Be honest, did you raise your eyebrows after seeing the measurements of Rob Havenstein? I did, too. Needless to say, the Wisconsin tackle is a monster of an individual, but with that type of size comes one major setback: athleticism.

If a defensive end thinks they are going to get to the quarterback by bull rushing him, think again. But, if a player like Von Miller were to utilize his foot quickness and ability to low around the edge, Havenstein will have some problems. These concerns have him projected to go in the fourth round or later.

Havenstein could be a project, but he has the potential to be something special with a season or two of seasoning and some veteran and coaching help.
