Goncalves did one of the hardest things an NFL lineman can do: move inside after living at tackle and start every game. The transition showed in some hurried reps, but so did the upside. With a full year of guard tape and a stronger frame, he is well positioned to make a noticeable second-year jump there.
Strengths: Size, tackle-derived length, durability and proven positional adaptability. He has logged a heavy starting workload and has deliberately added strength and technique work to suit life inside.
Weaknesses: He is still refining guard-specific footwork and can overset or play too fast, traits the team itself noted. Internal competition means he must turn development into more consistent leverage and pass-protection finish.
