The NFL Draft continues to be about six weeks away, however as of now, who’s your favourite first-round prospect?
My private favourite is Armand Membou, the offensive sort out from Missouri.
Will Campbell out of LSU is actually engaging as properly, and he could also be a greater slot in Jacksonville on account of his positional versatility and soccer character. Nevertheless it’s not like Membou doesn’t possess both of these intangibles, and whereas he has extra technical work to scrub up than Campbell, his athletic profile suggests a a lot larger ceiling.
Ultimately week’s NFL Mix, Membou weighed in at 332 kilos and recorded a 4.91-second 40-yard sprint, a 34-inch vertical soar, a 9’ 7” broad soar, and 31 reps on the bench press. These are elite numbers, as evidenced by Subsequent Gen Stats giving him a 94 Athleticism Grade — eighth greatest amongst all mix members, first amongst all offensive sort out members.
Membou’s tape at Missouri (in opposition to SEC competitors, thoughts you) showcased a easy blocker with the poise of a 10-year NFL veteran. Now that he’s crushed the mix, anticipate him to be drafted inside the first 10 picks of this 12 months’s draft.
I do know, I do know — the Jaguars have already got Walker Little and Anton Harrison below contract for a number of seasons as starting-caliber offensive tackles. However we don’t but know what Jacksonville’s new administration thinks of the duo, and Membou’s expertise could be arduous to go on regardless.
