NFL scouts gave Alt a 6.49 grade in their draft analysis, meaning they believe he will become a good start within the next two years.
"Long-limbed team captain with NFL-quality tackle play coursing through his veins. Alt plays a disciplined brand of football, avoiding penalties and working with fluid transitions from entry to sustain to finish as a run blocker," NFL analyst Lance Zierlein wrote in his draft overview for Alt.
The 21-year-old prospect was a two-time All-American while playing for the Fighting Irish. His father, John Alt, was a two-time Pro Bowler during his 13-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The two share similar measurables with the elder Alt standing at about 6-foot-8 and weighing 298 pounds during his playing days. The younger Alt is slightly taller at 6-foot-9 and weighs a bit heavier at 321 pounds.
