Three-year starter and two-time team captain who combines brains and brawn at his left guard spot. Like most Indiana blockers, he's well-schooled and ahead of the game from a technique standpoint. He has functional athleticism but is better suited firing out that pulling or playing in space. He has NFL strength, but he plays with a lack of kneed bend that can limit his ability to anchor in both run and pass blocking. Martin offers plus value on Day 3 as a good backup with eventual starter's potential.
Knight's draft grade could be tied direction to where teams decide to try and play him. He lacks the length and talent to hold up as a tackle and might be best-suited to move all the way inside to center if he can snap it consistently. He's a quick processor with the feet to slide from gap to gap in pass sets and he appears tailor-made for run schemes heavy on inside and outside zone thanks to his athleticism. Play strength and anchor are concerns, but he should come off the board later on Day 3.
