Thread: The Top Tackles of the 2017 Draft Class

I think this draft is a great RT class but lacking the LT guys. Why i think the tackles are all rated as late 1st to early 2nd guys. Plus the fact there aee so many good defensive prospects.

Duck you autocorrect, I'm sick of your shirt.

For me cam is definitely a LT, he has the best kick out of them all and once he gets his hands on the defender it is over. He is the only guy I would takeThe at 20 if we went OL with the pick.

Per the talking head evaluators...he has poor feet and is beat by speed rushers.

Yeah, he has those death-mitts. But his kick is inconsistent from what I saw. Leans on his strength, and doesn't always work his hands like a pro. A guy like Ware would eat him alive with better hand technique and trickeration.

He hung with the number 1 pick blow for blow.

So did the southern methodist left tackle.

Robinson had a lot of TE help

Bolles may be the top tackle target but its time for smoke and mirrors

Hard to get film on a OT.

Several scouting rwports mention howard helping. Which is why hiwaed is considered an all around TE who can block. This link lists te help under weakness.

Bama vs tenenesse

Robinson does not stand out as best blocker on that line. Bama runs over center to right side a lot. Do see a lot of run plays with overloaded left side te or 2 te outside of robinson.

Pass on Bolles. If selected in the 1st, the kid will be 30 by his second contract. Guilty of age discrimination.........so what!

The years of playing flootball would have an equal impact on his body. So, when he's 30 he'll likely have the same mileage left that other tackles would at 28. Hypothetically, he should be a viable tackle into his mid 30's. Besides, if we get 5 years of quality production from him it will be worth the #20 pick. He has a lot of upside and should he a good blind side protector.
