The 2019 NFL Draft is underway in Nashville, and FTW’s lead NFL writer Steven Ruiz is grading picks and offering analysis on how each player will fit with his new team.
No. 14: Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College
Analysis: Meh. Chris Lindstrom will be a good player. He may even develop into one of the best guards in the league. But he’s still a guard, and there are several good guard prospects who would have been available later in the round. Trading down would have been the better move.
GRADE: C-
31 (via LAR): Kaleb McGary, OT Washington
Analysis: Oh, man. Kaleb McGary is a good player, but the Falcons gave up A LOT to move up to get him. And there are still a couple good tackle prospects (Jawaan Taylor and Dalton Risner) left on the board, so it wasn’t a move they had to make. McGary is a big dude, but he’s not a great athlete, which will be a concern on the edges.
