Britt's a great story, but he's still not an elite guy. He doesn't have the feet for it.
The teams that pull the elite recruits are able to keep someone like Britt at RT or even G. Mizzou has made him a credible LT at an extremely high level, but that's still not ideal.
Ideal is getting guys like Rhodes with regularity so that if one of them doesn't develop like you'd prefer, you have another guy with the bulk and athleticism to step up. If that player hits his ceiling, he's elite.
Britt, unlike so many, actually hit his ceiling. If we can get more talented players to do the same, we're going to be better off (obviously). That's the next step I want to see in the program.
