That just looks like just a long winded way to say he's raw. Nothing about his size or athletic ability. I assume that's why Vrabel worked with him, not to necessarily teach him anything, just to see how well he takes coaching and ability to learn. If Moses stays healthy, they could basically red shirt him his first season. I know that's a big if at Moses' age.Not good enough run blocker for LT, imo. Max has a lot to learn to become an accomplished NFL tackle. He only began football in college. But there's a lot to work with if he wants
to do the work to learn the position. Vrabel worked with him on how to use his hands more effectively. Hand usage, grabbing and holding on, is one of his biggest weaknesses. The NFL isn't soccer or bumper cars.

His hand timing is still catching up to the rest of his tools; the initial punch lands late or wide too often, which lets quicker defenders into his chest and draws holding flags (16 penalties in three seasons).
Recognition against stunts and twists remains a real liability, as he can get caught flat-footed when defensive fronts start gaming and shifting responsibilities mid-play.
Run blocking grade lagged well behind his pass protection marks; pad level stays too high on drive blocks, sapping the leg drive needed to move bodies at the point of attack.
Tends to overset against speed rushers to protect the outside, which opens a lane for the inside counter move that NFL edge defenders will exploit relentlessly.
Second-level sustain is inconsistent: he can climb to linebackers well enough, but too often he shoves and disconnects rather than locking on and finishing through the whistle.

I don't think that we have to reach (I've never liked that term when choosing players) for any player at any position.IDK but we should be able to get a very good player at a position of need. Hopefully and OT or EDGE guy. OT Lomu would be great or ED Mesidor or ED Howell.
Vrabel has a mold when it comes to the EDGE position. In Tennessee, his average outside linebacker stood 6-foot-3 and weighed 254 pounds.
That player had the following average Combine testing numbers:
4.76 40-yard dash,
6.93 3-cone,
4.23 shuttle,
34-inch vertical,
9-foot-9-inch broad jump and
22 reps on the bench press.
Lazar's favorite EDGE guys for the Pats.
-------------Lazar's EDGE Tiers: Ranking the Top 15 Edge Rushers in the 2026 NFL Draft
New England's top brass has identified edge rusher as a position of need. Who are the best fits for the Patriots in this year's draft?
After going over the list of top 200 prospects, I noted THR doesn't like the TEs in this class very much and seems to like the WRs a little more than most.
Maybe. I like McDonald for the role that I had described in the late first to top 10 second.
I just listened to Steve Palozzolo’s (sp) mock and when discussing the Bills he mentioned that they should take LB Rodriquez to replace Milano, but then changed over to DT McDonald to the Bills.
