The Arizona Cardinals have addressed the offense for new head coach Mike LaFleur, adding Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick and now taking Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis.
Bisontis is a 6-5 315lbs guard who has 35 games started in his college career with the Aggies (12 at right tackle, one at right guard and 22 at left guard).
From NFL.com:
Bisontis is a tough, well-schooled guard. He lacks ideal length, but he brings heavy hands, good footwork and plus core strength to the table. He plays with
ideal strain and stickiness to sustain blocks. He has plenty of nasty when he needs it, too. He’s consistent as a move/zone blocker and when working downhill. He can be outreached, stacked and shed when his hands aren’t first, though. While he provides poise and good technique as a run blocker, there are slight levels of anxiety/hurry in his pass protection, with his lack of length a contributing factor. In general, his protection meets the mark and pairs nicely with his run blocking.
Bistontis will likely have to kick over to the right side, which he has started one game at in his career, unless the plan is to move newly acquired Isaac Seumalo to the right side, where he has played in his career.
Either way, that is a conversation for another day, for now, we enjoy the addition of an offensive lineman.
