Who Would You Pick for a Round 1 or 2 Left Tackle?

Steele is not going anywhere this year.

most probably not unfortunately....

He could be an expensive swing tackle or maybe move him to guard, since run blocking is his strength.

I think it's 3rd round. JMO.

Better value. You can get a line player or CB in round 2 and it's better value for RB in round 3, especially in this draft.

Then you are gambling and maybe waiting until the 5th. We tried waiting last year and it did not work out.

he has totally lost all lateral mobility a pre-requisite for tackles...perhaps to your point, he still has straight ahead power and needs less alteral mobility at the guard spot. not a bad idea...hmmmm

Josh Simmons is by far the best pure LT in the class

Am i the only one intrigued by what #62 Nathan Thomas brings to the O-Line this year. I think he could be the answer at RG if healthy. Seem to remember reading where he played with a mean streak in college as an OT. Personally, I think if an O-Lineman is drafted it'll be an OT to help push Wally off the roster.

I'm cool with that. Deep draft. You can take two and let competition work it out.

It all starts up front.

I’d want to trade back in the first - probably twice - before I picked a tackle in the first or second. I like Zabel or Conerly at 44, if either falls that far.
