Round 2 LTs


Martin

Recommended Posts

Assuming we get a QB with the first pick without losing our 2nd rounder, what are the top LT options for us?

I like the athleticism of James Hudson and D’Ante Smith, they feel like high upside guys that in the mold of Saints Terron Armstead (he also needed some development when drafted).

Do your homework on Hudson--head case? https://theathletic.com/1134683/2019/08/13/coach-called-me-a-liar-mom-michigan-cincinnati-remain-at-odds-in-the-james-hudson-saga/ 

   Smith is not a second rounder, imo.  I think he will end up as an NFL G. 

The second round LTs are not without flaws---Leatherwood maybe?

If leatherwood makes it to our pick I would do it.  Eichenberg, Jackson Carman and Alaric Jackson are guys I like too.

Eichenberg is my choice. Not an elite athlete but ready to play. I think this staff would go with Hudson over him due to athletic profile. If tevin jenkins is still there, run to the podium to select. I think he goes first round. 

D'ante Smith is a good one that will he available late in the second if we trade back. 

Leatherwood is not a LT imo. Will end up at G. Gives up lots of pressure to the edge.

stretch if he stays outside at RT l, but love to bring him in as a LG prospect. Iowa produces solid lineman. He is a sleeper imo.

I think Eichenberg will be a good NFL tackle. Carman and Jackson are probably looking at playing guard in the NFL, and I think both will be very good guards.

Might want to look at Brady Christensen from BYU. Guy is more athletic than I thought. He just broke the broad jump record for Olinemen by 3 inches.

Broad Jump - 10'4"

Vertical - 34"

Bench - 30 reps 

Waiting to see the rest of his results. 

Lotta dudes to choose from this year

Same on Jenkins. If he is there to start end 2, move up for him. Big nasty RT road grader type. Kinda another Otah type of not really a good fit at LT but hell of a RT.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
