Draft Profile: Bio
Armand Membou, a sophomore offensive tackle from Missouri, stands out as a promising prospect with intriguing physical tools and developmental potential. Hailing from Lee's Summit, Missouri, Membou was a four-star recruit coming out of high school, ranked as the No. 7 prospect in the state by 247Sports. He made an immediate impact at Missouri, seeing action in 11 games as a true freshman in 2022 and starting the final five contests.In 2023, Membou solidified his role as the Tigers' primary right tackle, starting all 13 games. His performance, along with the entire Missouri offensive line, earned them a semifinalist nod for the Joe Moore Award, recognizing the nation's top offensive line unit. Membou was instrumental in an offense that reached 500 total yards in five games and rushed for over 200 yards on five occasions.
Despite being only a sophomore, Membou has already showcased the ability to anchor the right side of the line against SEC competition. His rapid ascension from a rotational player to a full-time starter speaks volumes about his development and potential as an NFL
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List at #. He Wrote: "At 6-3, 320 pounds, Membou has only 18 percent body fat — a very low number for a young offensive lineman that big. Membou also moves exceptionally well for that size. He had an electronic 10-yard time of 1.63 and his 20 was 2.80. He also vertical-jumped 32 inches and squatted 600 pounds."
- Explosive first step off the snap, allowing him to quickly engage defenders and establish positioning in pass protection
- Impressive athleticism and nimbleness for his size, displaying fluid movement skills when mirroring edge rushers
- Demonstrates good depth in his pass sets, countering various rush techniques effectively
- Utilizes powerful hand strikes to jolt defenders, showing potential for dominant play at the point of attack
- Exhibits above-average agility when adjusting to stunts and blitzes, showcasing mental processing and spatial awareness
- Possesses the frame and length typical of NFL tackles, with room to add more functional mass
- Shows flashes of nastiness in the run game, particularly when driving defenders off the ball on down blocks
- Demonstrates versatility with experience at both guard and tackle positions, increasing his value at the next level
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Inconsistent hand placement in pass protection, occasionally allowing defenders to get into his chest and compromise his balance
- Footwork can be erratic at times, leading to a narrow base and vulnerability against power rushers
- Needs to improve lower body strength and anchoring ability to better absorb bull rushes from more powerful edge defenders
- Run blocking technique requires refinement, particularly in terms of hand placement and sustaining blocks through the whistle
- Must develop a more consistent mean streak to fully capitalize on his physical gifts and dominate opponents consistently
Scouting Report: Summary
Membou's skill set translates well to zone-blocking schemes at the next level. His quick first step and agility allow him to excel in reach blocks and getting to the second level, key components of outside zone runs. In pass protection, his ability to gain depth quickly and mirror defenders suits him for offenses that utilize a lot of play-action and longer-developing pass plays.While Membou shows promise, his technique needs refinement to consistently succeed against NFL-caliber edge rushers. His hand placement and footwork inconsistencies could be exposed by more sophisticated pass rush moves. Improving his anchor and adding functional strength will be crucial for handling power rushers who are prevalent in the pro game.
Ultimately, Membou's athleticism and frame give him a high ceiling, but his floor remains uncertain. His development trajectory suggests he could become a solid NFL starter within his first few seasons, provided he continues to progress technically and physically. His versatility to potentially play guard adds value, though his best fit remains at tackle where his movement skills can be fully utilized.
