Here's  a challenge: Name a really good right tackle in the NFL (no googling).

Right tackles are always lesser known than their leftward counterparts. And it's not at all unusual for them to only be average to slightly above average players. Teams just don't tend to invest heavily in that spot.

If your team does have a good RT, it's probably either because he's a high pick they're grooming to move left or they got lucky on a late rounder (i.e. what we're hoping happens with Williams).

Or a left handed QB, so the RT would then be protecting the QBs blindside.

Teams don't use high picks on RTs so if we are looking to upgrade, it would have to be someone in that range. RTs are generally serviceable guys, elite RTs are usually dominant run blockers. Give me a RT who won't give up a sack with a right handed QB that can see the rush coming i will take all day.

Honestly though, we don't need competition along the OL like we do at WR.  I'm just fine with Oher at LT, Kalil at center, and Turner and Norwell at OG.  I'd just like to see RT upgraded.  If we can't upgrade at RT, then Shula just has to get better at compensating for our weakness there when we face good speed rushers.  

I would do hope to see some competition for the backup positions though.  If Oher gets hurt... oh wee mayne.  He may not be an elite LT, but he's the only competent LT we have.  

I'm not a Shula hater, but he didn't adjust to the speed rush against Denver and I felt like some screen passes would have kept the D honest.

He got hurt week 1, pretty sure he played all the preseason games. Remmers was, and possibly still will be this year, the best option. Super Bowl was ugly, yes. That doesn't take away the other 18 games he played well over last season. SB was ugly for 90% of the team.

I don't know if he played well.  He's definitely not a hog molly to pave way for Stewart and the run game.  Cam's mobility helps him a lot.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
