a 2nd rounder starting at left tackle b/c he's left handed. While Taylor Moton is perfect to play LT. not sold on him being put into the starting line up. plus him being a 2nd rounder and our track record, wasn't a good pick. Hope i'm wrong, but this rodeo has been done plenty of times.

The whole point of training camp and the preseason is to decide who the starters and backups are going to be. There will be lots of good battles in Spartanburg. Something to.look forward to.

What makes Moton perfect for LT given that he was a RT and Guard? Little has been a LT the entire time and both are second rounders you know?

So our history drafting 2nd rounders means that no 2nd rounders we ever draft will pan put and your opinion of the player means he’s a bad pick huh? Lol

And yet points to Moton as perfect....a second rounder.

Had a similar situation with DJ vs. DJ last year and both went on to have great rookie seasons.

I was JUST about to make this same point.  Is Marty developing a trend?  Drafting complimentary players?  Haha, but yes DJ Moore and Donte Jackson were both great picks and will likely be here for a LONG time.

There’s too much talent around him for him not to succeed IMO. He’s in a very good situation.

    • I agree.  As much as it doesn't make sense right now, I can see it happening.
    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
