Round 3, No. 71, Matt Peart, OT, UConn
Peart is a heck of an athlete that boasts terrific length. The 6-foot-5 and 310 pound tackle doesn’t have overwhelming power to dominate his opponents, but he quickly finds his landmarks and uses his natural movement skills, base and length to keep rushers busy. Along with that, he is a great run blocker.
For a zone heavy scheme (which is what the Chargers could be eluding to), he would be the perfect match. The former UConn product would become the team’s starting right tackle right away, taking over for the current starter, Sam Tevi.
