I feel like we’d be starting 2 rookies on an OL for a team that was a contender last year and we’re going backwards.Tyler Smith I thought was solid as a rookie at LT, did have some penalties, but we knew that was going to happen. The coaches felt confident in Tyler to leave him at LT when Tyron came back from injury...I'm sure they still feel that Tyler can play LT at a high level. Year two, he was tremendous and going into year three he will be most confident lineman not named Zack. So, moving him back to LT really shouldn't be an issue.
So, for fun let's say we end up selecting Barton in the 1st and then have the opportunity to pick Frasier in the 2nd? Now, we are talking about having a powerful OL...how would you feel about that scenario? Even if the scenario presented itself, I'm sure the Braintrust would pass and look at another unit to add to.
LT Tyler Smith, LG Barton, C Frasier, RG Martin, RT Steele
I'm sure Frazier will be off the board before we pick in the 2nd, but the draft is funny, and we see players slide every year for numerous reasons.
You’re also assuming Tyler will be as good at LT as he was at LG which I’m not sure he will be. He struggled at LT as a rook and led the league in penalties.
For a team that is “all in” this would be a horrific approach IMO.
