Hopefully he stays healthy the whole year.....There should be a pancake cam
If he can block speed rushers off the edge on passing downs well he's a no brainer top pic. That's what I think he'll be trying to improve at. If he can be above average at that with the potential to improve I don't see how he wouldn't be a top 5 pick. Just depends on the needs of the team picking up there.

There is no team picking in the top 10 in the draft that doesn't need help on the O-line.
Impressive list to be #1 on.
P.S. Even more impressive when you consider the author's bio. Maybe he was just trying to stir things up in Alabama.

That's a pretty broad statement. It's also not always true.
According to Football Outsiders, several of the teams picking in the top 10 of this year's draft had OL's that ranked among the top half of the NFL. Minnesota, Houston, Buffalo, Detroit and St. Louis all ranked among the top 16 offensive lines in the run game and/or pass protection last season.
Just a couple years ago, there was only one OL taken in the first 16 picks of the draft (#9). It's not always as simple as "we need help on the OL." That's true for a lot of the teams picking early in most years, but most of those teams have just as dire needs at other positions, too (usually on the other side of the ball or under center).

You talk about the least likely guy to have this go to his head...it would be Brandon Scherff. He could have gone the first round...he stayed in college because he wanted to and because he wanted to keep improving. He's got his head on straight and he also knows every talking head will be following him every play on Saturdays...they will have a camera on him most of the game...I think he's going to be prepared and he was one of the top 5 linemen last year...He's special.

It always sounds funny, but it's a legitimate concern when it comes to evaluating offensive lineman. If you've got short arms, the defender across from you can get up into more easily and cause you to lose leverage. It's hardly a be-all, end-all, but it's definitely an important factor.
