Christian Getting Day 2 Grades for the 2018 NFL Draft

Updated Feb. 13, 2018

Louisville left tackle Christian was not expected to enter the 2018 NFL Draft, and evaluators feel that he should have returned to school to improve before going pro. That being said, there are sources who feel that Christian possesses a good physical skill set with big upside. They say he has lots of tools to work with and impressive athletic ability for a 6-foot-5, 300-pound tackle. They also note his excellent quickness, agility and athleticism. Christian isn't a first-rounder because he gives up some bad pressures. He is slow to redirect back to the inside, counter inside moves, and too often oversets to the outside.

One college scouting director said Christian has terrible technique, is really raw, and needs a lot of work. He has the skill set, however, to be a starting left tackle in the NFL. They compared Christian to Duane Brown coming out of Virginia Tech in 2008. Brown was a converted tight end who was still learning to play left tackle and had rough start to his pro career before developing into a Pro Bowler and franchise left tackle.

Sources say that Christian is getting grades for the second day of the 2018 NFL Draft, and they believe that after a year or two of development, Christian could turn into a good starting left tackle in the NFL.
