Rd #6 - With the 206 pick of the nfl the bills pick lundt offensive tackle

[gonzo1105]

It’s pretty straightforward, he has to beat out RVD. If it’s close I think they will keep Lundt over RVD for a couple reasons. Lundt will be on his rookie deal for 4 years while RVD is under control for two but year 2 is as a RFA which is starting to get pricey for a # 4 tackle. 
 

I think if Lundt beats him out they’ll try to move RVD for a late pick as he might have cheap value as a swing tackle for a more OL needy football team. If he doesn’t Lundt goes PS year 1 and takes over for RVD year two. The only downside is if Lundt gets claimed at some point by another team

Isn’t this guy really a short arm guard. What’s all the tackle talk

Ageed. If it's close RVD gets traded. And since he has some solid NFL tape I guess late 5th is not impossible given Beane's track record.

 

I can see another 5th for AJ, but that is different story.

Really hard to believe this guy is a 6th rd pick . Lot of teams need OL how did this happen? The guy has talent.

Short arms, small school for football (level of competition., doesn't have a lot of lean muscle.  That is, he needs to get a lot stronger.  I think his near term ceiling is the PS.

The fact that a team drafted a short armed tackle fourth overall does not negate the fact that arm length is a factor in the valuation given to prospects.  Will Campbell started at left tackle starting in his freshmen year for a top notch SEC school.  Lundt started for the University of Connecticutt.  He ran a sub 5.0 40 (Lundt ran a 5.4).  Campbell had what are considered elite numbers in his vertical and broad jumps and outweighed Lundt by 15 lbs.  Lundt is 2 inches taller, but I don't know that 6'8" height is considered to be an advantage.  Lundt apparently did not do a vertical or broad jump in testing.  All of the above, except for the arm length are among the reasons why Campbell was drafted so high.  Lundt might develop into a good offensive lineman.  He apparently has pretty polished technique and good lateral movement.  I just don't think he's going to jump Ryan Vandemark on the depth chart at tackle or Alex Anderson at guard/center.  Buffalo also has Tylan Gable, who played pretty well, well enough to threaten Van Demark's spot as a swing tackle before he got hurt, and Travis Clayton, the Brit who has freakish athleticism.
