A "1st Round" OT dropping to 57

So...a DJ Humphries side discussion in another thread gave me an idea about the "projected" 2nd rounders we've been debating this year.  For the 1st 2 rounds it seems like a certain crop has constantly been discussed:

 

Brandon Scherff

Andrus Peat

Ereck Flowers

Eric Fisher

La'el Collins

Cedric Ogbuehi

TJ Clemmings

DJ Humphries

 

Now I know in previous drafts we've seen a decent amount of OTs go before our second pick, but this year, given the amount of talent elsewhere and what could shape up, I think there's a decent shot one of these 8 guys is available at 57. 

 

 

Quick factoids:

 

-There were only 6 that went before 57 in 2014 (and I'm being fair because some are more guards)

-There were only 6 that went before 57 in 2013

 

And this OT class isn't even perceived to be that special overall so I really think there's a possibility someone slips. 

 

 

So..who could you see this being?

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
