I would be strongly in favor of that pick. Not sure he will last too us or not. After blowing up both the Senior Bowl and Combine. Perhaps his very slightly shorter height (but not terrible) will drop him a little. Enough to last to #11. Because if he was 6'6" with the other measurables he would be long gone. Top 5 and maybe top 3. The only reason he can last until us is the height. Because all other measurables and game tape are outstanding. He has everything but the height. Still I think he will be good as a floor and maybe great as a ceiling. He's pretty close to can't miss if he stays healthy. If he couldn't handle Tackle in the NFL (which I think he can) you kick him in to Guard and you got an All Pro for 12 - 15 years.
Quenton Nelson - Notre Dame - Colts - 2018 - 1st round - 6 overall - Guard.
6'5" 330 lbs.
Armand Membu
6'4" 332 lbs. 4.91 40 yard dash.
So even if you can get a Guard of that value or pretty close to similar it's worth that high of a pick. I think he can play Tackle which is even better. Seems to have the feet for it and can mirror and slide will. He's incredibly powerful at the point of attack. He engulfs and buries defenders with his power.
