I know Peters leaving left a hole at LT.
There were 3 guys in this Draft who could have started at LT this year. #2 pick Smith, #6 pick Smith & #8 pick Monroe. Smith of Cinci may even start his career inside at G.
Britton,Loadhoat and all the rest don't have the feet for LT and are viewed as RT's. We already have that type in Walker, Chambers, Butler & Scott.
Even Michael Oher was described by Mike Lombardi as a good RT prospect who could play LT in a pinch. Nice story but he has a laundry list of issues.
Grade the picks we made for what they are in their own ability but quit feeding me this post draft review tripe that we failed to draft a top LT..WHEN THERE WEREN'T ANY LEFT AT #11.
We don't need a 4th-5th string RT in Round One.
So we make do with shuffling our roster internally at Tackle and meanwhile, draft 5 guys (Maybin,Wood,Levitre,Byrd & Nelson) at positions of need who may help us a lot very early in their careers.
Yeah..that's real tough to accept. Time will tell but I'm VERY encouraged with this draft and no LT prospect came into our reach.
But keep perpetuating the invented hysteria...it plays well to the uninformed.
