Vikings met with Deebo Samuel at the Senior Bowl. Treadwell replacement might look a bit more like Diggs than Treadwell...

Seems no one knows where to put Dalton Risner. Is he a 1st rounder? A 7th rounder? Is he a guard, center or tackle? And is this holding?

I would play him at tackle. He is 6'4.5" 308 with 34 1/4" arms. That is good enough size for a tackle and he has proved that he is able to play right tackle pretty well. The fact that he played center one season only increases his value.
I am not a fan of the idea of moving him inside to guard though. He could do well there or he could not. Now you messed up his development.
If the Vikings take him then it means O'Neill is going to left tackle (IMHO) and Reiff could be moved. Still would need to get a guard though.

Bradbury is a good scheme fit but are they ok moving Elflein to guard? Not a question either of us can answer. The only other question I would have is if they're ok with the majority of the interior line attempting to win with leverage rather than a true anchor. But man would they have the ability to move in the running game.

I'd go the other way and play him along the interior. He can play on the outside but his skillset it better maximized at guard or center. He generates so many stalemates vs. power and doesn't let lineman get a clean release when he can secure his hands. Put him next to O'Neill on the right side and I think those two could move a lot of people.

Personally I think he could be a good tackle, but has the potential to be a great guard or center.

Tytus Howard - T - Hornets

Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline writes that Alabama State T Tytus Howard was "as good as advertised" on Tuesday's Reese's Senior Bowl practice.
Howard measured in at 6-foot-5, 322-pounds on Tuesday, and then went on to have one of the better offensive lineman performances at practice in Pauline's eyes. "Lining up exclusively at right tackle, he looked explosive and athletic and blocked with great fundamentals," he writes. "For the most part, he got the better of the top-rated talent he faced off against including Montez Sweat, Oshane Ximines and Carl Granderson." There are going to be questions about Howard's lack of play against quality opponents, but those questions are going to get a lot of answers this week in Mobile. So far, so good.

I keep going back to the idea that by most accounts Elflein was better at guard than center at OSU, so I think it's a possibility. Drafting Bradbury would answer that question because he's pretty much a center-only. Heard Bradbury struggled with his anchor yesterday against Khalen Saunders...
