Let's talk offensive line needs

Where does he get drafted?

I see him as one of those guys that could play OT or OG.

He is a sophomore that is now thought of as possible top 10 selection.
He is not viewed as an OG but as a franchise OT. --may have to play RT early.

I guess I'm an idiot because I'd be on board with this as I think sustain drives to keep the opposing offense off the field and building early leads improves the defense. But my support is qualified: only if the draft board warrants it. I'm a proponent of BPA but if an OL and DL are ranked similarly, I likely go with the DL for some of the aforementioned reasons.

Time of possession means zero if the other team is scoring at will.

Long, time-consuming drives are sweet. Loved it versus the Bears.
Except their short, brutal 15 yards a play drives were more efficient, more effective and more deadly.

We lost by a mile.

There are now several OL that are projected to go top 20. I think some of them go lower.

I used the Guard reference as a way that the Cowboys could more easily justify taking an OT. They played Flozell at OG originally.

Love fifteen.
