A two-year starting right guard, Farmer's run blocking is ahead of his pass protection. He isn’t broad or girthy, but he features a compact point of power and good core strength. He’s a plus drive blocker capable of leveraging and finishing his work but sees diminishing returns when blocking in space. Farmer will block what is in front of him in protection but frequently stalls his feet when punching, allowing active rushers to slip into his edges and find the pocket. He’s capable when working duo and man-to-man blocks downhill, but his ceiling will be defined by his improvement in pass protection.
A hulking sixth-year senior, Braun comes from a family of athletes and lettered in tennis in high school. He’s a good athlete for his size with the ability to hit back-side cutoffs and make reasonable pull blocks. However, he lacks knee-bend for drive leverage and plays with disappointing strain/finish in-line. Braun is fairly effective using his size and length to disrupt the rush but twitchy interior rushers and gaming fronts will cause trouble for him. The traits alone should get him drafted but he needs to ramp up the grit level against NFL competition.
