ERIC EDHOLM: Time now to talk about Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, one of the largest draft prospects we've seen in years. 6 foot 7, 369 pounds. And for the upside, he uses that weight extremely well. A rare, gifted athlete for a man that size. Great athletic ability. Long arm versus the pancake defenders. Could play left tackle. Could play right tackle.
On the downside, however, I feel like his technique needs a little bit of refinement. A little too raw. And that weight could get out of control if he's not careful. For an NFL comp, reminds me of guys like Cordy Glenn and Trent Brown, two massive movers who have great feet. Becton spoke with Yahoo! Sports at the NFL Combine about the defender he most wants to face in the NFL.
MEKHI BECTON: I would say JJ Watt. That's who I'm looking forward to going against to, because he the best in the league. You got to go against the best to be the best.
