2) Vadal Alexander
Experience: Senior
Height/Weight: 6-5/326 LBS
Projected Round: 2nd
Career Summary: 2015 Second Team All-American at right tackle; 2015 First Team All-SEC; 2014 Second Team All-SEC as a left guard; Four-year starter at both left guard (25 starts) and right tackle (21 starts)
Vadal Alexander comes into the NFL draft widely regarded as the second best guard and is sure to be chosen by the end of the second round. Alexander had a magnificent career at Louisiana State University, starting his freshman and senior year at right tackle, and his sophomore and junior year at left guard.
Alexander brings the size, skills and ability to play both tackle and guard in the NFL, but he will be better suited to start his career off as a guard. His versatility also points to his ability to be coached and the fact that he is a quick learner, both of which will really help him transition to an NFL starter his rookie year.
Alexander is a monster in the running game and will control even NFL-caliber players. He would be best suited in a strong running system, yet he has showed versatility to be able to be successful in both the pass game and run game. At LSU he blocked for quarterback Zach Mettenberger, as well as blocked for Heisman-hopeful Leonard Fournette.
He still needs to continue working on his footwork, as he can be heavy on his feet and not the quickest at times. If the Broncos really want him, they may need to grab him in the first round, as there is a very little chance he will be available at pick 63.
