i know its early but whos turning out to be the best tackle?

I personally am a dumbass because i wanted chris williams, who cant crack the starting lineup in chicago...heard a very knowledgable bears fan griping about this on nfl radio today..I remember we faced albert in the k.c game but dont remeber him being good or bad..just now starting to hear about clady since we'll be facing them on sunday...With that being said otah has got to be the best value pick out of these tackles imo...cant belive before the draft i had otah last on my list(to my credit tho i wanted a left tackle who could pass block and run block)

clady = LT otah = RT, i'd love to have a stud LT like clady personally. throw in baker(baker is now on ir, but did fairly well before the injury) and brown (even as a vt fan, surprised at the props he gets) other 1st rounders that have been solid. was a good crop so far. otah might be the best run blocker, but clady imo is the best, might not be the runblocker otah is, but top LT bar none outa this draft as a pass blocker, and is developing as a run blocker, and LT is the most coveted spot on the oline as its the blindside to the QB (unless qb is a lefty).

yea, we know. he said otah is new to football, because he didnt start playing til his senior year in highschool. he is still learning basic fundamentals of the game. no-where to go but up with him.

Ah I see, I never knew that. Well you're right about him going nowhere but up. There are so many young players in the league right now and I can't wait to see them in like 3 years.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
