Kelvin Banks at #12?

[Texas_Pete]

Schotty wants the Cowboys to run the ball. If Kelvin Banks (UT LT) falls, do you take him at #12?

Scenario:

LT Banks
LG Smith
C Beebe
RG Robert Jones (?)
RT Guyton

Eagles front 7 still scares me. Get Terrence Steele outta there. I'm just saying.

Absolutely not. He's a fringe 1st rounder at best and most likely an OG in the NFL. And we'll never get where we need to be if we keep throwing all our 1st rounders at OL's.

The Georgia boys destroyed him both times. No thanks……

 

[reddyuta]

no,i saw him get beat too many time and he needs to move inside to guard.

I thought I was the only one.

He looked soft to me.

 

[Teague31]

IMO he is a guard at the next level. If we are talking OT, Josh Simmons is light years better

Not soft, more like a guy w/ limited athleticism trying to play OLT. His length limitations often saw him going to the ground, which is what you observed. It wasn't from being soft, it was from trying to overcome his limitations.

He's actually a brawler w/ a means streak. He'd be a great 3rd round pick.

As are Connerly and Campbell.

He’s always been my worst case scenario. Not a fan of him at OT.

I wouldn't be opposed to this.

Agree on Campbell for sure just not sure he will make it to 12

3 year starter at LT in the SEC, 2 sacks allowed in his last 1000+ snaps and a 90+ overall grade.

I don’t love OL in the first again but if he’s clear cut BPA wouldn’t hate it if we think he can stick at LT.

I think they view him as a guard

Maybe - but for guys like him and Campbell I’m going to have to see them fail at LT before kicking them inside.

The Georgia boys destroyed him both times. No thanks……

They had a few good rushes but he also completely stonewalled them several times.

The sacks were in large part on the QB and Ewers having absolutely horrific pocket presence.

 

[Hardline]

Other than Georgia he dominated everyone that lined up against him. There's a reason many mocks have him in the top 10 or a little higher. He would be a day one plug and play starter.

 

[Doomsday]

I would consider Armand Membou at 12 not Banks

 

[Hardline]

I would consider Armand Membou at 12 not Banks

Membou most likely goes before 12

Nope.

No way would he be clear cut BPA. Not that there is such a thing.

BPA takes for granted that prospects are easily graded and separated. They are not.
