Quotable
"Grubbs was clearly the highest-rated player. The phone started to ring, but I immediately told everybody we were picking." - Ozzie Newsome, Ravens general manager.
Strengths
Grubbs plays with the kind of toughness and tenacity one would expect from an offensive lineman. He also was athletic enough to play tight end in college and linebacker and fullback in high school.
Weaknesses
Grubbs had a habit at times of having his feet too close together or standing too tall. He showed some inconsistency finishing his blocks.
Projected role
Grubbs likely will compete with incumbent Keydrick Vincent for the starting right guard job.
