82nd overall-Cyril Richardson-Baylor- Giant guard with big hands, long arms, and strong as a bull. Carries a spare tire, but still a very well conditioned athlete as he had to play in Baylor’s up-tempo offense, and should adjust to the speed of the game in the NFL well, because of it. Also can play right tackle which offers positional versatility.
Alternate pick-Chris Watt-Notre Dame- Watt has all the intangibles anyone could ask for to play on an NFL line. He’s got a mean streak, great leadership quality, smart and works well in tandem with line-mates, can play with power or on the move, and has played against top level competition. He can use some junk in the trunk, has average athleticism, and his arms aren’t very long, but this kid’s competing for a starting job right out of the chute.
