I hope it's not Heyer. I won't deny that he may be a steal down the road, but today he doesn't have the strength IMO (especially leg strength) and he definitely lacks the mean streak that make o-lineman feared in this league.

Chad R. showed a serious mean streak in Iowa. Statistically I think he put more guys on the ground than any other o-lineman in the division last year. That shows he's tough and he stays with blocks. Too bad we haven't heard Buges raving about him so far, but I still think he will end up starting this year.
