Including Penning there have been only 4 OL drafted in first round from FCS schools. Here are the others: Tytus Howard, Lester Holmes, and Jermaine Stephens. Stephens and Holmes were basically busts. Howard has had some injuries but hes been an average to decent starter.

Point being its just dumb to waste a first round pick on a FCS OL. Competition matters.

Now how many FCS OL were taken in other rounds or undrafted and would be 1st rounders in a redraft? Larry Allen & Jahri Evans jump to mind. I'm sure there are others, these 2 always stuck out to me.

Bottom line, you can't rule someone out just because of the competition. With that said, in hindsight it appears there were some signs major that Penning should have been a 2nd or 3rd rounder at best. Especially considering some of the red flags were when he was competing against other FCS competition.
