Andrei01 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 4 hours ago, SerenityNow said: I was just talking to somebody about this the other day. Everybody beats the drum for Fashanu's high upside, but Alt's high upside at 21 years old gets completely lost because he was already dominating at the college level and his upside is just as high if not higher than Fashanu's because you've already seen him dominate in both pass pro and the run game. Not to mention he comes from a pedigree of a Dad that was a pro bowl tackle in the league. I just don't know how you pass on him at 7 if he's there. I love everything about him. Fashanu is like two months older than Alt. It's not like either has hit their ceiling already. It'd be impossible, since neither has actually measured up to NFL life yet. 4 hours ago, KingTitan said: Analytically, he is the best player to take. Should be a great pro. If he doesn't work out, then I'd just assume something went terribly wrong, opposed to him not being able to play. I do think there will be a guy or two that we don't pick, and we will look back in a few years and say, DAMN, wish we picked him. lol Not to say we should pick them over Alt, but just saying say Odunze, Bowers or Latu end up being HOF players. While Alt is a good player that hits a pro bowl here and there. I'm sure we'd love that for Alt, but just an observation. Likely someone really pops that we pass on. It happens. lol If that happens, Ideally, we would've rethought our Draft strategy long before we can find it out. Like, drafting Lewan 2.0 doesn't sound bad at all, but the two following picks after Lewan 1.0 were Odell Beckham Jr. and Aaron Donald, so it'd still suck to look back on the pick 10 years from now and say "sure, he was a pretty good pick, but what if we landed the best defensive player of all time instead?". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 2 hours ago, 615finest said: Listening to that draft presser I’m starting to think we aren’t goin tackle at 7. They always talk about how deep the class is and said there’s starting OTs in every round. Then they said they prefer OTs who can play both sides and we all knw Alt is LT. Also compared WR depth to last years draft.. I don’t remember last years draft much tho. Was it a deep class? Smith-Njiba. Addison. Flowers. Johnston all 1st round. Mingo. Reed. Rashee Rice in the 2nd. Tank Dell. Hyatt. Tillman. Downs. In 3rd. Wicks and Pucka in 5th. All of them produced fairly well if not excellently. So I guess it was deep from 1st to 5th with true enough producers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanRedd Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I really think we’re trading down unless MHJ or Nabers fall to 7 which I don’t see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Height alone shouldn't be a disqualifier. I get that it can hamper, but only if it impacts the rest of his athleticism and flexibility. I don't see that with Alt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tallest OT's. I think enough of these guys have had success. Not all franchise guys but a good number of Above average/Pro-Bowlish OTs Name Height Weight Team Caleb Jones 6’9″ 370 Packers Daniel Faalele 6’8″ 380 Ravens Dawand Jones 6’8″ 375 Browns Trent Brown 6’8″ 370 Patriots Jordan Mailata 6’8″ 365 Eagles Orlando Brown 6’8″ 345 Bengals Rob Havenstein 6’8″ 330 Rams Cornelius Lucas 6’8″ 328 Commanders Kolton Miller 6’8″ 325 Raiders Matt Waletzko 6’8″ 320 Cowboys Luke Tenuta 6’8″ 314 Packers Spencer Brown 6’8″ 311 Bills Mike McGlinchey 6’8″ 310 Broncos Stone Forsythe 6’8″ 307 Seahawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer trade out, but they seem high on Lathum. Also vibes with the press conference yesterday of them thinking guys who play RT in college can move over to LT.

KingTitan Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Come on home Odunze. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I have a bad feeling we’re going Latham at 7. Alt goes 5, Nabers at 6, and we overdraft Latham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I am about a tackle over a receiver, I would take Odunze over Latham in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
