Anyhow, he played LT at Boise State but Minnesota stuck him at LG where he's a bit underpowered. He's 6'6" 311, 4.93 40, 4.46 shuttle, 7.26 3-cone, 30 reps, 30" vert.
Outside of vertical, those numbers trump Freeland who everyone is ooohing over at this year's event. His closest athletic comp is Garett Bolles according to mockdraftable.
It's one of those ideas that I think it's worth looking at. He's young, 2 years left on his rookie deal. I'm not basing a complete draft prognostication on it but I think I like this more than signing Dillard or the like.
I really don't know that Veach goes balls deep for a LT trade in round 1. He's never really gone all-in on a guy yet. He's shown he'll move but it's not a thing where he's giving up a future 1's and such.

I don't think we go all in either. Even though we have a lot of picks, we need to value or day one and day two picks. A bunch of picks late on day three don't really do much for the trade up scene.
Erza looks like an interesting option by those numbers. Arm length is only 33 3/8 though.
