finger width cannot be overcame... it defines a playerI don't watch college ball much..but accord to the stats they showed during the draft, this guy and Alt both only gave up 2 sacks and this guy played like 12 more games...
But I'd have to check pinky finger measurements to see how well he'd do at a different position.
cant argue factsSure he "can." But he hasn't played there. We took a project OL 2 straight years early in the first round. You can't make this **** up.
So you’re not a fan of Ski either?
hard to argue he was a “project”, same with Latham, if they were considered top OL picks.
I like Pete a lot. I loved him as a LT prospect. He seemed like he had the ability to play guard. But wasn't guard. So he was indeed a project.
Latham likewise is a RT. We have no idea if he can handle LT. If the plan is to play him at LT, then he will be project as well.
Here's a novel idea. Draft players that actually have experience playing the position you are drafting them for.
I'm fine with the Colts getting Latu. He's a good dude though.
Another Paye they got.

Absolutely everyone who actually played in the NFL that I have heard says switching sides is nowhere near as big a deal as the media likes to make it.
Frankly, if Latham fails on the left, he likely would have failed on the right too.
Dude has massive upside, and one of the best o line coaches in league history. I suspect he'll be adequate at worst.
if Titans picked at 5, which was best a L to the tarpkitties could have gotten IIRC, same tankers would be crying about not tanking harder for the WR
Nope.

It's ironic that the same doctor that cleared him was Peyton's doctor.
The idea that the chargers were going to take a wide receiver was questionable at best anyway.
No argument for that strategy.I like Pete a lot. I loved him as a LT prospect. He seemed like he had the ability to play guard. But wasn't guard. So he was indeed a project.

I’ll give the Callahan’s benefit of the doubt that when they say Latham was their guy and he’s going to be LT, I’ve got some faith.
Jacksonville really going to get CB Mitchell if the Seahawks don't get him.
I’d have bought that hype after they took Johnston last year with Williams and Allen, then losing Williams and Allen leaves only “hands” Johnston.The idea that the chargers were going to take a wide receiver was questionable at best anyway.

Why not? They lost Williams and Allen. I would've never thought they would get Alt. Either Nabors or Bowers should've been their pick.

And Johnston is awful. Fuck Harbaugh and the Chargers.
I mean, Herbie’s been getting his a$$ beat or may be fragile coming off his injury. OL makes sense too.And Johnston is awful. **** Harbaugh and the Chargers.
Gotcha. Only WR, they always pan out. G definitely does not.
Never said that, Mr. Strawman. Guards are a dime a dozen, and they aren’t nearly as crucial as other positions on the team.
My point has nothing to do with position. If the team gets a guy that can play, who cares if they were taken in the first or if they were even a G in the first.Never said that, Mr. Strawman. Guards are a dime a dozen, and they aren’t nearly as crucial as other positions on the team.
Titans have next to a zero success rate with first round picks over the last 5-10 years sans Simmons.
Glad to pick a guy that actually looks like a contributor.
Shouldn't you be out starting fires at this point? I should see the flames from here on the east coast of Virginia. Don't be a disappointment.Never said that, Mr. Strawman. Guards are a dime a dozen, and they aren’t nearly as crucial as other positions on the team.

It’s about to be General Sherman up in here.
