I feel like OTs are such a crapshoot. Every year there are sure things bust and traits guys who turn into excellent linemen. How does one draft them effectively?
Is this just a position where we regularly fill from FA just to get adequate known quantities until Patrick slows down? Take Wanya as an example: he has every trait you could want. So do you go invest in another traits guy like Fisher? I guess if they both work out, you can let Taylor go. I just have a hard time getting comfy spending big draft capital on one when outcomes feel so volatile. |

Something about that 4th overall pick
So, out of the top 10 Highest paid tackles the ones drafted in 1st round: 1) 13th pick 2) 4th pick 3) 4th pick 4) 109th pick 5) 14th pick 6) 4th pick 7) 6th pick 8) 35th pick 9) 6th pick 10) 32nd pick |

i.e. Charles Cross 1 #9 Rashawn Slater 1 #13 Christian Darrisaw 1 #23 Bernhard Raimann 3 # 77 Tristan Wirfs (1 #13) could play LT easily Yeah, it's rare to get that guy outside the top 13, but it happens from time to time. That's why you have to gauge it and see. If one of the top 3 get to 15, you have to consider that move, else you're probably looking at continuing to draft projects and hope. |

I'd be super in on trading up for an OT, but I don't think it's gonna work out.
Fautanu, Fashanu and Mims are all going really high IMO. Couple of elite pass-protecting LTs (literally who cares about run blocking at this point, other than Harbaugh - they can have Fuaga) and an otherwordly size/athlete prospect. Fautanu I don't see getting past 14, and the Jets would be dumb to pass on him. He'd be my guy but that's too rich. Late teens is the floor for the other 2 IMO. Maybe if the Rams wanna acquire more picks. Hard pass on Guyton and Latham. Very overrated groupthink prospects IMO. And then the other guys I'd stay put at 32 and either take and hope for the best, or just go to another position. |

FWIW, Eric Edholm at nfl.com updated his top 100 prospects (it apparently includes insight from teams/scouts that he has spoken to). With respect to tackles, he has the following:
6. Alt 13. Latham 15 Fautanu 17 Fuaga 19 Fashanu 20 Mims 23 Guyton 34 Morgan (Guard) 42 Suamataia 70 Paul 72 Fisher 89 Christian Jones 94 Amagadje 97 Foster |

I'm starting to settle on Kingsley in the 1st with a trade up for a WR in the 2nd, barring a trade up in the 1st or Adonai Mitchell making it to 32.

Really like Kingsley for a bit of a developmental guy, but **** I cant really do Dan Harms. He's okay solo, but I hate listening to him and Ryan slobber all over each other. RGR used to be one of my favorites.

I don't mind him, but I don't watch anything with Ryan. |
