He's probably not a left tackle, so I guess I am relying on Taylor moving to left tackle for 2024.

That is exactly who I would've taken.

Great pick.

Is this who you were talking about before? I was thinking of Latham, but the same applied to JPJ really, although slightly less so.

Yes. Latham probably requires Taylor moving over to LT, but it could work.

Oddly enough, you know who Latham's comp is on nfl.com?

Jawaan Taylor lol.

JPJ would be a tougher short-term fit but an equally good long-term one.

I think just about any C can play OG. So I go ahead and extend Creed at Center rates then eventually move him to OG so I don't have to deal with these occasional bounced snaps anymore and put JPJ at C after Trey Smith walks and/or we lose Thuney for cap reasons.

Interior line is a sneaky big problem for us in the coming season or two. But I'm 100% confident we'll get it figured out fairly easily. So for that reason, of the two (Latham and JPJ) I'd go with Latham because ultimately I don't think we NEED to use a 1st round pick to fix a problem on the IOL. We very well may to deal with OT.

I think this is where I would have gotten to as well, but if Duncan took Latham instead I would have found it harder taking JPJ.

I don't think I would've.

Unless I had someone looking to give me a 2 for Trey Smith (which, given the IOL market, suddenly seems a lot less wild). Then I'd have maybe tried to make it work.

Yup - that's exactly what I'd do with this draft board.

Some good talent and for the right price I could be talked into a 10 pick or so trade down. But in a 'no trade' environment, Latham would be an easy pick for me.

A) Because I think Taylor can make the transition to LT
B) Because I'm not 100% sure Latham can't.

But I am almost certain that Latham is a long time starting OT in this league. He moves awfully well for a guy that big.
