Rick Leonard NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for New Orleans Saints' Pick

POSITIVES

—Played defensive end before moving to the offensive line in 2016 and is a raw prospect.

—Has a strong punch that can stun and neutralize the pass rush.

—Has enough athleticism to work out in space.

—Is a developmental prospect who's still learning and can be shaped by an NFL team to fit scheme and style.

NEGATIVES

—Lower-body strength to anchor against pressure is mediocre.

—Doesn't have the muscle memory built into his lower body yet and will struggle to consistently reach the same base in pass protection.
