Buyer Beware: Will Campbell

It's not so much Campbell's arm length that concerns me, or should I say that it's not the only concern. The part that gets less attention is that he's an average mover. He could overcome short arms if he was a Rashawn Slater type athlete, but he's just not there. And the combo of the two becomes a real problem when DEs take him out to "deep water" on the edge, especially when they get him wide and hit him with a bull rush.

Campbell's an excellent guard prospect IMO. He's strong, has great technique, and looks pretty good at climbing up to hit LBs on run plays. I think he's a 10-year starter inside. But the deeper into space he goes, the worse he gets.

I'd happily draft him in the teens as a guard. But if he gets drafted in the 5-10 range and asked to start at LT, some team's not going to end up very happy with their pick.
Even at guard he'd be elite, and worthy of being taken top 15. Not concerned.
 
Bizarre take: "He scares me to death.....He has really good tape....He's a really good football player.... He has 1st round tape...He scares me"

In between acting afraid like a little girl, he stops every so often to tell us this is a good football player.

He's the first person I've heard say that he will be moved to G, he won't be. And how is being 6'6 a concern for a guard even at that? Half the guards in the league are that size. KC just franchised 6'6 Trey Smith.

This is a guy trying to create drama where none exists.

Half the Gs in the league are not 6'6" and for a reason.
