Best Left Tackle ever?

Since we're celebrating some hopeful improvements to our own offensive line, I find myself pondering a question:

For those who've been around long enough to see both (or anyone with a highlight reel formed opinion) if you had to pick a left tackle to build around, who you taking between...

Joe Thomas...

or Anthony Munoz?

And hey, if you've got an alternate suggestion, feel free to make your case.

Boselli played with immense raw power. Erik Williams was superb—Reggie White feared him. 

Ogden is the best I’ve evaluated in my lifetime. Almost 6’10”, played with incredible agility and leverage, and would maul elite DL and LB in the run game. Paved the way for an underrated rushing attack in 2000. Tenacity, availability, leadership.

I thought Walter Jones was a great player. I don't think of Munoz in the same class as the best of today but he was playing in a very different league.

Walter Jones absolutely was a great LT.

I'd put the top 5 LTs of my lifetime (I'm 36, so let's say the last 25 years or so):

1. Jonathan Ogden

2. Joe Thomas

3. Walter Jones

4. Orlando Pace

5. Willie Roaf

Walter Jones is my personal choice but hard to wrong with anyone listed here

Yep, it's pretty much personal favorites and personal opinions when you're talking about the elite of the elite. Give me any of those five guys I listed and you couldn't beat the smile off of my face with a baseball bat.

Just give me Gross and Moton and I'd be thrilled to death

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
