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

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
