I just watched at a short highlight vid of his.  He doesn't move like any good Tackle I've seen before.  He handled his business, but I don't think the competition in his highlight reel was NFL caliber.  I feel like a top 15 or 20 NFL DE/Edge would abuse him off the little bit I watched but I understand watching 2 minutes of some guy playing might lead to some unfair and ill-informed evaluations such as mine..  I would say no at 48 based on that and based on a number of other guys that should be there at that pick.  RAS is a small part of the equation, the biggest part is the eye test for me.  What do you think after having watched him?

I havent watched him, just the few highlights i saw.  I like big tackles and he does have the size though.  I read he gave up no sacks this past year and was a team captain the last couple years.  

Agreed on the ras, its just part of it that I like to look at.  I like to get a player that has the production as well as being a good athlete.

He might be best sitting a year instead of starting day 1 which if he did come here he could do unless injuries forced him into action.  I dont think I would take him at 48 because i still think there will be some very good players there but if he fell to the 3rd Baalke might want to consider it.   Not sure if he makes it to the 3rd with his size, experience and athleticism though
