Matt Peart draft position

[uconnfan68]

Peart is not a right tackle in the NFL unless the QB is a lefty. And if he is viewed as a right tackle he is not going close to the first round. Teams will be looking at Peart as a Left Tackle.

If he can't play left tackle at UConn, what makes you think he can in the NFL?

He was good enough to start as a freshman. Like all freshman he was inconsistent, I don't recall him ever being a mess.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I’m not saying he can.

I definitely wrote that. No where did I say I though Matt Peart can play left tackle in the NFL.

Ok, but why would they look at a right tackle as left tackle material?

I think they believe his athleticism projects well to the left side. I would disagree with that belief.

Since he played left and right tackle cant he play either position? And be drafted for either side?

We’ll see where he is drafted. He doesn’t have massive size, so it is going to be an athletic and technique reason he goes high.

When Pros miss on OTs In first round I think it is the super big guys like Wreck Flowers.

The funny thing is Flower's is now playing well at guard which is where some thought he would be best at as a Pro.
Peart needs more strength to play in the NFL, but he can do that when it becomes a job and not 20 hours a week that it is now. His size, foot work, and length is what makes some in the NFL have a high grade on him.
