Cruz is a big, burly right tackle prospect with outstanding length but athletic limitations. Cruz isn’t twitchy but he does flash explosive power when he uncorks heavy hands and upper-body power to knock opponents off-balance. Tight hips bring tall pads, which rob him of leverage as a drive blocker at the point. He plays with good slide quickness out to the rush but struggles to redirect against inside moves and his anchor is slightly below average when challenged by a bull rush. His size, power and length could attract teams on Day 3, but sticking long-term will be tough.
