His arms are slightly small so some think a move to OG may be in the books, but guys like Joe Thomas, Mitchell Schwartz, and plenty other good tackles have made it work.

Pretty odd that one of the most trusted draft experts as far as info goes says we really like him then, huh...

Just the other day i heard the giants were fairly high on Haskins. like a couple days later they werent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did, people wouldn't respect him like they do. Regardless, wouldn't just assume because he doesn't hit Marrones previous OL numbers he is off their board. He was a top 5 lock for the longest time and because he was always viewed as an elite OL prospect he seems to be getting dropped. Classic case of prospect fatigue.

Classic case of prospect fatigue. i dont see franchise LT with him. thats what u want when u draft a tackle top 10 or a probowl RT(im adjusting this cuz the titans with Lewan and conklin). let us not forget that most Bama OL tend to struggle when they get into the pros for whatever reason. the only 1 that has seemingly done pretty well recently i believe is the colts center ryan kelly. outside of kelly i dont recall a bama ol who was picked early(day 1 or day 2) that has performed to their expectations.

Speedyg Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Yeah if your "philosophy" has you ignoring Quentin Nelson because he's short by some random measurable, you probably need to revisit your philosophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
