Thoughts on Drafting Offensive Tackles High In The First Round

[Trip]

Joekel was fukkin TERRIBLE for us last year. Just TERRIBLE.

Jacksonville struggles with the first round....that's a problem.

Rams wouldn't have won the Super Bowl if we didn't take Orlando first overall.

But then Jason Smith happened.

This can be said about any position. As long as there's a draft there will be guys who don't live up to their expectations. It's the way of life.
Shout out to LeCharles too. Former Saint

Interesting article. I thought tackle was the safest pick and most tackles taken high worked out. I guess that's not true for recent picks.

I'll always draft d/o line high before skill positions. Teams that draft top 5 and take a wr deserve to stay in purgatory

I dont think there's rhyme or reason there...just the past two drafts have been deeper at receiver.
