The “Deep OT class” may not be as deep at LT in scouts eyes

Honestly, that's fine with me. Seems like a lot of the best OTs over the past couple of decades are the guys who scouts are trying to pigeonhole as RTs only or even kicking them inside to OG. Scouts are to LTs what the Huddle is to #1 WRs. If the guy isn't a slam dunk HOFer he just doesn't belong. The problem for the scouts is that a lot of those guys have been busting over the past 20 years.

Darrisaw a LT? lol 

The depth in this class is pretty great. I just doubt you are going to want to start one right away at LT for a playoff contending team. 

So verge do you agree if Slater/Sewell aren’t there that Surtain is the pick like has been reported today?  Assuming chase and Pitts are gone of course.  Or do we have Surtain above Slater on our board?

I'd assume Waddle over Surtain.

I know right.  I feel like last year's draft was pretty predictable.  It was pretty much pre-ordained that we were going to take Brown or Simmons.  This year, who the hell knows.  We might end up with a QB!

We were never taking Simmons last year.

Left tackles are a rare evasive beast. Many will end up either a guard or restricted to the right side.  

In my opinion the breakdown of tackles goes like this. 

Sewell - Oregon has been putting out some quality lineman recently.  Sewell is the best yet. Certain Left 

Darrisaw -  Has the quickness to pass protect.  Moves well but needs to improve pulling and runblocking.  Possible Left 

Liam Eichenberg - technique, quickness, and projects well to the left.  Certain Left

Samuel Cosmi - Has the agilty and mirrors well.  Underrated guy that can stick at left.  

Then you got the maulers who are a bit bigger, some exceptionally so. 

Teven, Mayfield, and Lucas are nasty physical blockers that are either raw or lack the explosive quickness to stick on the left.  Spencer Brown and Drew Himmelman are giants even compared to other large men but leverage can work against them.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
