Watch RG #77. As noted on broadcast, a strong zone scheme fit. Has to get consistent with playing lower but has some tools to work with.

Honestly I thought he would go a little higher. Ton of reps in this scheme, played both sides of the IOL. I wouldn't be shocked if he makes this team and gets some starts under his belt sooner than later.

Is that a compliment to him or does it simply show how bad our current lg situation is?

Yep. He's got ability and some polish. With Banks gone and Zakelj terrible, the competition is wide open for LG.

Wouldn't surprise me if this guy pulls a Puni & wins the LG spot. Athletic traits there, been in the system at Iowa & Iowa has been a factory when it comes to blocking.

I was thinking the same. Helps to have Trent next to you.

Our center was a weakness and no relief in sight there.

He must be pretty good to land on the Big 10 first team. He's certainly got a chance to at least be a solid backup the first year. Coming from a similar system should help.

Hope they watched A LOT of his tape. Maybe they noticed the guy playing right next to him who will be one of the top centers in next year's draft class.

so @colecubelic told me to check out Logan Jones from Iowa, another converted DL->OC for the Hawkeyes. Raw in areas you'd expect, but man the lateral quickness and strength are pretty special. pic.twitter.com/NntNoPeTcx

Really like this pick and not just bc it's an olineman. I think he will be the starting LG by week 8

What do you guys think about him beating out batch to start next to Trent? If there is a guy to pair him with in his rookie year - it's Trent.

Iowa is well coached and somewhat similar scheme. Dudes experienced - I wouldn't be mad if we gave him a chance to start.

He has 32" arms compared to Bartch 33". Better at guard than OT.

NFL.com rates him candidate for "bottom of roster/practice squad." Time for Foerster to get to work on him.

It will be Bartch or Buford 100%
