I’m told Alabama State T Tytus Howard is visiting the #Panthers on Monday

[hepcat]

Seems like a potential backup/replacement for Daryl Williams 

[bababoey]

Seems like more of a development guy.  Played in the Senior Bowl and is very physically gifted.  Seems like a guy, if things work out, that could move Moton back to RT next year.

Because he's small school or dislike him specifically?

I tend to subscribe to the big men from big schools mode of thinking, but this is a good argument.  I think it just boils down to you're more likely to miss when you draft linemen from smaller schools.  Not to say it's impossible to hit though, your above examples are evidence of that.

The big school vs. small school arguement is asinine, the key is to draft lineman with a bronco for a mascot!

Just for a quick check, I looked at the 2019 Pro Bowl roster. 

OL from P5 schools and Notre Dame: 17

OL from other schools: 6

 

I guess that does check out pretty well.

That’s actually a bit more than I’d expect. You have to assume that the best high school prospects go to P5 and Norte Dame so they fact that 25% of the pro-bowlers come from outside that says good things about the top guys from the smaller schools. How many combine OL were from P5 and ND? If it’s more than 75% then  it would seem you have a better hit rate on outside of that.

 Anyway, it’s pretty much a get the right guy at the end of the day. Moton is one of the top of not the top tackle from the 2017 class and he was the 5th tackle taken in a weak tackle class.

Well, bigger schools get the better talent and better talent usually has higher odds of being NFL players. Those stats are probably going to hold up pretty well across the board at just about every position. But, smaller schools get and develop some good talent, as well. You can't discount the smaller school guys but the value of being at a football factory school is evident every NFL draft.
