He helps set the floor as functional in case we can't do better in the draft. Given the scheme, I'd actually prefer him to Patrick. More athleticism at their respective ages.
Bigger offensive lineman (6'6 G) as opposed to the diminutive 6'2 G who couldn't hold up vs bigger interior lineman but was good enough to get in the way in the zone blocking scheme to appear effective.
Whether this guy is being looked at to start or not the archetype is what we should be paying attention to this off-season.
