Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville

Mekhi Becton is a massive human being, he has size, strength, and athleticism. Becton ran a 5.1 40 yard dash which is phenomenal for a 364-pound offensive tackle.

His weight may be a bit of an issue, but as we have seen with Orlando Brown and the Baltimore Ravens, if a player has the speed and athleticism to play then he can serve as a solid tackle in the NFL.

Becton is most likely not going to be the choice for the Jaguars at the 9th pick, but if he is available at the 20th overall pick there is a good chance Jacksonville goes with him and moves Cam Robinson inside to guard.

Becton is one of the hottest players on draft boards right now. He and three other offensive tackles could be taken in the first 15 picks in the first round.
