Despite being a three-year starter at left tackle for the Wolfpack, Belton projects as a right tackle in the NFL. His footwork is a little clunky at times, but he can overwhelm defenders when his technique is right. (ESPN)

Sports Illustrated – 91st

The 6′ 6″, 336-pound Belton played left tackle at North Carolina State but will need to transition to the right side in the NFL. He has 34-inch arms and is powerful enough to put defenders on the ground in the run game—he hunts pancakes. But Belton’s punch timing and initial placement is sporadic, allowing defensive ends to push him back and re set the line of scrimmage. He’s not quick-footed in pass protection and struggles to mirror counter moves. Belton needs grooming with his hand usage and footwork, but he has the size and physicality to intrigue offensive line coaches. (SI)

Massive frame at 6-foot-6, 336 pounds and an 84-inch wingspan. A road-grader in the running game, Belton uses his size and athleticism to bully defenders in various run schemes. He was a reliable starter for gap and zone schemes. He needs to improve his hand usage in pass protection, but has the potential to be a long-term starter. (USAToday)
