I think you put him at center or guard and he's your starter for a decade.

Yup. He reminds me alot of Zach Martin when he came out. Both had the smaller arms but are athletic and they use their smarts on the field. Lamp won't physically dominate you but he'll beat you with technique and agility. I'd love to try and trade back into the first round for this guy, assuming he drops to around 25. I don't think he'll slip past Seattle.

I'm not as impressed as most with this guy. His run-blocking isn't great IMO. He's quick and smart, which fits the ZBS, but I don't really love any of the OL in this class except the LT from 'bama. Loved the guard from Notre Dame, but he went back to school.

Lamp might not even make it past 20... just too high, sounds good doe

NFL Draft Diamonds‏ @DraftDiamonds

Asked seven scouts to name the best offensive lineman 6 said Forrest Lamp 1 said Cam Robinson

Sam Monson‏Verified account @PFF_Sam

Forrest Lamp allowed 0 sacks, 4 total pressures in 2016. Had 9 perfect games of pass pro. Screw arm length, try him at LT in the NFL

If the 49ers trade down, Lamp is one of my top three favorites to draft. He looks to be a perfect scheme fit and has All-Pro level potential. Put him anywhere on the interior line, there's some who believe that he could even hold up at tackle. He's just that damn good.

I feel similarly about him like I did about Jack Conklin last year. No great physical measurements, the guy just gets it done, plays with a nonstop motor and simply owns better competition like he did against LSU and Alabama.

This guy is a straight up warrior. Had he played at Ohio State, USC or Michigan State we'd be talking about him as a Top 10 pick.

Not an exciting pick in the moment, but the type of player you look back in 10 years and say, "Wow, that was a hell of a pick!!"

Nobody ever complains about having a beastly guard or center. He wouldn't be the sexiest pick but he performed so well this past season that it is kind of ridiculous. His performance against Alabama is some of the best OL footage I think I've ever seen. Dude shutdown numerous top pass rushers and looked perfectly comfortable manning up versus Jonathan Allen and Co.

This about as good of a performance from an offensive lineman that you're going to see.

Can you list the games where you felt Lamp underwhelmed you? Every game I watch of him, I walk away feeling like he was the best olineman on the field in terms of consistency as both a run blocker and pass protector.

The only knock to me on him would have been the consistent level of competition but I thought he showed well for himself against Alabama in 2016 and LSU in 2015. He gave up only 5 pressures total between both games and was consistently​ winning his match ups.

My God is that painful to watch. Well, first, Lamp was a stud in that game - lol at the cut block, lol on driving his guy into the goal post - he's a freakin stud.

But the play callling. wtf.... when you're Defense can't stop the other team, try running the ball? Maybe? And, oh btw, try running left? Wtf? Run right - -2, -6, no gain....run left, 15,TD, 14. And yet I saw way more runs to the right.

Jesus.

Re-watched most of Lamp's games last night. He is the most prepared, solid player in the draft, and can start at all five positions. His footwork is impeccable, and use of hands is brilliant. I love the kid. He is my number three overall player in the draft. Plug and play, day one starter.

I love Lamp

Rumor has it this who Miami hopes is there at their pick (22?)

This guy is going to be a Seahawk, isn't he? Saw Mayock mocked him to go there. My initial reaction to signing Gary Gilliam was that it would indirectly benefit Seattle:

I think this could actually help the Seahawks. They might feel more urgency to grab someone like Forrest Lamp in the first round now.

If the 49ers trade back I'd love to see them draft him and then plug him in at guard or center. Looks like a 10+ year starter in the NFL with All Pro upside.
