I keep trying to think of an NFL comp for Penei Sewell, but the guys who move like him (like Terron Armstead) are smaller. And the guys closer to his size (like Andrew Whitworth) did not move as well coming out of college.

how does he not go to the bengals at 5,  or now the Phish at 6 since both drafted their franchise QBs last year?  I just dont find the optimism that some have that he will drop into our range  (10-14)

  Anyone here with Photoshop skills that can put a bong in one of his hands and an AR-15 in the other?

However, the difference in quickness and aggression is remarkable IMO.

Watch Darrisaw and then watch Sewell. There's a big difference. Now, I love Darrisaw. He's technically sound, strong, athletic, his reach blocks are a thing of beauty. I will be very happy with a Darrisaw pick.

SPENCER BROWN, OT, NORTHERN IOWAThe tackle class is just peppered with top-flight athletes. Expected first-round names all delivered on their billings: Oregon’s Penei Sewell ran a 4.68s short shuttle and a 5.09 40-yard dash at 330 pounds; Northwestern’s Rashawn Slater ran a 4.88 40-yard dash and cleared the OT arm length benchmark with 33-inch arms; Texas’ Samuel Cosmi delivered elite-tier agilities at a bigger weight (314 pounds) than expected; Alabama’s Alex Leatherwood showed elite explosives.
There are plenty of names we missed (Brady Christensen! Dillon Radunz!), but nobody—and I mean nobody—tested better in this class than Brown. 
A high school tight end with no major school offers, Brown has put on almost 70 pounds of weight at Northern Iowa as he transitioned to offensive line play. He carries it well in a towering 6-foot-8 frame with 34-inch arms, delivering a 4.40s short shuttle, 4.84s 40-yard dash, and stunning sub-7-second three-cone despite his high-cut frame. That is ludicrous movement ability, and it’s reflected on the film.
We haven’t seen Brown take a live snap since 2019, as the FCS 2020 schedule was moved to the spring, when Brown had already performed at the Senior Bowl and entered the NFL Draft cycle. With that said, there’s only so much you need to see of Brown to understand what you’re paying for: an extremely raw, but truly once-in-a-year athlete at a position in which we’re seeing better and better development over the last few years. If you trust your offensive line coach, drafting Brown on Day 2 makes sense as an insurance policy for your aging veteran starter.

I generally don't care for OTs this tall, but this guy is really growing on me. Day 2.

Me too. Those are basketball-like movement skills. Really starting to dig some of the middle round OT and Edge prospects.

We don't know our wife's 'measurables' as well as an OT from Northern Iowa, lol.

 I wouldn't call it optimism. But there is a chance. Rick Spielman once said they ran over 8,000 scenarios in 2013, and not a SINGLE one had Sharrif Floyd dropping to 23. It happens sometimes. With Sewell it happens because of character concerns and the fact that there are 6 prospects (3 WRs, 1 TE and at least 2 CBs) that will be very tempting to teams who might have taken Sewell. Add in one team who likes Slater over Sewell (a very real possibility) and it's not as crazy as you might think. Not likely, but very possible.

Lamp just signed a one year deal with the Bills. Not sure what the hangup was here....but we NEED to pull two starting caliber offensive lineman from this draft.
