During an ESPN Zoom session, Mel Kiper Jr. projected Miami to select LSU's Will Campbell at No. 13 in the NFL Draft, primarily due to potential retirement of Terron Armstead. Kiper emphasized the need to protect quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, implying tight expectations for Campbell's suitability for the role as his arm length might not fit the traditional standards. Kiper noted varying opinions on the importance of arm length in the success of offensive tackles, but affirmed Campbell's good footwork as a positive trait in his potential career.
