Indy might want to trade out if Bowers is gone. They can get a CB at the end of the 1st.

I’d love to trade up a little and get a LT

Morgan's floor is an average to above average starter even at tackle IMO. |
I don't think there's any way in hell we can trade up for a sure-fire LEFT tackle.
But I'm still not so sure we don't take a tackle. And it may well still be a good value pick. Taylor's athleticism and contract leads me to believe that the team was comfortable with him at either side, and while Morris was a mixed bag last season,he was perfectly serviceable in three of four games. The whole team was a dumpster fire in Vegas, so I don't think that's a fair measuring stick. If the team wants to shore up the OT situation, take a guy with the physical attributes and take 3 physical specimens into camp and figure it out. We're just not going to get into position for one of the sure-fire guys. |
Dunder brought up a great point about projection in the WR thread but wanted to elaborate with real numbers. There just aren't many OTs with actual experience at LT in this draft. Take from the following what you will, but my opinion remains that its not that strong of a LT class despite the quality of the overall class unless you really strain and project.
Here's an in-depth look at the OLine class with guys who at least spent some time at one of the tackle spots. I'll bold those with at least 10 games started at LT. I'll highlight in red those where the prevailing thought is they have to move inside to OG or OC. I'll make those blue where the thought is they cannot play LT in the NFL and the position is up in the air (RT/IOL). Alt - LT (21 GS) Fashanu - LT (21 GS) Fautanu - LT (29 GS) LG (2 GS) Latham - RT (27 GS) Fuaga - RT (25 GS) Barton - LT (34 GS) OC (5 GS) Mims - RT (8 GS) Guyton - RT (13 GS) LT (1 GS) Morgan - LT (37 GS) Suamataia - RT (12 GS) LT (11 GS) Paul - LT (44 GS) Beebe - LG (26 GS) LT (13 GS) RT (9 GS) Coleman - LT (22 GS) LG (12 GS) Puni - LT (27 GS) LG (13 GS) RT (3 GS) Rosengarten - RT (28 GS) Fisher - RT (26 GS) LT (1 GS) Amegadjie - LT (14 GS) RG (10 GS) Jones - RT (35 GS) LT (13 GS) Wallace - RT (40 GS) Foster - LT (39 GS) RT (2 GS) Nourzad - RT (20 GS) OC (13 GS) LG (7 GS) RG (1 GS) Glaze - LT (15 GS) RT (17 GS) Laumea - RT (26 GS) RG (18 GS) Goncalves - RT (13 GS) LT (11 GS) Leveston - LT (32 GS) Ayedze - LT (37 GS) RT (9 GS) RG (1 GS) Thomas - LT (25 GS) Rouse - LT (52 GS) Driskell - LT (26 GS) Crum - RT (36 GS) LT (13 GS) Glover - LT (35 GS) RT (18 GS) LG (4 GS) Ezirim - RT (19 GS) Gargiulo - OC (17 GS) LT (14 GS) LG (5 GS) Greenfield - LT (31 GS) RT (24 GS) Henderson - LT (20 GS) LG (19 GS) Monk - RG (36 GS) RT (12 GS) OC (10 GS) Pearl - LT (24 GS) RT (9 GS) RG (5 GS) Grable - LT (43 GS) Coker - RT (41 GS) LT (5 GS) Barnhart - RT (16 GS) LT (9 GS) RG (3 GS) LG (2 GS) Dankwah - LT (25 GS) Edwards - LT (29 GS) Nester - RG (41 GS) RT (11 GS) Jerrell - RT (40 GS) Flax - RT (23 GS) Sundell - OC (25 GS) LT (15 GS) Manu - LT (33 GS) LG (6 GS) Thompson - LT (37 GS) |
Suamataia - RT (12 GS) LT (11 GS)
Paul - LT (44 GS) Amegadjie - LT (14 GS) RG (10 GS) These are the three guys that I've been primarily looking at anyways. |
What’s the problem with Paul? He seems like a good solid player

Just my take. |
If I had to guess, we'll see a battle between whatever rookie LT they draft and Morris in camp. If neither of them look anywhere close to ready then they'll sign Donovan Smith.
|
If I were going to call my shots...
Experienced, the guy I would move up for, trust can be a LT - Troy Fautanu Not quite the experience level you want, a little projection, but shows enough traits I think you can take him and start him - Kingsley Suamataia Hasn't really played LT, you're working on projection but think he can - Blake Fisher |
Weirdly enough, the PFF mock draft tool dropped Kingsley down to 66th overall. Before that he was in the mid 30s.
