The left tackle completed a fine three-year career as a starter in a run and shoot offense. Chustz has developed nicely as a pass protector playing in the wide-open passing game, directed by quarterback Tim Rattay. He is a tall tackle with a huge wingspan, which he has learned to use well, forcing pass rushers to take a wide rush. He gained extensive experience in pass protection in an offense that has thrown over 1,500 times during his career. He understands positioning and angles and combines that with his massive size to stay between the rusher and his passer. He starts with a crouched two-point stance, which allows him to gain sound positioning quickly to battle the outside rush. He has good functional strength that, when combined with his sturdy base, has allowed him to stop bull rushers in their tracks.

He will have to go through an adjustment to the three- point stance in the pro ranks. He'll also need to improve his footwork and adjust some of his techniques. He is not a natural knee bender and is a limited athlete from a standpoint of footwork or explosiveness. He can mirror a pass rusher with the ability to slide outside but he can struggle readjusting to counter moves, to the inside.

He blocks high in run support and needs definite work on his technique and footwork.

Although he lacks the athleticism to excel at left tackle as a pro, his skills dictate that he is better suited for the right side. Interesting project at either tackle or guard, though he warrants only a late grade. Quality late pick with the tools to start in time with some upside.
