It's funny how little Solder has been talked about as a draft choice. Here's the full 2011 draft:
2011 NFL Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Almost two seasons later, is there ANYONE you would rather have from pick 19 on in place of our franchise LT?
I love Solder, too. A tall long guy that can play with a good base.
It's a hard combination to beat.
But... He hasn't met JJ Watt yet!
Sorry but Watt is just a monster. I had very high hope for him during draft time, and he still blows me away.
What side does Watt play most on?
I love solder.
Unfortunately, the Texans' side.

Agree in a sense but lets be realistic... Watt has been dominant this year even if Solder Shares the spoils with Watt in the next game it would be a pretty immense effort by him Watt is just a beast. Then He will get to line up against both Smiths at some point the week after... Should be a real test of his progress to date. He holds those 3 monsters in check and i think he will start to get some national recognition.
Von Miller. Aldon Smith. JJ Watt. Julio Jones. Patrick Peterson.
Actually, 2011 draft was a pretty impressive one. Lee Smith and Markell Carter are MIA though. Also Malcolm Williams.
But you can't get any of those guys at 17.

I think Solder was an out and out draft steal and a terrific pick. Looking back on that draft there would only be (IMO) 7 players i would have picked ahead or equal to Nate... and that's with the help of hindsight and each is a pretty damn good football player.
J. J. Watt
Von Miller†
Aldon Smith
A. J. Green†
Patrick Peterson†
Julio Jones
Tyron Smith
I dunno that guy Ras I Dowling has been pretty special at 33.
Amazing! Go back and read some of the Preseason Gameday threads. Solder was getting slammed consistently and many labeled him as a "bust". Now he's getting praised as a potential Pro Bowler.
Hopefully the people who were all down on this kid just a few months ago will realize they'll never know anything close to what goes on inside a NFL organization. I doubt it though.
Anyway, glad to see he's been doing a great job this year. :rocker:
Solder gets to face up against JJ Watt and Alton Smith in back to back weeks,these two guys are both top 10 pass rushers,maybe even top 5
Good luck kid!!!
