Bernhard Raimann Left Tackle Highlights - YouTube

Plays too high, tends to flip his hips when he shouldn't. Most "good" plays are merely due to him being bigger than his opponent.

I looked a little extra on the switch as you suggested, telling example of shoddy footwork.

Starting drop back is decent but he plays quite high and has a base that is narrower than it could be.

When the DE attacks he commits a grave error by dropping his inside foot. This opens up the inside completely for the rusher.

Here you can see the DE's foot further to the inside than the LT's which means that essentially he is beat.

Now in this clip the DE doesn't finish the job and the LT can use his size advantage. An NFL DE in that situation will take his lunch money and just crush the QB.

Im quite surprised a play like that makes it on to a highlight video.

The quick exchange he makes in the LSU game is not something you see in a typical college linemen, it's very quick, NFL quick...

Bernhard looks like a legit Day 2 selection.

If he has a lights out Pro Day, subsequent combine he could get a serious look at the tail end of Round 1.

Believe that's the right-on assessment; that's why wouldn't mind seeing the Saints move back if there's a QB they like that's likely gone before they pick...

We picked up Ramczyk at the end of Round 1, perfect slot to take a right tackle who looks to have an elite ceiling, but can start right away for us...

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: Draft Prospects, Scouting

I haven’t heard any indication that the Saints plan on moving Ramczyk to left tackle. All I’ve heard is that if we don’t retain Armstead, we’ll be looking at LT’s with our first round pick.

JP has pointed out on several occasions that Ramczyk has incentives in his contract that are based on snaps and/or performance at the left tackle position. I wouldn't be surprised if those that have the opinions you mentioned are somewhat "underinformed" if you get what I mean. :D
