I just find it hard to believe the Browns draft the one guy out of the top-six tackles that is going to have mobility issues his first year in the outside zone scheme.Damn, the last 5 mocks I have seen have all been Becton. That train is really choo'ing:
10. Cleveland Browns: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
The Browns signed right tackle Jack Conklin to a three-year deal in free agency, but there is still a huge need at left tackle. A mountain of a man at 6' 7" and 364 pounds with vines for arms (35 5/8"), the 20-year-old Becton has work to do on technique, but he has unique movement skills for a man his size.
41. Cleveland Browns: Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota
74. Cleveland Browns: Jordyn Brooks, LB, Texas Tech
97. Cleveland Browns (via HOU): Darrell Taylor, EDGE, Tennessee
115. Cleveland Browns: Larrell Murchison, IDL, North Carolina State
and then @jking948 posted that while this post was being made and TOTALLY LIFTED MY TABLE a few inches!
I actually think Becton will eventually be great in a Shanahan-style offense. But his lack of technique combined with his size is going to be a problem in his first year.
