Oh JP, don't let the 6'4 (length) fool ya. Look at how rookie of year - 2021 (former 1st rounder pick #13) Rashawn Slater dominated at OT.

Almost identical measurables to Ikem.

I was listening to Moving the Chains last week and they were talking about the OL prospects and specifically mentioned Ekwonu as someone not to overlook because he wasn't 6'7". They said fans and media get too hung up on some measurables such as height and arm length when it comes to offensive linemen and ignore technique.

Personally I wouldn't mind another Wolfpacker on the team. Vaughan Johnson was a pretty good one.

Irregardless of how I feel, the Saints Scouting Krewe and Sean have stated their criteria (types) for certain positions; this has come up with respect to DE and IOL in past interviews...

Sean is no longer in the picture.

Sounds quite odd in wanting to have taller guys on the inside. They only get in the way of the passer. Guards and Centers are usually more runblockers than pass blockers since the technique becomes much more similar on the inside due to space constraints. That often leads teams to looking for shorter guys with big lower bodies so that they have a low center of gravity and the ability to anchor in the pass game and create a lot of force in the run game.

We should start to get some rumors this week from the scouting combine. Although, in all the years of following the draft the Saints haven’t drafted a single player that I’ve heard they’re showing a lot of interest in. It’s the rumors and speculation though that keeps us going this time of year.

Dohnovan West - interior offensive lineman
Arizona State

Has played right and left guard/center in college.

Versatile player / mid to late-round selection.

His teammate at OT Kellen Diesch is interesting, though scouts are saying he'd need a #RedshirtSeason to build his functional strength...

Tyler Linderbaum, C (Iowa)

Pick #18.

Would Dougie M even consider moving Erik back to Guard & Ruiz demoted?

Imagine how many people would come unglued if that was the pick here
