00:00All right, Wolchek, I'm going to challenge you a little bit here.
00:18This is from Pro Football Focus, and they've got the strengths and weaknesses for the top
00:26offensive tackles in this draft.
00:29Okay, so tackles specifically.
00:31Yeah, tackles specifically.
00:33And the problem I'm having with this right now is I'm scared to death of a lot of these
00:38guys.
00:39But I know that potentially Dallas could be looking at this spot, right?
00:44I mean, we could be looking at one of these guys.
00:46They could be.
00:47They could be.
00:48I mean, they're definitely, I would think, going to need a guard if Zach Martin's not
00:52back.
00:53Okay.
00:54But yeah, you could be looking at a tackle.
00:55Yeah, okay.
00:56Or maybe we move one of these tackles.
00:57Maybe you move a tackle.
00:58Okay, they went through like five offensive tackles.
01:03Okay, their offensive tackle one is Will Campbell from LSU.
01:09Okay, now, I'll go through the weakness.
01:13Let me just go through the weakness of that, of the player, okay?
01:17And you tell me if they've got this guy right, all right?
01:20Because I've got my thoughts about him, too.
01:22But I want to talk about his weakness.
01:26Higher pre-snap stance leads to high pad level when engaging.
01:32Arm length could be shorter than his 6'6 frame suggests.
01:37Has some lack of flexibility in his body to stretch his kick and protect the outside shoulder.
01:46That sound like Will Campbell to you a little bit?
01:48Yeah, because I have in my notes, poor hand placement can be a problem, will get his hands
01:52caught outside at times.
01:54All the time, it seems like.
01:57And yes, he can be a little late with his backpedal.
01:59I have that note in there, too.
02:01And I absolutely hate his stance.
02:03That two-point stance.
02:04I hate it.
02:05Yeah.
02:06He just stands upright.
02:09But still, are the other things positive about him?
02:13First-round player under board?
02:15Really strong.
02:16Yeah, I mean, I think he's got a good pace.
02:18He's good against speed rushers.
02:21I think he's another guy that I would look to maybe kick inside the guard, though.
02:24I think you're right about that.
