Yup, he's a stud.  He's only been playing LT for two seasons.  Traditionally he's been a G. He's given up a few sacks, but he talent is undeniable. I think he'll slip as a tackle unless someone drafts him as a G.  I hope so, because his arrow is only pointing up and with more coaching and more reps at LT, I think he's going to be a franchise LT.

I didn’t realize he was a potential LT, thought he was a stud guard. Interesting.

I don't have PFF to see how he's grading out and his stats for this season thus far.  As a team, State is giving up just under 2 sacks a games, but I can't find a source (for free) where I can get the breakdown of that info by player.  My most liked scouting/daft site has him as the #2 LG prospect and ranked in the mid-twenties range right now.  Hopefully, about where we should realistically be picking in the draft.  Maybe Christensen will be the real deal at LT and we can draft this dude to solidify Darnold's blindside for years to come.

Hopefully the franchise LT of his hometown team

I think he is a g. He is average as a T, but most experts see him as a G--so we shall see.  Either way, we have multiple needs and if we took him, I would start him off at LT.

Do you have access to PFF to see his blocking grades so far this season?  Most college team sites don't give out the "highlights" in a player's bio until the season is over.  I know it's PFF, but it's still some sort of metrics to see how he's playing this season.

Tackle: Ikem Ekwonu, NC State

The Wolfpack's left tackle hasn't allowed a sack in 371 snaps through five games. Even more impressive, he has zero blown blocks on 152 run-play snaps and just three blown blocks all season. A two-time ACC offensive lineman of the week this season, Ekwonu had a career-high 11 pancake blocks against Louisiana Tech and eight more against Clemso

That's what I'm talking about!  I hope scouts still will view him as a 'tweener G/T.  It may cause him to drop some so we can draft him.

His future is probably an elite OG that can slide to OT. I think most scouts see him as an OG and not an OT. 

I would love to have him in Charlotte. Really, really nasty disposition. Something we haven't seen since Norwell.

    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
    • I loved jStew but let’s not forget he was almost always held out from practice  due to some nagging injuries
