Unfortunately, every OT prospect at this point has his flaws.
Jenkins has enough athleticism to cover both spots, but he only has 33.5" arms and I don't believe has experience at LT.
Cosmi is more athletic and has played LT, but he also has shorter than preferred arm length (33.0").
Radunz has 34" arms but is lighter (301 lbs) and comes from D3 school, so he may not be ready to start right away.
Walker Little has 33.75" arms and has the necessary athleticism to play both OT spots, but he hasn't really played in two years.
Jackson Carman was the LT for Clemson, but he's likely going to have to follow in Clint Boling's footsteps and shift inside to G given he has only 32.5" arm length. He also struggles some with speed rushers outside, further emphasizing a move inside.
Spencer Brown has perfect measurables, but he's also from D3, so he might not start right away either.

They might go crazy and get Stone Forsythe, the big OT from Florida.
Good in pass protection, has great length.
He's projected in Rd 3-4 though.
