Some prospects I love, and where I love them.

He has great feet and great hands and he keeps fighting to win the blocks.

I don't worry about his ability to win the edge in the NFL, I worry about his longevity at the position because those high blows to the chest take a significant toll on your back over time. That said, we've seen plenty of similar guys be just fine. Jason Peters, for example. Peters was slightly longer in the arms at 33" but that's still not ideal for a tackle.

That's fair and everything, but you're playing checkers in college.

The guys he's going to be going up against are going to have arm length advantages, they're going to be able to match him in technique, and for at least the first couple years of his rookie contract they're going to have a lot more savvy at countering him. What's worse, is that he may have an athletic disadvantage too.

But I actually don't know either of those things, I'm just guessing. I'd like the Combine to answer them.
