Is Nate Solder the best Offensive Lineman in Draft?

[dbair1967]

Hey no problem, If I had to rank my top 9 players in some sort of wish list Solder would make the list but....

1. Patrick Peterson
2. Tyron Smith
3. JJ Watt
4. Anthony Costanzo
5. Cameron Jordan
6. Prince Amukamara
7. Gabe Carimi
8. Nate Solder
9. Mike Pouncey

He wouldnt make mine, and neither would Pouncey or Amukamara

Hahah

 

[RS12]

No and I think he has the best chance of the big name O Lineman to be bust.

Compromise? Give me Gabe Carimi. He's like Colombo 2.0 minus the knee problems.

I love your posts, I love the thought you put into them, I respect your analysis and insight but.........

NO, NO and HECK NO!

I respect this analysis on this subject.

Maybe it's because he's out of reach, but where is Dareus on your list? Is it because it is a "wish" list and not a "dream" list?

I know everyone likes to use Barron as a punching bag because of the holding calls vs Washington, but in my honest opinion had he played all 16 games at RT instead of Colombo we'd have been better off. There's no way he'd have been flagged that much the rest of the yr, and his blocking run & pass was better than Colombo's.

In all honesty, I don't know how to feel about Solder.

He's got great potential at LT, is a good player already and has only been playing his position for a year. But does he fit our system? I don't see it.

 

[CowboyDan]

Don't jump on the Nate Solder bandwagon now....I called this when I did my mock months ago......Book It!!!

Von Miller thinks so….

Question: Who is the best opposing player you’ve faced in your college career?

Von Miller: “Nate Solder. He’s a beast! When you’re that big and you’re that quick, it’s real scary for guys like me. He can match you on every step. And I went against other guys: Jason Smith, Trent Williams and Russell Okung. All of those guys are great. But Nate Solder’s excellent.”

I have no doubt Nate Solder is the best OL that Von Miller went up against. All it means is that Von Miller didn't go up against the other highly rated offensive linemen. The only other one I can think of who he might have faced off against is Danny Watkins, and he's being projected to guard.

And I'm not a Solder fan at all. He looks like Bambi trying to walk across a frozen pond.

 

[Plankton]

Nate Solder is on the left, an opposing defender on the right.

Solder has a major strength deficiency. I am not a fan.

Why don't Okung, Williams, and Smith count?

Goose was on Norm, and said he ranked 1) Tyron Smith, 2) JJ Watt, and 3) Castanzo in this order with respect to each other (Not overall ranking).
