Damn, Polynesians!

Monster of a man but not so good

QuoteBOTTOM LINE Vaitai has been a full-time starter over the last two seasons for a successful TCU squad, but doesn’t have the plus athleticism to play left tackle or the hand strength and core power to start on the right side. Despite decent technique and football intelligence, may be too lacking in physical qualities to make the NFL leap.

The google says the average offensive lineman is 6'5, 310.

Mayock had him going to the Eagles but in the third or fourth round.

Look test:

He's Tongan so he'll be 350+ in a month.  Some coconut milk, taro, sweet potatoes, yams, pork, horse meat, does wonders.

Philadelphia Eagles: Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OT/G, TCU  C+ Grade   

Jason Peters won't be on the Eagles much longer, and when he departs, Lane Johnson will slide over to the blind side. With Johnson moving, a new right tackle will be needed, and Halapoulivaati Vaitai has enough potential to perhaps win the job. However, Vaitai's pass-protection skills can be called into question, as he's pretty slow. Perhaps the Eagles will be able to develop him, but they probably should've obtained him a round later.

Unsung hero of the season and playoffs

Held down Foles blindside against some excellent edge rushers and did it with out much help.

He deserves a big shout out.  When Peters went down for good it was white flag time.  I feared for Wentz's life.  He got better and better every week.  Even Collinsworth praised him.  Big V baby!

I mean, Wentz didn't suffer a season ending injury while Peters was out there.
