When will they draft a tackle?
When will they draft a tackle to add into this mix?
Alex, what does your work tell you about the tackles in this class?
It's not a good tackle class.
That's what it tells me.
It's an interesting one, though.
There's a bunch of like, hey, if you squint and turn your head sideways on some of these guys, you're like.
That guy could be really good.
And it starts at the top, right?
Like you look at the first two, the guys that are ranked as the top two tackles and Francis Maui, Noah out of Miami and Spencer Fano out of Utah.
And they don't have a lot of length.
Like they, they went to the combine and I think,
Spencer Fano had under 32-inch arms.
And the thought is those guys might have to slide into tackle or slide into guard or center.
And because of that, I think a guy like Monroe Freeling out of Georgia who doesn't have the experience, only 16 starts, and yes, he did improve a lot, but his run blocking is kind of lagging behind his pass blocking and is still raw in a lot of areas.
He's catapulting all the way up into the top 15.
Wow.
Are we going to see Caden Proctor get drafted in the top 15 or Caleb Lomu out of Utah or Blake Miller out of Clemson?
Guys that would probably be like that second-round grade find their way into the first round.
Because of positional need and traditional philosophy.
