My breakdown of the top OT prospects

What about that T from Syracuse? He's fallen off the map it seems.

 

He's just not a very good OT prospect.  Very short arms (under 33") and not all that great in pass protection.  He'll probably go undrafted, but should get a shot to slide inside.  Very strong with 35 bench reps, but short arms help in that area.

Outside of those mentioned, I still think Rob Crisp is a good tackle to be had in the late-mids (4-6).  6'7 302, 34 1/2 arms, 10" hands.  Was solid in college and was a top performer in the shuttle drill (which I find important with the OTs)  Have him go through some good strength and conditioning and I think there's a ton of potential in him.

I'd be really disappointed if we took him at #25.  I wouldn't be all that happy if we took him in the 2nd.  3rd round is where I think this guy can come into play.  I'm just not big on him at all as an OT.  When I watch this guy, I see Morgan Moses.

 

HS recruit rankings mean nothing when it comes to evaluating NFL prospects.

 

Just look at his numbers and look at his workout drill videos.  There's only one word to really describe him as a prospect IMO - marginal.

 

so i guess marginal is the word to describe someone that many people say is one of the few LT prospects in the draft. 

 

OK

the thing I like so much about Erving is that he can probably play all 5 OL spots. He's a goldmine for OL depth, until he clicks into place for a permanent position. Who do we have behind Kalil, anyway?

 

Still have Folkerts. We re-signed him but any All OL in Erving will be a great add for some team out there.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
