Almost two seasons later, is there ANYONE you would rather have from pick 19 on in place of our franchise LT?
Crazy thing is, I don't think he's reached his ceiling.

I'm pretty sure he has. He's 6'8".

Solder was taken at 17. And there's only a handful of players that I could argue would have been worth taking ahead of Solder: JJ Watt, maybe Von Miller and Aldon Smith, possibly AJ Green and Julio Jones if you value WRs (which I don't).
Of course, I wanted Cam Jordan at 17. :bricks: I think he's a solid player, but the Pats were clearly smarter than me, as usual.
Phil Taylor is great when he's healthy. I'd love to have him, but not over Solder though.It's funny how little Solder has been talked about as a draft choice. Here's the full 2011 draft:

i admittedly didnt follow many of the pats drafts up until recent years...but how many o-lineman have they actually MISSED on? aside from injuries...it seems to be the most reliable area drafted for them.

They've been spot-on whenever they've felt strongly enough about an o-lineman do draft him in the top 3 rounds: Solder, Mankins, Vollmer, Kaczur. Later in the draft has been spottier, but that's to be expected.
I just think it's extraordinary to pick 17th (thanks for the correction, mayo!), take a player who was NOT an obvious pick, and to look back two years later and say "that was the single best possible pick in that spot."
