First Whittle:
Positives: Whittle is a versatile veteran who has good size and starting experience. He can play every position on the line. He is smart and instinctive. He knows how to use angles to get position and wall off. He plays with good balance and leverage, and he routinely makes contact. He is effective on traps, pulls and second-level blocks, and he rarely lunges and winds up on the ground. He is a better pass protector than he is a run blocker. He moves well and can adjust and redirect in protection.
Negatives: But Whittle lacks ideal lower-body strength and power. He won't move defenders out of the hole. He has trouble holding up at the point of attack against big two-gap bull rushers. He doesn't fare well in a lot of short-area fistfights.
