Cardinals GM Steve Keim mentioned second-year RT Bobby Massie as a player he thinks is poised for a "break out" 2013 season.
Massie started all 16 games as a rookie fourth-round pick out of Ole Miss, and he was welcomed to the NFL rudely early on. He gave up a whopping six sacks to Cam Wake and the Dolphins in Week 4. Massie improved his play dramatically after the Week 10 bye, and was arguably the team's best lineman in the second half. Apr 12 - 7:27 PM

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

New Cardinals coach Bruce Arians plans to have as many as four assistants focusing on the offensive line.

It's a stark departure from former coach Ken Whisenhunt, who never hired an assistant for OL coach Russ Grimm. According to the Arizona Republic, that was an even bigger problem than it was on its face because Grimm wasn't overly interested in developing young talent, instead preferring to work with veterans. The Cardinals' terrible line went a long way toward submarining each of the past three seasons, but Arians appears to have the proper urgency when it comes to addressing it.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

According to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, Cardinals rookie RT Bobby Massie "has not looked ready for a primetime role" based on preseason games and training camp practices.

The Cardinals' coaching staff wanted Massie to win the starting right tackle job, "but not this way" -- due to injuries. Had Levi Brown stayed healthy, he'd be starting on the left side with D'Anthony Batiste on the right. As it stands currently, Batiste is the left tackle with Massie on the right. The top backup, or "swing tackle" behind both is sixth-round rookie Nate Potter.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

Fourth-round pick Bobby Massie has been promoted into the Cardinals' starting lineup at right tackle.

29-year-old journeyman D'Anthony Batiste, who has four career starts and none since 2007, is the starting left tackle. Massie was viewed as a raw project coming out of Ole Miss, but he's the desperate Cardinals' best option. Expect John Skelton and/or Kevin Kolb to receive shoddy pass protection all year long.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

There's a feeling that Cardinals coaches would like fourth-round rookie Bobby Massie to win the right tackle job in camp.

Jeremy Bridges ran with the starters during offseason workouts, but Massie has significantly more upside at 6'6/316. Ideally, Bridges would serve as the swing tackle, also backing up the underwhelming Levi Brown on the left side.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

Although fourth-round RT Bobby Massie is working with the second team behind Jeremy Bridges, coach Ken Whisenhunt is "looking forward to seeing him compete for that spot."

Whiz is eager to see Massie improve his technique and pick up defenses, but is impressed with the rookie's athleticism. "His pass sets have been very good," said Whisenhunt. "I'll tell you what, he looks the part. Big guy, good movement."

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

Sources close to the team tell NFLDraftScout.com's Rob Rang that the Cardinals will give fourth-rounder Bobby Massie "every opportunity" to win the starting right tackle job.

Massie was widely-ranked as a second-round talent heading into the draft, and he has the size and experience against top college competition to catch on quickly. Rang's sources suggest Massie fell in the draft not due to talent, but rather to questions about work ethic after showing little in the way of technical improvement at Ole Miss. Massie will only have to beat out the underwhelming pair of Jeremy Bridges and D'Anthony Batiste to win the job in training camp.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

Cardinals agreed to terms with fourth-round OT Bobby Massie on a four-year contract.

Massie is the first Cardinals' draft pick to sign. Long and lean at 6-foot-6, 316 pounds, Massie has left-tackle size, but will compete with Jeremy Bridges to be the Cardinals' right tackle. Massie played exclusively right tackle at Ole Miss, but if he bulks up, he could eventually be viewed as an option on the blindside.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

VP of player personnel Steve Keim confirmed that the Cardinals envision fourth-round rookie Bobby Massie as a right tackle.

Massie has left tackle length, but was a right tackle at Ole Miss and will battle Jeremy Bridges to start there in Arizona. "He certainly has the mobility and the movement skills that rival many of the offensive tackles that I've seen play on the left side," Keim said. "So I certainly wouldn't count it out, but I think to bring him in right away, he's the prototypical right tackle."

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

The Arizona Republic expects fourth-round pick OT Bobby Massie to push Jeremy Bridges for the Cardinals' starting right tackle job.

Massie was considered a first-round sleeper by SI's Tony Pauline, but likely fell over concerns about his strength and fluidity. He played exclusively right tackle at Ole Miss, and should be given every opportunity to beat out Bridges, who's started more than five games just once since 2007.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

Cardinals selected Ole Miss OT Bobby Massie with the No. 112 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

Considered a first-round sleeper by SI's Tony Pauline, Massie falls into the lap of a team with major questions at tackle. A mammoth 6-foot-6, 316 pounds, Massie has left tackle length with 35-inch arms. He currently lacks NFL strength, however, and has been criticized as stiff-bodied. Nevertheless, Massie is a high-upside pick for a club that hopes to one day rid itself of LT Levi Brown.

According to SI.com draft analyst Tony Pauline, Ole Miss OT Bobby Massie is a sleeper to be drafted late in the first round.

Pauline cites Massie's impressive Pro Day, at which he measured 6-foot-5 3/4 and 314 pounds and "awed onlookers" in drill work. On his blog, Pauline recently wrote that Massie is on the Browns' radar at the top of the second round. The Giants and Steelers could also give Massie a look late in the first.

Bobby Massie - T - Cardinals

Ole Miss OT Bobby Massie measured 6-foot-6 1/8 and 316 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Massie has left tackle length with 35-inch arms. A right tackle at Ole Miss brimming with untapped potential, Massie turned in a strong all-around Saturday performance with a 5.23 forty and 27.5-inch vertical. He managed just 22 reps on the bench, although that's forgivable considering his long arms and rawness. Massie projects as a high-upside second- or third-round pick.
