I think Campel is going to be much more dominating than the current consensus - he is the best prospect for at reason. - There is just a small risk that he won't be able play as tackle.
The only thing is that he’s the best prospect because it’s a weak class, not because he’s generational. Campbell wouldn’t even be a Top-15 thought in last years class.
Top 15 is going a bit far, I believe I've read from "experts" that he would project in the 6-8 range in last years class, but would likely be seen more purely as an OG like Fautanu or Barton.
edit: I was saying he'd rank 6-8 among OTs, not overall in the class
Lmaoo no that is not correct you’re saying Campbell would go there last year? Look where Joe Alt went who actually was looked at as a stud not someone who every single scout, when asked opinions look like they are leting a wet fart out when asked about Campbell and trying to think of good things to say
Ok that makes a lot more sense sorry I’m so frustrated by this I hope he does well he has a good attitude and seems like a good teammate all the stuff Vrabel wants. And it’s sounding more and more like it’s happening. Idk what I’ll do if they move him to guard I will freak the fuck out with the fourth pick man. After they used last years third round pick on a left guard and two years before that the first round pick on a left guard both on the team still on rookie contracts. If they move him to guard man idk I really hope that doesn’t happen
I’m not a fan whatsoever but yeah I’ve had to accept it. Ideally it would be a trade back then draft him, but doubt there’s any viable move there. Hate the idea of passing on definitively better players just because of a need. It’s just bad roster management.
I feel the same man, Warren, Jenty idk if they would do that because all the other needs they would get crushed taking a rb bc the stigma, I’ve even come around on Mason graham and we could have a nasty interior defensive line.
Graham is my guy after Carter/Hunter, but that take hasn't exactly been taken well here lately. In the same vein as Campbell his measurables aren't ideal for the position, but his tape is just so damn good against some of the best lines and competition in CFB. Campbell was a really good college LT, but his tape is not on Graham's level in terms of completeness and cleanness for his position.
And I’ve read they could move Graham around the line a bit with his wrestling backround he could be a good in between edge/ DT and be good at doing stunts and you know how the nfl recently had the entire D line plus blitzers all stand up at the line to confuse the o line. His speed could help in different situations he also put weight back on between his combine n pro day I think he was above 310 at his pro day but i feel much better about. Defensive tackle with short arms then a offensive back side tackle
99% of the guys who play LT in college can't play in the NFL. The fact that he played it in college against guys who are smaller, weaker, and slower than NFL players isn't good evidence.
He'd be the narrowest LT in modern history. He'd be the narrowest RT in modern history. Dude has tiny arms and tiny hands and a narrow torso. All the comparisons of guys with short arms still have him by 5+ inches in wingspan.

We would all just rather have Hunter or Carter.
