I see we're not the biggest fans from previous posts.

I don't see him that low but NFL stock exchange mocked him to us twice at 64.

I can't understate how enamored I am with trading up for Fautanu if he gets to 16. If somehow a team prefers him to Fashanu and he falls to that range, I'm all in. It would definitely take a 2nd plus, unless we can get the pick from Atlanta at 43.

With guards making $20 million now, I'd say a guy like Morgan, who's worst case scenario is a premium guard, IMO, is worthwhile if available at 32. Maybe his arms are too short for LT but hey, Mitch Schwartz had almost identical length and he was an All Pro caliber RT. If that's who Morgan is, you're more than happy with that pick.

If a great player falls because he MIGHT not be a LT, I think you have to keep him high on your board when the odds are pretty good that he's going to be a very good RT or G.

Thanks for the list, Crow. I still like mims the best around 20 if we can trade up for him. Mims is probably the 5th or 6th tackle off the board and that should give us the opportunity to trade up for him. If he didn’t have injury problems, he’s a top 5 pick most years with more experience. We just don’t get the opportunity to draft athletes like that with where we pick. It’s risky. I get it but if he pans out, he’s our LT for a decade. I’d try and draft Mims and let him compete with a veteran. Maybe push Morris inside if he can’t win the LT competition. Mims, Morris and a veteran could compete for the LT job.

Here's an update. If you think I'm off or not looking at someone, put it out there. I forget more than I remember anymore.

LT Prospects
1. Joe Alt, Notre Dame
2. Olu Fashanu, Penn State
3. Troy Fautanu, Washington
4. Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma
5. Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
6. Kiran Amegadjie, Yale
7. Patrick Paul, Houston
8. Brandon Coleman, TCU
9. Zion Nelson, Miami

RT Prospects
1. JC Latham, Alabama
2. Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State
3. Amarius Mims, Georgia (maybe LT conversion)
4. Blake Fisher, Notre Dame
5. Matt Goncalves, Pitt
6. Javon Foster, Missouri
7. Caeden Wallace, Penn State
8. Christian Jones, Texas
9. Walter Rouse, Oklahoma

OTs that will more than likely be OG/OCs
Jordan Morgan, Arizona
Graham Barton, Duke
Sataoa Laumea, Utah
Roger Rosengarten, Washington
Dominick Puni, Kansas
Garret Greenfield, South Dakota State
Delmar Glaze, Maryland
LaDarius Henderson, Michigan
Gottlieb Ayedze, Maryland
Nathan Thomas, Louisiana
Tylan Grable, UCF

Probably UDFAs
Julian Pearl, Illinois
Andrew Coker, TCU
Frank Crum, Wyoming
Josiah Ezirim, Eastern Kentucky
Ethan Driskell, Marshall
Anim Dankwah, Howard

Has anyone given thought to whether or not Josh Jones would be a FA fit?

Opinions?

Jordan Morgan is super athletic, but has shorter arms. I could see Andy liking the athleticism.

Is Blake Fisher more interesting now after losing Alegretti?

He's considered highly versatile and might be the depth guy we need to back our starters up?

I think he probably goes too high for us.

This was a great thread to make

Mims only had 8 career starts. How many players have been taking in the top 15 with less than 10 starts? I can’t think of any?

If he somehow fell to 32 I'd be screaming for the Chiefs to take him

Built awfully similar to Mitchell Schwartz.

One of the higher floors of anyone who could be available to us at 32. I wouldn't mind the pick even a little bit.

Was it this thread that the discussion of moving Juwaan Taylor to the left side was had?

How much of a possibility would that be? I read somewhere that he had some snaps with Jax (and U of Florida) at LT.

Wondering if this is something Andy/Heck would consider? Would allow a ton of flexibility.

If we move Sneed for the rumored 3rd, I think we spend that 3rd moving up for Thomas Jr or an OT, have had a gut feeling about Guyton for awhile now.

Dominick Puni played LT at Kansas, short arms so they will likely move him inside. Looks like a solid jack of all trades.
