One thing to know about Jalen Farmer

Although Farmer didn't play any in-game snaps at tackle at the college level, GM Chris Ballard believes he has the skill set to play there in the NFL.

What draft experts had to say

"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." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
