Hinton looks like the kind of tackle prospect coaches want to keep developing: he has rare bulk, long-lever potential and a Michigan background that gives him a foundation in physical line play. His path in Cincinnati is patience. Behind Orlando Brown Jr. and Amarius Mims, he needs to use every practice rep to clean up his feet and keep rushers from getting him turned at the edge.
Strengths: Exceptional 6-foot-6, 342-pound frame, natural length, power potential and experience in a physical college program.
Weaknesses: Still needs more game-tested pass-set consistency, quicker recovery against speed and a clearer path to offensive snaps behind veteran tackles.
