It's nice if they do, but they need to be pass blockers first and foremost, and Ikem is not that. He's just an average pass blocker.

He could play guard and be dominant. He could be our Quinton Nelson.

Maybe not Nelson, but he would be a very, very good OG. I would have no objections to taking him, if we traded down a bit. I'd immediately install him as the starting LG.

Taking that over an already very good pass blocking OT like Cross would be silly.

There is a big disparity between Cross' pass blocking and his run blocking. I can see him selected as the #4 OT in this class after Ekwonu (depending on his measurements,) Neal and Penning.
