Imagine if they drafted Tristan Wirfs instead of taking Kinlaw. They would have one of the best tackle combinations of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent is the best LT in the league right Now, he had an all time great season at that position last year. Wirfs is the best RT. When has a team ever had both?

They would have one of the best tackle combinations of all time I did do this in our "Are you smarter than" draft that year, but the truth is that with McG in the fold and still under control for 3 years (all on a rookie deal + 5th year option), it was probably always going to be either / or for those two. I still took Wirfs because I was fine with turning him into a guard and playing him at RG for few years if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent is the best LT in the NFL no question, regardless of age. He’s been the best LT majority of seasons his entire career when healthy. First ballot.

Arguments for most years during Trents career could of been made for other LT like Joe Thomas, Tyron Smith, David Bakhtiri, Jason Peters and yes even Rashawn Slater last season as a rookie. Was Trent fantastic in 2021 at age 33 absolutely. His one and only AP season. Let's be clear. Edited July 25, 2022 by Nabbs4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had some health issues, and no desire to play for Washington, but he is back to being the #1 OT in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 That's a big no on Trent Williams superiority. Dude has 1 first team All Pro and 1 second team. When healthy (14+ games) means 6 seasons out of 12? 2 out of 12 for 16 games. He was inferior to Peters for a long time. (2010-2014) Duane Brown was probably better for a while (2011-2014) He was inferior to Bakhtiari for a long time. (2016-2020) Armstead was probably better 2018-2020 Wirfs is better now 2020-2021 We will see going forward on young guys like Slater He's in the mix for top 4 LT most years like lots of guys. He played really well in 2021 and has some highlight reel plays during his career.. He's probably a HoF player. He was almost never the best.

I don't think anyone had him #1 from 2012 - 2015 when Joe Thomas beat him out as all-pro every single year. I don't think he was #1 in 2019 when he didn't play, or even 2016 - 2017 become questionable as he missed 10 games over those two years. Williams is a great LT, but he was maybe the top one like 2 of those seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
