic.twitter.com/S2nRoTuEuy

Can already see him ending up with the Packers and its going to piss me off.

Haynes going to be a Day 2 pick and immediate starter for someone. Might have best iOL feet in the class - awesome in WZ scheme

"He's an old-school, tough, nasty guy. He is explosive. He can jolt guys at the LOS. He can really run, pull, and adjust. Pass pro, he can slide, change directions. I just love his attitude." A scout to Bob McGinn on Christian Haynes pic.twitter.com/x9znWFPfVA
