I’m a huge fan of his and believe he has the potential and talent to end up the best tackle out of this class. However, I’m concerned about his injury history, especially being a guy that size with that athleticism. Even some of the comparison I’ve seen for him (Tyron Smith, Marcus McNeil, Jammal Brown, Cam Robinson) are guys who’ve battled injuries throughout their whole career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mims, in talent, and as a left tackle prospect, is right up there with Alt. But the lack of tape gives him a minor knock, and for the Titans specifically, that injury history scares me away from him completely. But if he turns out to be the best tackle from this whole class, I would not be surprised at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he only played like 12 games or something like that? Me not feeling like looking it up, what are is his injury history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin615$ Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Best I can see is ankle stuff. He had tightrope surgery to try and fix it and apparently goes in an out of snaps a lot due to knicks and/or needing breathers. I was thinking he'd go more so in late teens/20s but we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me not feeling like looking it up, what are is his injury history? 8 games, I think. And he I think was starting the season coming back from an injury, had a season ending injury against Alabama, and then injured himself running the 40 at the combine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Lathum has grown on me to the point where he might be my OT1. Everyone thinks he can flip to the left if need be and if not will make a great RT (that is growingly more important in the league). Has some things he needs to clean up but everyone feels a good OL coach will get that right. Fautanu is OT3. Something about Alt doesn't sit right with me. Can't shake it. But he is OT1A-B depending on the day you talk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have felt like Latham might be the guy for the Chargers if they do not go WR. It just seems like a better fit to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being able to play on the left side or not has more to do with technique and adapting it from playing on one side vs the other, and waaaaay less to do with being a good pass protector vs not. I also think concerns around his speed are a little overblown. Yes, he's slow, and that will mostly translate if and when he will be asked to block in open space, but in pass protection, he's pretty quick with his footwork and off the snap so much so that it doesn't really show. To put it in context a little, I'd be more concerned about Alt being able to handle NFL speed-to-power pass-rushers than Latham being able to handle speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Alt has shown to handle it, but I can just see an edge powering up and bulling him right over. I see it in my mind,lol Where I just see Lathum getting beat around the edge. Nobody is going through him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
