A lot of the guys that 10-15 years ago would be second basemen and shortstops are becoming NFL corners. A lot of players that normally would be out fielders are choosing football and going the WR route. Same thing applies to quarterbacks. Even Patrick Mahomes 10 years ago is probably pitching in the majors right now. He’s a prime example of an arm talent that went the NFL route. |

As I said before if Niang is truly the Left Tackle for 2021 or future it opens up draft options considerably

If Niang is looked at as the long term fix at LT, then the best option is obviously to let the board play out and take calls to move back to the mid second to add another third unless a player falls that isn’t expected to.
The third round in this draft is going to be LOADED. |

Reaching for players out of panic causes issues. It's precisely how we ended up with Breeland Speaks. |

To my untrained eye, Niang appears to have more ability than Fisher, especially when Fisher was a rookie. I find it unlkely that he would be incapable of switching to LT and being effective, especially playing next to Thuney.

Then again it took like three years for Fisher to be effective.
That said I'm still hoping for Rashod Bateman in the first. He's as close to a Sammy replacement as I see in this draft. |

By contract, Luke Joeckel was considered not only the best LT prospect in that draft, especially over a small school guy like Fisher, and one of the better LT prospects in a long, long time. We all saw how that worked out. There's absolutely no reason to poo poo Niang at LT. For all we know, he's a poor man's Willie Roaf and we hit the freaking lottery in the 3rd round. |
