Are our WRs a little shorter? Yeah. Don't act like Alabama gets to play Navy though. And our tackles match up pretty well.

Texas A&M tackles are listed as #1 and #3 for this upcoming draft. Where's Notre Dame's ranked at?

That's right...nowhere. Notre Dame's tackles aren't in the same league. The advantage you have is that Bama doesn't have a disruptive pass rusher so the disadvantage at tackle is negated somewhat. Georgia has Jarvis Jones however.

Martin is a redshirt Junior. And Lombard is a redshirt Sophmore. They won't be on your list. In 2014 Martin is 8th and in 2015 Lombard is 10th.

And last time I checked.....draft position doesn't mean shit reerun. We were talking about size.

Martin is a Senior. Lombard is a Junior. Both would be listed for draft position as both of Texas A&M's linemen are Juniors.

Size doesn't matter if you don't have the skill to play it. I have no doubt that Martin and Lombard are adequate tackles. You don't go undefeated with poor tackles. But they're not on the same level as Joeckel and Matthews.

I'm going off of the link you posted.

And I never said they were better or the same in talent. I said they were similar in size.

You said they match up well. If you were referring just to size I apologize but that's not the way I read it. Reaper was talking about size at WR but I took him as talking about skill at the tackle position. I figured you were responding in the same vein.

They are similar in size. But Texas A&M's tackles match up better vs. Alabama/Georgia's D-line than Notre Dame's tackles do.

Yes. Exactly correct.

Also it's odd that Notre Dame's official website would have that wrong.

It might be that they're basing everything off of years of eligibility.

Martin is a Junior redshirt....so 4 years which would make him a Senior. If he stays....he'd a be a 5th year Senior.

Or the draft website could be wrong.

Who knows....
