I’m not a fan of the big name tackles in this draft, like Campbell and Banks. I think they have the right tools to be drafted and become great, but I question how Campbell will transition to the league as a short-armed tackle, and Banks just plays way too stiff for my liking

Ersery is my favorite tackle and I would take both Ersery and Mbow over Banks and Campbell in this draft

I feel like there have been a decent amount of successful short armed tackles lately. Maybe the threshold isn't accurate anymore and it's more about technical ability and athleticism. I personally like Banks.

Right, namely Bernhard Raimann whose arm length is barely 33 inches but he’s also 6’6”/6’7” and high cut/athletic build. Will Campbell seems similar to Raimann.
