Prospect No. 35: OT Abraham Lucas

College: Washington State

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 332

Draft range: 3rd

Analysis: Lucas has mainly lined up at right tackle during his collegiate career, but if the Panthers like him enough they could find a way to make it work. Whether that's flipping him to the left side or maybe toying with the idea of Moton going over there although that doesn't seem ideal.

Analysis from NFL Draft Bible on Sports Illustrated:

Lucas is a massive right tackle that makes up for below-average mobility with his size and length. His straight-line speed and lateral movement will likely keep him on the right side, but he takes a patient approach with a good understanding of the advantages his size and length give him. He’s currently more advanced in pass protection than he is as a run blocker, and his pad level must improve in all facets of his game. He likely fits better in a gap-heavy scheme than a zone-heavy one because of his limited range as an athlete. Still, he has a chance to earn a starting role very early in his career, and with further development, Lucas could be a long-term starter in the NFL.
