I don't love the OL prospects that'll be available. It just feels like they would either ride the bench at LT or start at OG.
Just because Tunsil did it it doesn't mean you'll find a year 1 iOL starter who can also start at LT next year.
If we pick Barton or Fuatanu or some other tweener I think we would end up with iOLs we wouldn't give a second contract to.
If we pick Latham or some other LT prospect, I'm afraid they would end up red shirting their rookie year.
An Edge or WR have better immediate impact than a LT and better long term positional value than an iOL.
It is reasonable to assume that there will be at least a couple available that do not require a redshirt year. Would I love Guyton to fall, of course, but I doubt that will occur.
Barton looks darn ready, he can play tackle but like Hunt he will be an All-Pro at guard.
Rosengarten looks impressive at the senior practice clips I've seen. SFO seems to like him quite a bit.
People like Fuaga quite a bit
Latham could be sitting there, but I worry he is a bit of a Leatherwood type player
Jackson Powers-Johnson looked impressive but he is guard/center only
People like Sumataia as well, but he is only a guard and attempt to keep him at tackle will be ugly.
Redshirt tackles
Watch the kid from Yale Amegagjie, his feet and wingspan are impressive.
Patrick Paul out of Houston needs a little work but the tools are there.
