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

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

      a look at our 19 udfas

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
