The New England Patriots selected offensive tackle Marcus Bryant from Missouri with their seventh-round pick (220th overall). Analysts provide mixed grades, with some noting his large frame (6'7") and strong athletic testing as positives, including an 8.96 Relative Athletic Score. However, concerns about his lack of quickness and susceptibility to speed rushers were highlighted. He brings backup potential for the Patriots' offensive line, fulfilling a need for depth despite doubts about high upside. It remains to be seen if he will develop into a reliable contributor in the NFL.
At this point in the draft, it's all about traits that you think can be cultivated. The big-bodied Bryant sure has them after posting an 8.96 Relative Athletic Score during the pre-draft process.
Bryant brings plenty of size (6'7") and length (34 5/8" arms) to pair with a 4.97-second 40-yard dash. He started all 13 games for Missouri at left tackle last season.
Marcus Bryant has the size you want in an NFL left tackle, and he tested well at the combine, but his lack of quickness leaves him susceptible to pressure.
