The Breakdown
Anthony Castonzo is a three-year starter who began his college career as a 260-pound right tackle. Since then, the long-limbed offensive lineman has packed on close to forty pounds and has successfully made the transition to left tackle. Castonzo possesses the athleticism and footwork necessary to man the blindside in the NFL, and he excels at blocking on the move. However, he needs to add some bulk and improve his overall strength: at this point, he’s not the type of lineman who’ll pop pads and dominate at the point of attack. Despite his weaknesses, Castonzo is highly thought of in the scouting community; National Scouting gave him the highest grade of any senior offensive tackle. People around the BC lineman reportedly believe that he’ll be a top five pick, but it’s yet to be seen whether Castonzo will make the improvements necessary to establish him as an elite draft prospect.
