Faalele measured 6-foot-8 and weighed in at 384 pounds Friday. ESPN Stats & Information records that date to 2006 indicate Faalele is the heaviest player at the combine in that span and he is believed to be the heaviest player at the combine since Wisconsin's Aaron Gibson weighed in at 386 pounds at the 1999 scouting combine.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay both have Faalele ranked as the sixth-best offensive tackle in the draft.

1. I think he is a potential bust

Someone may fall in love with the potential, but I wouldn't draft him before the 4th Round.

2. Big questions:

What's his work ethic?

How maneuverable is he (lineman have to be able to run)?

Can he be coached at the pro level?

College and Pros is like night and day.

Man, that is a lot of human.

3. He's a biggun

I’d guess your questions are part of the draft assessment.

4. He's not very quick...

Which is why I think he will struggle in the NFL, where most teams have a quick pass rusher.

5. They'd have him lose weight ... and that's another issue

Can he actually lose the weight? Could he play more effectively at a lighter weight? Most lineman learn to do so (they are coached in pro techniques and learn from veterans). I guess we've all heard that technique and speed are crucial on the o-line. If he has the drive and is of the right mental state there's no reason he can't succeed.
