He's been pretty good both against the run and pass in his Alabama career, and he plays RT.
6'6", 335 lb

I'd like to get someone like Ifedi as a cheap veteran stopgap and insurance while drafting JC Latham.
Let them compete for starting RT in 2024, Latham take over as starter in 2025 if he doesn't already earn it in 2024.

Backup LT spot could be a competition between Carman and Smith, who both will be in final year under contract.

Agreed on Latham. He's been more than solid for a while now and he's a 'bama OL, so unless your name is Alex Leatherwood, you will live up to your draft status.

As for Dawand, he held Hubbard by the collar a few times (it's in one of the videos everyone is showing of him) and it went uncalled, not to mention a failed snatch trap that was clearly a hold.

Hubbard is not the quick-twitch, athletic DE that Dawand will face, so it's no wonder he had a decent game. Let's see him against Watt, Parsons, people like that and if he holds up, great! But I don't think he will.
