After taking Lorenzo Booker, it would have been overkill to me to take DeShawn Wynn. Also, there's a reason Brandon Siler fell that far and trust me when I say that we do NOT know it yet. We're talking about a guy that was easily projected as a first day pick for a matter of a few years...and he falls all the way to the 7th without a sniff.
The tackle thing surprised me but it isn't quite as surprising now that we know their plan. I mean, Cameron made it pretty clear. He doesn't like 330 pound men at guard positions. He obviously decided that he was going to move L.J. Shelton AND Joe Toledo both back out to tackle where they belong...and what does that do? Gives us a total of like 5 tackles (Carey, Alabi, Shelton, Toledo, Rosenthal), with chopped liver along the interior (Stevenson, Liwienski, Hadnot, Ingram).
Now, this is just speculation on my part but I think it's pretty reasonable speculation, but I'm guessing that given that knowledge, and what we knew we had to do with those first two picks in the draft (Ted Ginn Jr., then quarterback)...I'm guessing they pretty much figured they're never going to be able to draft some tackles that are better than Carey, Shelton, Toledo, Alabi, and Rosenthal....but they can damn well draft some guards and centers that are better than Stevenson, Liwienski, Hadnot, and Ingram.
Who among tackles was available at #60? The best ones were James Marten and Doug Free, IMO. They obviously felt that Samson Satele was a might bit better of a center/guard prospect than Marten and Free were tackles, and Satele would be a whole lot more likely to be able to impact the team with guys like Liwienski, Stevenson, and Ingram ahead of him than Marten/Free would be able to with guys like Carey, Shelton, Toledo, and Alabi ahead of him. At #181...well, I'll be honest. I could try and argue that Adam Koets impacts more at tackle than Mormino at C/G, but really...with Shelton, Carey, Alabi, Toledo, and even Rosenthal ahead of him? I mean, taking Koets means moving some of those guys back inside and I don't think that is something they wanted to do, ideally.
Personally, I'm ALL ON BOARD with the Carey at LT thing. I graded him as our best left tackle two years ago when the coaching staff originally tried him there. Don't allow the media to convince you that he was a failed experiment at left tackle two years ago. The failed experiment was Stockar McDougle. Damion McIntosh expressed a CLEAR level of discomfort with his technique playing on the right side of the line, meanwhile Vernon Carey expressed a clear PREFERENCE for his technique playing on the right side of the line, and with Stockar McDougle stinking like week-old fish heads in tupperware, it was the SMART move to make...putting Carey back at RT and allowed McIntosh to play LT.
After that, I'm really kind of interested in what Shelton can do at RT, and if not him...to be honest, and I know he's walking wounded...but I'm interested in what Toledo can do there. I'm also fully interested in what they think Toledo can do at backup left tackle, which is where they were playing him in this last mini-camp before his foot acted up.
