The Arizona Cardinals could be drafting an offensive tackle in the first round or perhaps in the second round. If they select one with the eighth overall pick, they will be getting one of the top-rated tackles in the draft.
NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah spoke about four of the top tackle prospects in his recent conference call with the media.
What did he say about each of them?
Louisville OT Mekhi Becton
“To me, Mekhi Becton is a freak, from Louisville, an absolute freak,” said Jeremiah. “He’s a left tackle. He’s a better version of Bryant McKinnie. He’s going to be that guy for the next 10 to 12 years to protect your franchise quarterback. He’s so big, so long, so athletic, even when he is not perfect, it doesn’t matter because nobody can get through him. He’s 6’7”, 370 pounds.
“You just don’t see guys like that come around very often.”
