RAS is a good indicator when you look at linemen as can be seen with guys like Bakhtiari, Trent Williams, Armstead, and Wirfs for example. However, each of those players have at least 34" arms. I believe another worrisome aspect is some of the tape on Raimann at the Senior Bowl when there was a noticeable rise in competition level. He struggled mightily at times while guys like Cole Strange came in and many stated he was dominant and one of the best performers over the entire week. There have been concerns about the lateral footwork of Raimann and going against NFL speed.
Having the chance to develop is great but I want a first round player that I can plug in and be confident about. There are some good developmental tackles throughout this draft.
