Say when player get drafted and the draft analyst that are hosting say they could’ve got him in round two, then people will start roasting the pick.

So if we had drafted Darrisaw who played left tackle or Sewell who was in the same boat then would it still a problem? Or is it more of a problem because the analyst said that we could’ve gotten him in the second round also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was being leaked that he was who the team wanted and before any pundits could say well that is a strange pick many in here were saying if that is true then... Although we do not all watch as much film as the professionals it is a huge red flag when we can look at the pick and know we have tried it before and it failed. Athletic LT that never played RT expected to make the leap from college to the pros and many had ranked below other players still available. I hope Leatherwood - Darrisaw/Jenkins does not end up like Parker - Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrisaw could have growing pains if asked to transition but he was a much better LT than Leatherwood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this means he's a roster caliber player. 5 hours ago, Turnobili said: bounceback year from Hayward would be nice He should be fine as long as he has help over the top.

That doesn’t indicate that they will be better right tackles because they were better left tackles(See Brandon Parker or Donald Penn for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe some of us actually watch games and weren’t impressed of him. also we more than likely could’ve traded down with minn and still got him. Maybe let’s not crown him after a practice you know and see how he does in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my biggest issue with Cable and think he has wasted talent and draft capital trying to stick to his measurables BS. If none has ever played the position and all I have to go off of is their play at LT I would go with the best LT. Now there are other factors to take into consideration but the play on the field would be the best indicator. I think Jenkins has the highest floor at RT and Darrisaw the highest ceiling at RT. I am not counting Sewell because he was not available and could very easily be a better LT than Miller. Sewell has even said that the transition to RT is not that easy.
