I'll use this thread to discuss and breakdown the upcoming offensive tackle position.
I thought last year's class was very good but next year could be a little better. Like every other position the tackle spot is becoming more athletic every other year. Again just look at last year's class. This year these guys are dripping with athletic upside and size. Sewell might be the best player in the country. Lawrence is obviously there, he deserves the spot as well and positional value will ultimately win out unless a team like KC, Sea, Ari, Balt etc gets the #1 overall pick.
Sewell is just another level as a mover. He's a big TE out there. Quick, efficient steps. Gets to his marks like lightening. He looks special.
Lots of big movers, projects in this year's class as well. Guys like Lucas who is just coming into his body & game. Carman, Cosmi, Ealy & Radunz are two other I really like.
And the then you have guys looking to bounce back and really put a stamp on their college careers like Little & Bruss. Bruss is someone I kinda like for us.
Then there's Daniel Faalele ... 6'9 - 400lbs, Daniel Faalele.
Not a bad class at all. Should be fun. I'll add to the list as we go along. Shout out names if I don't have someone up there.
