Is he better than Cross, though?

IDK, I am just learning about the prospects. Not really trying hard again this year. His stuff from the senior bowl was solid with a lot of upside as a LT and looked ok at RG. Played mean and it stood out every snap.

Penning would be fine honestly. I wouldn't take him over Cross though :x

[Aussie Tank]

Cross will be a stud this would upset me more than taking any other position in the class

Oh my God if they take a player from Northern Iowa in the first round that should just about do it 

Well we did take a guy named Vernon Butler from La Tech and I’m still not over it

Got to love that guard/tackle flexibility.

His arms are too long to be a guard and his astrological symbol isn't fit for a Tackle, but he is left handed.

Yeah another player who is in the trenches from a scrub, light weight school that was a colossal first round bust. One of the worst picks ever for the panthers

I don’t see him at 6 but agree he’d probably start for us

Having the choice of Ekwonu or Cross at 6 would be amazing.

What would be more amazing would be having it fall that way and then we pick some undersized guy from Northeast Southwestern Louisiana Tech State who played G, C, MLB, but most importantly, he can kick.

[BlitzMonster]

If the team is going to reach for an LT at #6 (which isn't THAT bad of an idea) I'd go with Bernhard Raimann from Central Michigan.  The guy is a house at 6-7 and is getting better and better at LT after only 2 years playing the position.  The upside is definitely there.  

But I'd only take him if all of Cross  / Neal  /  Ekwonu  were already gone.   Any of those three would supersede Raimann.  

Also I think Cross is actually the best pass protector of the entire bunch.  So I'd be thrilled if he dropped to us.

Agreed. Cross has way more upside.

LOL. Where you played matters way less than your abilities. By that logic, Howell is undraftable because UNC has never had a successful QB.

Non-P5 OL are less common in the first round(true for all positions) but that's because there is a big talent disparity in the average P5 player and the average non-P5. As a group that makes sense, but you don't grade prospects as a group.

Is Patrick Mahomes a bad QB? Because prior to him Texas Tech QB's were regarded as gimmick guys that piled up stats in a one read offense. However he is/was otherworldly talented. 

There are plenty of small school players in the HOF, including our recently inducted Sam Mills. 

Would I take Penning at 6? Probably not. Would I be upset if we had him on on our roster. Absolutely not.

You don’t draft OL from no name colleges who don’t play anyone competitive  in the first round. 

A very good point.  We are talking rule and tepper in the draft room.
