Jon Scott
Pros: Nice frame that can add wieght to it without losing quickness, Has shown ability to be both a punishing run blocker and effective pass protector, has solidified himself as one of the best offensive linemen to come out of the Big 12 while facing some of the best defensive linemen in the nation for four years as a starter.
Cons: Will need strength training inorder to be prepared for some of the stronger defensive linmen in the NFL, Has the quickness needed to match speed rushers but is not very strong at first contact.
