Quote:I disagree with this. He is the best pass protector. Robinson is the better run blocker. Matthews is the better all around tackle IMO and can play both sides.

As it stands now he may struggle playing tackle at the next level based on his arm length and may be asked to move inside.

Strictly as a prospect I like him. He's very good in pass pro as you alluded to. But he lacks the elite traits and measurables.

Per rotoworld:

Quote:Texas A&M OT Jake Matthews measured 6-foot-5 1/2 and 308 pounds at Thursday's NFL Combine weigh-in.

He has somewhat short arms at 33 3/8 inches, although not quite short enough to eliminate Matthews from left tackle consideration. There has been some odd buzz about NFL teams fancying Matthews as an interior lineman, which would hurt his stock. We expect him to stay at tackle and be a top-ten pick in May's draft.
