Top Five left and right tackles 2020

Wirfs is still my guy and think he translates to the LT spot at the NFL level with ease. More athletic than Thomas or Wills.

Nice to see the "other guys" since it's been well documented that Thomas/Wills/Wirfs are all going top-15. If we go Brown or Simmons at 7, good to see who could be gotten with our 2nd round pick.

As of this post, Anthony Thomas is the only one that's worthy of a top 10 pick, if he's off the board it'd be a reach (even if the pick works out for us) to take the other tackles that are expected to go in top 16, esp with how there's some real high quality players that should be available.

Luke and Cam discussions aren’t depressing so something different 

We should draft the best one, and then draft the rest.  At least 2 of them have to pan out.

I have a religious objection to slideshows, so please don't insult my faith and give us the gist.

True story: 

Every time I’ve ever filled out my availability for a restaurant job (where Sunday availability is a big deal most places) on Sunday I always write Discuss.

When they asked me what needed to be discussed about Sundays I would explain that I have very strong religious beliefs and won’t work on holy days. Then I’d always add: My religion is football.

I can see us taking Thomas at 7 and using him as a solid run blocker and blindside protector of our QB.

I can also see a trade down, say to 12, the pick up Wirfs, who might, with coaching, translate to the left side.  Reports are that his lateral movement is not so good at the moment.  But, he is one of the most athletic right tackles I have seen in years.  Can you imagine getting this guy out in space ahead of CMC on a screen play?  Just being able to run a screen in Carolina has me salivating

I honestly don't think loosing Luke changes their original strategy as they probably have known it was coming. I think they have confidence in shaq to get it done or they wouldn't have paid him so much.

I would grab several OTs just playing the odds that one of them will work out.

This is how I think you find a good OT, same as I feel about a QB. We dont know what we have in little yet so I'd like to give him another year and if hes really bad then we can restart stocking tackles next year until one works. Until then vet stop gap LTs could be a yearly thing if we want our QB protected.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
