Daniel Jeremiah: Teams Split on Ikem Ekwonu, Evan Neal as the Best ahead of NFL Draft

Six days away from the start of the 2022 NFL draft, there appears to be a divide among teams over who the top offensive tackle in this class is.

In a conference call with reporters (h/t NFL.com's Nick Shook), NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said teams are split over North Carolina State's Ikem Ekwonu and Alabama's Evan Neal as the No. 1 tackle:

"I know teams around the league are a little split on (Ekwonu) because he's kind of raw in pass pro, but it's all there. It's all in his body. He's a dominant run blocker who I think has some inside-outside ability.
