Hearing Rams pick will be T Rob Havenstein. Some say he will be an NFL guard.

10. ROB HAVENSTEIN | Wisconsin 6073|321 lbs|5SR Mount Airy, Md. (Linganore HS) 5/13/1992 (age 22) #78
GRADE 3rd-4th Round


BACKGROUND: A three-star offensive tackle recruit out of high school, Robert “Rob” Havenstein considered offers from Maryland, Wake Forest and others before deciding to enroll at Wisconsin, redshirting in 2010. He served as a back-up redshirt freshman in 2011, earning his first start at right tackle. Havenstein became the full-time starter at right tackle as a sophomore in 2012, starting all 14 games. He started all 13 games at right tackle in 2012, earning Second Team All-Big Ten honors. Havenstein again started every game as a senior in 2014, earning First Team All-Big Ten and numerous All-American honors. He accepted his invitation to the 2015 Senior Bowl.


STRENGTHS: Mammoth frame with wide shoulders and thickness throughout…uses angles well with strong hands/wrists to turn his man and wall off run lanes, especially to the outside, allowing the run game to run off tackle – can seal inside and outside…bullies defenders with his upper body strength, using a physical punch to jolt and stonewall rushers off the edge – times his punch to strike when rushers start to reach…squares and shuffles well in tight spaces with better quickness than expected for his size…intense finisher who looks to dominate and eliminate his man…functional length to engage and drive defenders into the parking lot…worked hard in the weight room to reshape his body, losing 50+ pounds since arriving in Madison…mature, motivated individual and takes well to coaching…athletic bloodlines – twin brother (Jeff) played Division-I basketball at Longwood University (Va.)…had some snaps at left tackle with an outstanding starting résumé, including 41 straight starts and a school-record 54 games played.


WEAKNESSES: Not the most athletic and lacks ideal lateral range for the position…top-heavy and needs to maintain a manageable weight…heavy feet with too much sand in his pants, lumbering in his kickslide with tight footwork…lacks ideal knee flexibility and too much of a waist bender…leverage will always be an issue for him – not the type of blocker who will consistently sink and sit in his stance…can get to the second level, but fails to redirect and adjust to moving targets…has focused so much on losing weight, but needs to fully develop his upper and lower body strength – only 16 bench press reps is inexcusable for the position…minor durability concerns, missing spring practice in 2012 following shoulder surgery.


SUMMARY: Wisconsin has a long history of producing offensive linemen to the NFL, including seven draft picks at the position the last four years, and Havenstein is the latest product off the Badgers’ conveyor belt. He is a heavy mover and lacks ideal athleticism and range for the position, which will force him inside to right guard for some teams. Havenstein can move just enough to pass protect in small areas, but his ability as a run blocker is what will keep him earning checks in the NFL. He’s a people mover and also excels with angles to latch-and-control, shielding defenders from run lanes, something Montee Ball, James White and Melvin Gordon took full advantage of the last three seasons. Havenstein probably isn’t for everyone, but projects as a borderline top-100 draft choice and starting right tackle for a power-run scheme.

i wonder is gregory isn't gonna sign a contract and re-apply for next years draft because of that missed flight?

[wist43]

I am guessing Ted's board isn't quite as limited.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2m2 minutes ago
A few players still available: DL/LB Owa Odighizuwa, ILB Paul Dawson, TE's Clive Walford and Maxx Williams, QB Bryce Petty.

I was thinking about Odighizuwa, but I like Mauldin more... really, really don't want Dawson.

Walford is a maybe
