Gil Brandt's Analysis
Grubbs is a very solid pick here. He's going to be a starter for a long time. He's a player who came to Auburn originally as a DL, then moved to offense. He has been a three-year starter on a team that loves to run the ball. He also does a very good job with pass protection.

Pat Kirwan: Very impressive run blocker. He'll be a first-day starter. He can enter the NFL and pass block right away. The most impressive thing is he has great balance and can pull and trap. He also can get out in front of a screen, block and trap.

Vic Carucci: The Ravens needed to bring some youth to their offensive line. Grubbs might not play the position that was the team's No. 1 need on the O-line (tackle), but he should do plenty to help improve Baltimore's run blocking and pass protection. He is talented enough and smart enough to be an immediate starter.

I would really like to see more pancake blocks on his highlight reel, especially for a guy that is touted to be physical and mean.

I could care less about "pancake" blocks. Can he open holes and pass block by pushing the guy around? If so, who cares if he ends up on his ass. It's like rating baseball pitchers by strike outs, who cares, just get outs.

This guy sounds like a rock solid G and I hear Faneca comparisons. If he is a perennial pro-bowler like Faneca and he plays the next 10 years next to Brown and Chester we are golden, especially with Terry taking over LT when JO retires. Our OL looks young and quite good now and damn...I LIKE IT!

It's about f***ing time. Our skill players on offense all just got better.
