I trust in Shanahan, and if he likes him enough to pick him above all other picks not named RG3, then he's got to have potential. However, I thought the ZBS relied on agile athletic O-linemen -- and it is concerning that "stiff" is in there twice, along with "tightly wound" and "limited athlete".. Big concerns to me are: (1) Rated lower on most analylst boards, (2) Small school, (3) Academic ineligibility / 70 lbs weight gain when off duty (?work ethic).
Anyway, would give Shanahan all the benefit of the doubt, since he's usually right on these things.
