As i say that, Mel Kiper talks highly of C Matt Gulbin pick. C/G versatility. Plays mean and blocks through the whistle.

Good value pick here for Washington, being so serious lol this could be their Day 1 starter at C over Nick Allegretti. My #165 prospect, Matt Gulbin is an older + smaller prospect wit limited athleticism, however he was pretty efficient the past 3 szn’s, nice pick#RaiseHail https://t.co/LIXsICsREJ

Matt Gulbin is the most versatile interior OL in the class with over 10 starts at LG, C, and RG during his time at Wake Forest and Michigan State.

Average athlete but will win in a phone booth. Was excellent against Michigan and Penn State last fall.
Had a round 4 grade on him, nice pick!
