OG Chris Watt, Notre Dame -- Watt seems like he has a role as a 10-year starter if he finds the right offensive system to incorporate him. Watt is not a nimble man: at 6'3", 310 lbs, he plays like he has the density of a dying star. That's not necessarily a knock on his game; he truly is athletically limited, but Notre Dame rarely asked him to pull. Instead, he seems perfectly skilled for a run-heavy offense that prefers a smashmouth, north-south run game. But his pass protection is the strongest part of his game, however, in which he lowers his base and can negate essentially any bullrush that defensive linemen attempt. He is pretty quick in small spaces, though he will still struggle with very athletic DLmen, as most OL do anyway. Ultimately, his physical limitation will leave him inside at guard, and for only a power system, meaning he may drop deep in the draft, but whatever team gets him can very easily mold him into a rock solid starter.
