I think most generalizations are silly though. However, the lack of information/knowledge fans have regarding football/team philosophies/coaching, I don't really mind it. When people like to make ridiculous comparisons or post bland stats here without context to rationalize their point, it becomes irritating (see posts about Geno's 20+ accuracy, as an example). I suppose the generalization could be made that LTs drafted early are more ready to step in and play from a fan's perspective and they'd have numerous instances to support that (Matt Kalil for example). However, that's probably due to a variety of different factors and doesn't mean that every LT drafted early is ready to go. |

Another factor to consider is in comparison to most positions, there aren't a lot of technically deficient but super athletic prospects taken early for LTs and expected to contribute, as opposed to other positions (Poe, as an example). I would say that your closest comparison to that this year would be Terron Armstead but he isn't going above Joeckel, Fisher, or Johnson despite being more gifted athletically. You could see that happen with other positions though (again, Poe over Fletcher Cox last year) but generally, it doesn't happen with LT prospects in the 1st round.

2) The Dolphins will be concentrating on the draft. Not on player visits and physicals. |

Per TJ Carpenter
Talked with John Dorsey after presser. On trading back up in 2nd, "I view it as, we used our 2nd round pick, and that's Alex Smith." |

So I'm not sure you're right that the Chiefs will have lost all their leverage. If we end up with both Albert and Joeckel/Fisher, we're in great OL shape. |

Left tackles that are drafted in the high first almost always start right away and play at a high level. Clady Long Thomas Now, does that mean it's ALWAYS the case? No, of course not...but far more first round OTs come in and play well right away than almost any other position. The whole ****ing point is that we should want a major upgrade at a position with the top pick and the best we can probably hope for is how Albert played last year...it's a lateral move that saves cash and pays a second round dividend. Nothing more. Quote:
