I've talked about him in the past and there's a lot of red flags for me, especially as a first rounder. His hands and strength aren't going to cover his ass like they did in college, so I really want to see his workouts and how he is handling a pro conditioning program.

Really, the only OG that I see as honest to God first round worthy is Pouncey. Hudson's size scares the crap out of me, Franklin needs a lot of work, Watson is too old and Love just isn't a first two rounds OL. Give me Moffitt later on over all those guys anyway, even though it looks like he has worked his way into serious second round consideration, as I said he would before this season. Heck, with Wiz's poor close to the season, I even have him graded out of the first as a C.

Like I said a few weeks ago, I wish Tyron Smith wasn't getting the hype machine full force in his corner, because he is an ideal 1/2 OL. Right now, though, it could go any way at our pick with the OTs all gone and we're forced into a reach or a trade down, or we see that Sherrod, Costanzo and Carimi have been overvalued since the preseason and drop in our laps.

I agree with some questions about Cannon and that is why I cannot get behind him hole hearted in the 1st round.

Physically he has what we need size, feet and power.

But the weight is a concern that he may pull an Andre Smith. Cannon is the #1 player I am looking foward to seeing at the combine.

If Cannon comes in at the combine at 6'5" 335-340lbs. and looks good would your opinion on him change?
