Summary
Strengths
Three year starter at left guard
Sturdy build that is very hard for defenders to work through with power
Generates easy movement when drive blocking, initial strike off the snap is a heavyweight blow
Keeps his thick legs humming when his upper half is engaged
Plays calm and controlled in pass pro
Incredibly detailed and obsessive preparation throughout game week
Weaknesses
Mediocre foot speed and agility that might not mesh well with outside zone heavy teams
Final Report
Vega Ioane is a reliable, pro ready guard with thickness and strength to handle NFL defensive lineman. He rarely surrenders any pressure, remaining calm in pass protection and displaying high end anchor strength. Ioane has the power to move defenders off the line of scrimmage and create rush lanes, but doesn't possess the initial quickness to thrive in a zone heavy scheme. Overall, his reliability, preparation and traits make him a high floor first round pick.
