I like Brown too. At least as a swing type guy. But I think Pierce can develop into a damn good tackle, right or left. Preferably left.

I think Pierce could start, actually. He's very underrated in my book.

If you scroll down you will see Lance Zierlein had Guyton with a 1st round grade and Pierce with a 5th round grade.

What's his grade now, though?

I'd say round 3 for Pierce...and about 3 for Guyton hindsight. But Guyton was a RT...Pierce plays LT. Correction, Pierce also played RT. But successfully switched to LT.

I just think he looks like the better player. I know you're a fan of Guyton. I'm just not sold on him.

Highlight videos are always great, but I trust the words of those who study these players more.

Hollins has an inconsistent anchor, he oversets at times, his change of direction is lacking, he takes poor angles that allow linebackers to avoid his blocks, he falls off blocks because of excessive leaning in the running game and he needs work on timing his punches.

Those are Brugler's words, not mine. He is a monster, though, and was singled out by coaches for his "dedication to technique," so maybe he can fix his technique issues.

Brugler has him as a fifth-round value.

He was a 450 lb walk on. And, yes, a bit raw. But smart and coachable. I mean, I'm not trying to burn round 1. But these are the types of players Dallas loves.

This guy or Waletzko?

I take Pierce, easily. I'd say round 3...

Honestly, you can pick apart his game all you want but his production speaks for itself.

Speed rushers are going to eat Pierce alive in the NFL. At best I think he is an average to slightly below average starting RT. I think he ceiling is Steele. Guyton is definitely a better prospect. And Im not a fan od Guyton
