Why is everyone infatuated with Penning?

Honest question. No trolling. He was one of the most penalized left tackles playing against D2 competition. He held on several one-on-one reps during the senior bowl. He held a DE so bad on one rep he threw the defender into Desmond Ridder’s knees.

Is it just the size and potential? I think he’ll be great in the run game but, I feel like he’ll get abused by NFL defensive ends. Idk sorry to rain on everyone’s parade

He’s so nasty.
He’s so mean.
He might be partly retarded.

So we’re just going to waste a first round pick because we need one?? This draft is loaded with O/linemen

The thing with Penning is the raw talent and potential is there. You can fix his issues. That’s why we have coaches.

Doesn’t Ram have an escalator clause in his contract if he slides over to left tackle? Could be that they’re shuffling the O line.

Coaches don’t always coach up a prospect who solely relies on potential

This guys technique and tendency to hold is terrible

Good linemen grow into their position and play 10-15 years.

This is a big ol' guy, who attracted a lot of attention while playing at a lower level with sub-par coaching. Couple years of good NFL coaching, and he might be the best lineman in the league.

I never heard of him before a week ago. All I can guess is that you can’t teach size, motor and desire. Saints got to see him at Senior Bowl practices. If he holds twice a game but opens holes for Kamara or gives Jameis time to throw 40 yards downfield to Olave it will be a great move. Might not “peak” until year 2-3 but like the pick!

We were too far away to move up for one of the top 3 tackles, and the tackles rated 5+ were a giant leap down from those top 3. Penning at least gives the potential of the top 3 guys at a price that we could afford.

There’s risk in him, but it’s a risk we had to take given the current roster.
