Strengths
-Experienced prospect with 2.5 years as a starter in the SEC, despite being a 21-year-old rookie
-Plus athlete for the tackle position
-Sound technique, especially in pass protection
-Good understanding of pass rush strategies help him counter rushers with more developed rush repertoires
-Plays with a high motor and is an aggressive finisher
Weaknesses
-Shorter than average for an NFL tackle
-Improved bend would help him anchor more consistently against outright power rushers
-Doesn't project as a player who could make the switch to left tackle or be a swing tackle, will likely just play right tackle or guard in the NFL
-Hits the 33-inch arm threshold (arms measured in at 33 1/2 inches at the NFL Combine) but rushers with plus reach can give him trouble

Bottom line
In a class that's pretty left tackle-heavy, Membou stands out as the top option on the right side. His overall value though will come down to what teams prioritize more - athleticism or size. Offensive schemes that prioritize the former will probably have him ranked higher than others, but his movement ability and technical skill being where it is at his age should allow him to play at a starting-caliber level in any system.
