Le'Raven Clark (LT Texas Tech)

Le'Raven Clark

6'5", 36 1/8" Arm Length, 316LBS, 11 7/8" Hands

I know people aren't really considering OTs in the top rounds and given our history, it's likely we won't take one but man, this guy is a monster. 12" hands and 36+ arms?

Clark started 51 straight games for the Red Raiders, spending his final three years at left tackle and his freshman season at right guard. All three years at left tackle, he earned All-Big 12 honors, and as a senior he was named a second-team All-American for his efforts. It's unclear where Clark's best position will be at the next level; he flashes the lateral agility and recovery speed to play on the edge against college pass rushers, so he should get a shot at left tackle. Its possible, though, that Clark might be best inside where he can lock on and create creases for the running game. His durability, pro-ready body (6-6, 313), and next-level tenacity make him a likely NFL starter wherever he lines up.

"He's going to end up being big time in our league. He's got elite foot quickness, he's long and he's smart. He'll keep getting better once he gets to a pro offense and away from that stuff Texas Tech does and he'll become one of the top five tackles in our league." -- NFC personnel director

Anyone take a liking to this prospect? It's a long shot he winds up here but if we want a future LT, he fits the mold.

Clark and Spriggs are my two favorite realistic options at OT for us in the draft.

For sure.  It seems most years, OL's measurables are looked at so intently and there's always an area for pause but Clark checks off on all fronts it seems.  When he played Ogbah it was basically a draw and has gone against top competition his collegiate career.  Given our unpredictability, watch us end up taking a tackle high to many people's dismay haha.

Dismay?  If there's an LT with the talent to justify the pick I'd think most here would be ecstatic that we got him at the end of the first.  We lost the SB because our tackles couldn't hold up and our receivers couldn't get open quickly or consistently enough to cover up for our line problems.

The "dismay" line was somewhat of a generalization. There's a crowd that tends to annually shut down the idea of a tackle early; which in fairness, many top tackles have been busting lately.  

Clark is in the same area that I view Neal (S), Bullard (DE/DT), Ogbah (DE), Doctson (WR), Will Jackson III (CB)

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
