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.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
