After his pro day, Cosmi won't likely be there. He's pretty much solidified his spot as a top tackle.

And there's no need to trade up for a tackle if we get one in free agency. You don't just throw picks away like that.

Most likely that will be the case now, which makes the pursuit of Williams even more intelligent. There’s some good OT prospects in the upcoming draft, but I’d rather see us protect the franchise with a proven, elite LT, with some of these OT’s stock rising for the upcoming draft.

Walker Little sounds like the guy I want. Sounds like he has a really high ceiling. Is there any chance he will still be there for our 3rd round pick?

Possibly, but probably not.

He'd be a great fit for a future LT.

IF we sign Williams though, it'd be premature to immediately draft his successor. Williams will be here for 3-4 years, and by the time he leaves you'd be at the end of Little's rookie contract.

But maybe.

Every week there is a former NFL offensive line coach, Paul Alexander, that Pat Kerwan and Jim Miller have on their show on Sirius NFL Channel on the radio. They were going through the OT's yesterday, and Alexander is very high on Radunz form North Dakota State. Incredibly smart, and already know all of the moves of nearly every NFL DE. Alexander said that puts him way ahead of the curve. Said his technique is very good as well. I thought it sounded like a guy we would be interested in.

We should really just sticky this thread and get familiar with the top 6-7. We are almost certainly taking an LT in the first; we don’t have the luxury of BPA this year, and it’s an okay year to have this particular need.

What are you going to do if they don't take an OT first?

Be confused?

If that coincides with no major FA signing and no trade for a LT, I hope you're a deeply religious man sending Pat prayers.

So, Mel had Walker Little to us at 31 a month ago. His pro day was nails.

I'm beginning to think if you gotta take a chance, do it on Little at 31 over doing it on some of the guys being talked about later on.

Will Little be there at 63? The more I think about his performance at his pro day, the less I do. Obviously concerns about 2 years of no football but the football tape is good and the pro day measurements are elite.

Is Mel off his rocker? Am I?

I think we should temper the excitement just a little bit. I like this tackle class, but of course everyone is going to have a good pro day.

Not everyone is going to rocket out of the Chiefs range.

It’s a weird spot I’m that 31 is probably too high and 63 is too low.

Maybe a qb falls and someone wants to trade up for him

It's very possible that Mac Jones falls and some team likes him but not enough to take him high or mid-first.

I could absolutely see Belichick liking him, for example.

also-

this is the time of year when everyone's projections go haywire and everyone is ROCKETING UP in draft projections.

There's still just 32 guys in that can be first rounders.

Most teams are short on weapons. To compete with the Kansas City's of the league, you'll have to score points.

Ideally you could trade down, pick up and extra 3rd and take a tackle.

I’m skeptical we can get a day one starting LT without trading UP for one but it’s not impossible
