Mayock: "A guy I like is Forrest Lamp, he's a lot like Zack Martin when he came out of Notre Dame...late 1st round guy, can kick inside day one as a Guard"
My thoughts: Move Ifedi to Right Tackle. Mayock "He (Ifedi) could play Right Tackle."

Forrest Lamp Western Kentucky 6'4" ARMS: 31 1/8" Weight: 305LBS Hands 10 7/8" Overview
Lamp finished a brilliant career for the Hilltoppers by scoring a touchdown in the team's bowl game. It was a designed "tackle screen", actually, and the speed he showed with the ball in his hands was indicative of his athleticism.
Lamp earned honorable-mention All-Sun Belt honors starting at guard (three games) and left tackle (nine games) as a redshirt freshman in 2013. He stayed at his left tackle home the next year, garnering honorable mention All-Conference USA notice as the team moved to that league.
The past two years, Lamp was a first-team all-conference selection, starting every game on the blind side. He was a third-team Associated Press All-American as a senior.

2017 NFL Draft: Meet Forrest Lamp, the NFL's next great guard prospect
Many successful pro guards were tackles in college, and Lamp appears ready for the conversion
What do several of the top offensive guards in the NFL have in common? They were once offensive tackles in college.
Cowboys All-Pro Zach Martin started 52 games at Notre Dame, none at guard.
Before he was a second-round pick by the Ravens and before he signed a lucrative deal with the Raiders, Kelechi Osemele was Iowa State's starting left tackle for three seasons.
Ravens Pro Bowler Marshal Yanda had some experience at guard in college at Iowa, but most of his starting experience was split between left and right tackle.
Joel Bitonio (Browns), Justin Pugh (Giants), T.J. Lang (Packers), Ali Marpet (Buccaneers), Cody Whitehair (Bears) and Brandon Scherff (Redskins) are some more recent examples of college tackles who shifted to the interior of the offensive line in the NFL and are flourishing.
Who is that prospect in the 2017 NFL Draft class? Meet Forrest Lamp.
(And no, he wasn't named after Tom Hanks' title character in Forrest Gump, which was released five months after he was born.)

New York Jets NFL Draft 2017: Is Western Kentucky's Forrest Lamp a hidden gem?
Haven't heard of Forrest Lamp yet? Well, you will. The guard/tackle is skyrocketing up draft boards. He's a borderline first-round pick at the moment, but could easily work himself into the middle of the round.
Lamp played offensive tackle the majority of his four years at Western Kentucky. In the NFL, he figures to play more guard. He's 6-4 and 305 pounds with sneaky athleticism. He displayed some surprising speed when he scored a 9-yard touchdown in the Boca Raton Bowl.
The Jets need help on the offensive line. Lamp isn't someone they'd use the No. 6 pick on, but they could trade back into the first if he's there towards the end of the round.
So, who is Lamp? What do you need to know about him? Here's a quick scouting report and a brief Q&A from the 2017 Senior Bowl.

Washington Redskins 2017 Draft Profiles: Forrest Lamp, OG - Hogs Haven takes a look at 2017 NFL prospects that could contribute to the Redskins Player Overview:
Forrest Lamp is trying to make his case that he is the best offensive guard in the draft. The former Western Kentucky LT has had a very successful career but rose to national prominence (in the draft world) after his performance against Alabama. Lamp is a student of the game here is what he said about preparing for Alabama
"First thing I look for is scheme and tendencies of the defense," Lamp said. "The second thing is I look at the individual player. In pass protection, Tim Williams and Jonathan Allen are two completely different players. And my pass-set depends on who I'm going against.
At season’s end Lamp’s stock was boosted even more after edge rushers Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson both named Lamp as the toughest offensive lineman they faced all year.
Lamp really does remind me a lot of Luke Joeckel. He plays we an excellent base, has a great shuffle, had great balance, and rarely surrenders the edge. Lamp is a technician playing with great fundamentals, particularly in pass protection. Like Joeckel, Lamp is better suited to play LG in the NFL. He doesn't possess the desired arm length or lower body strength for an NFL LT. Despite those less than ideal physical marks Lamp is likely a long time starter in the NFL. He is ready to start today at LG.

2017 Mock Drafts: Forrest Lamp To The Redskins?
In his second mock draft of the year, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has the Redskins selecting offensive lineman Forrest Lamp in the first round.
Could the Washington Redskins continue to beef up the offensive line with another first round pick added to the group?
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah puts it on the table in his latest mock draft, as he has the Redskins taking guard Forrest Lamp with the 17th-overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Jeremiah believes that Lamp – like Spencer Long – has the ability to play both center and guard.
“Lamp carries weight well on his 6-foot-4 frame. He excelled at offensive tackle in college, but I believe it would be in his best interest to move inside to guard at the next level,” Jeremiah recently wrote about Lamp, his No. 17 prospect in this year’s class.
“This is one of the more technically sound linemen you'll see at the college level. He is quick out of his stance and he bends really well. He keeps his hands in tight and consistently stays on balance. He is always very patient and doesn't overextend. In the run game, he runs his feet on contact and generates movement at the point of attack. He was lights-out against Alabama. His lack of ideal height and length could be an issue in the NFL but that would be alleviated with a move to guard. Overall, Lamp is very strong, consistent and reliable, which should allow him to get on the field right away.”

Redskins, Chargers & Titans meet with WKU OL Forrest Lamp at Senior Bowl
Lamp’s most impressive tape was against Alabama last year, proving he can hang with top competition. His size will likely necessitate a move inside to guard from tackle, but he’s already drawing comparisons to Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin, who was a first-round pick and is already proving to be well worth the investment.

Forrest Lamp, OT, WKU: 2017 NFL Draft prospect on the rise
As a prospect, many project Lamp inside to guard at the next level. His lack of great height and length are primary reasons for that, though it didn’t affect his play while at Western Kentucky, even against the best competition he faced…

In his junior season, Lamp did not allow a sack while quarterback Brandon Doughty enjoyed one of the best seasons of anyone at his position in college football. This is a steady pass protector who also excels in the run game and appears made for the NFL.
