id like oher to start but idk if he will and this guy was one of the best pass blockers in college

You might be right. It may be better to let Oher just be a back up and maybe come in as an extra blocker on occasion. Assuming that either Moton or Williams can lock down the RT spot, that is.

WTF was that interview?  the media asking some of the dumbest questions.  Last book he read, ask him if he had a walk up song.  Jeebus christ asked him how many times hes seen The Blind side.

So what's new? They always ask dumb questions.

I like this pick. I wish we had drafted more lineman. Injuries on the oline are common and quickly ruin a season if you don't have reliable backups. This guy could be a really important player for us.

Is Williams just not going to be a starter for us?

i say oher is done, so hopefully this guy makes the team and we figure it out from there

any picks from this point on are crapshoots

Williams is still in play for RT, competiton want hurt the team.

Although Williams has better movement to play outside more so than Morton.

I like this kid a lot, you can tell he's an intelligent guy. Don't think him learning the playbook is going to be a problem. I gotta admit I was skeptical him being a small school guy but he's huge and intelligent. Gotta like those odds.

Pretty bright also. Didn't have any weird ticks while speaking. I like my o line well read...and big as fug

Wish we could have also picked up J. Davenport in the 4th. Nice little combo of OTs

[IGSaint]

He's in PFF's top 10 value picks. https://www.profootballfocus.com/draft-10-best-value-picks-of-the-2017-nfl-draft/

Please be become our rt forever

He's the much-more-athletic version of Daryl Williams.

He'll be the starter at RT much sooner than you think.  I think we'll look back and think of Moton as the Trai Turner of this draft class.

He is no tubby either ..power right again they can't stop it ready break !!

• His intelligence will get him on the field sooner.  I think Oher could be done--the team did not want to announce it before the draft because it would tip their hand quite a bit.  This kid could be starting this year.
