Draft Result Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2nd round with the #7 pick.
Some will criticize this pick because they already drafted Eugene Monroe but Jacksonville needed two tackles and got them in this draft. Eben Britton will make a great compliment on the other side to Eugene Monroe.

Strengths A two year starter for the rebuilding Arizona Wildcats. Britton has outstanding footwork and uses his body well to stay between himself and the quarterback. Perfect body type to play left tackle for the next ten years. Could pass Michael Oher as the number four tackle.

Weaknesses Not a great athlete and may be a better right tackle than left tackle. Still young and bit raw. Can get lazy sometimes and rely too much on size. Must become more dominant as a run blocker.
