I know everyone says he can play “all 5 spots” but he never played RT in college I know this doesn't mean a whole lot, but he was blocking for a lefty QB. So he was the blindside guy. Plus, if he can only play on the left, then play him there and Jones at RT. Either way, I think our run blocking is going to improve by a large margin with him.

He actually started 2 seasons at LT and one at LG so he wasn’t protecting Penix’s blind side. That’s what I’m saying - I want a guy with RT experience preferably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among OL: JPJ - 30.5 Fashanu - 14.5 Fuaga - 12.5 Latham - 14.5 Barton - 23.5 Mims - 24.5 So, and I do largely agree with the above ratings though I’ve mocked it differently here and there, the choice would be between Barton, JPJ, Mims, and WR/CB. Unless CB Mitchell is available or a top 3 WR falls to 20, it seems, in all honesty, I wouldn’t know what to do…lol…Barton? He is the most sure thing, but his projection to center is not. Wow. This is good stuff though, on point largely. Trade down and take Frazier, I’ll stick with that. DeJean is a wild card… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlon Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Everything is coming up Barton now….Kiper was one of the first to say he’d be the Steelers pick. I don’t know whether or not to give Mel credit or to interpret this as proof it won’t be that player…lol. He makes sense at 1-20 though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzburgh Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I really struggle to see them pass on one of the OTs or CBs that will probably make it to 20. Unless you believe Barton (or one of the other OCs) is a generational talent you can’t pass on one of these higher value picks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I believe too, but maybe the FO does see him as a generational talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
