All-bowl Team

Who thought he wouldn't get drafted? Hasn't he been slated to go in the top two rounds all year?

I don't think top 2 rounds is realistic for a slightly "under-sized" by NFL standards Guard, but I'd heard 3-5 pretty much all year.

No, some sites have him as a borderline draft pick right now (updated since the end of the bowl season). OGs aren't normally drafted highly (the best are usually high 2nd rounders and elite OGs can be mid to late 1st). Also, he's a little short for the position at 6-1 - the ones projected the highest are 6-3/6-4 with a little more weight as well.

I hope he does slip into the late rounds and the Falcons take a shot at him - would definitely have a chance to develop behind aging Blalock.
 
he probably won't go to a team that passes heavily like the Saints or Patriots. he'll go to a team like Houston or Seattle (or SF, or Carolina)
 
a possible move to center for him, as well, due to his height.

To be fair, I could have sworn that Uzzi was going to get drafted too.

CBS predicts he'll go in the 7th round / be a free agent. He is literally the shortest guard in the entire draft, including ones not picked to be drafted. He's down there in weight too, though not at the back. They've got him as the 16th best guard.

NFL Draft Scout has him as 16th. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=110149&draftyear=2015&genpos=OG

Don't be surprised if he does go to the Pats. They still can and will run the ball and Belichick likes guys from Tech, Guyton, Jamea Thomas, e.g.
 
if he could get on a team that had a certain offense with "active"OGs with pulling,etc. ,he would do ok.

And apparently, Belichick and CPJ are really good friends, not sure if true or not, just have heard this before.

He's either going to be a center at the next level, or he probably won't have a career. He'll get drafted though. If he can make the transition to Center, watch the **** out!
