What the analysts are saying

• "Madison's athletic ability, foot quickness, and ability to sustain blocks on the move make him a desirable target for teams who want offensive linemen who can excel in space. However, his lack of anchor in pass protection will likely be targeted by pass-rushers looking for holes to exploit. A move inside to guard could benefit Madison, if he can add strength and play with better knee bend." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Through hard work, Madison developed into one of the better right tackles in the Pac-12 over the past four seasons. He possesses the size and agility NFL scouts are looking for, but is more of a technician who relies on positioning and his quickness than the powerful, glass-eating earth-mover some clubs expect at the strongside tackle position."
