Green Bay Packers 2020 NFL Draft Big Board 1.0
8. Mekhi Becton, OT, Lousiville
The second-straight offensive tackle on our list is Mekhi Becton out of Louisville. At 6-foot-7 and 369 pounds, he’s an fricken’ huge force along the offensive line. It’s safe to say the Packers haven’t had size like this in a long while.
For a big guy, Becton has no issue moving around and is a pretty smooth athlete. He’s a nice pass-blocker and relies on good technique. His length is also a plus in all areas as he’s able to create a ton of separation with those long arms.
Overall, the Packers would be lucky to have Becton land in their laps. Although he projects on the left side, they could easily slide him over and be a Day One starter. He’s a good run-blocker as well and can mash opponents along the line. He still needs to work on his technique, but what rookie doesn’t? This would be a swing for the fences.
