Overview
Watkins played offensive guard for two years before switching to both right and left tackle as a senior. He is huge and can work well in the run game to get a push. He is a big-bodied project at the next level and projects to be a late-round pick for a team needing lineman depth.
Analysis
Strengths - Watkins is a massive blocker who displays athletic ability in his movements and can get upfield when pulling or working toward a linebacker. He is not an explosive player who will blow back a defensive lineman, but once engaged he gets the job done. He uses a strong base to stay on his feet and finish blocks. He has not shown much leg drive to drive defenders back in the run game, but he has been adequate in both the run game and pass protection.
