Left Tackles

Maybe he isn't the LT you love long-term. But shoot, you can throw him into the mix with the expectation that he can smoothly transition to guard in 2025 if LT isn't a long-term home.

It makes a lot of sense to me.

This is kind of where I was leaning. If we cant trade up I think taking a shot on a tackle is a good idea. And its unlikely you get everything you want in one at 32. He seems like a solid bet. I'm starting to think that if there's a guy with LT upside at all he's worth a shot in the King Felix mold.

Yes, exactly he is really low risk. He can start just about anywhere on the line. Lots of mocks have him going ahead of us, but if he is there at 32, I think he is a solid pick.

Morgan could be an elite guard if he doesn’t work out at LT? Is he strong enough? He obviously has the athleticism.

As someone else pointed out, his arms are only 1/8 inch shorter than Rashawn Slater and I think we would have no problem sticking him at LT.

Our line depth is so pitiful, I wouldn't mind them taking a couple in this draft. Take Morgan early and someone like Paul, Fisher or the Yale kid later. Move up in the second to get a WR you like.

Put Morgan at LT this year and let the developmental tackles battle it out with Morris as a swing or future LT then move Morgan to LG to replace Thuney.

Morgan is going to be better than anything we have had since Fisher over there. He might not be all pro, but he will be enough to let Patrick be Patrick.

I just don’t agree about Morgan. I just don’t see Veach taking a 32 arm length tackle and a guard in the 1st with a need at OT and WR? Just don’t see it man.
