Walker Little?

[panthers320]

What are people's take on Walker Little? Is he worth the risk in the 2nd? He was looking like a stud in 2018 before he got hurt in 2019 then opted out. He may be rusty but could be a steal.

[Pup McBarky]

Would prefer Mayfield or Eichenberg in the 2nd. Little seems like a bust to me, but what do I know?

Probably PTSD from selecting a tackle named Little in the second round

Yikes!

Hasnt played in 2 years (basically) but I like him.  Beware OTs from the Pac 10, however.  It seems that some are horribly overrated.   Give me the OL from the Big 10.

That is the reason I think Sewell (a good one) and Slater are closer than you think.

Not a fan of Walker Little. We need someone who is ready to start day one with a high floor, not a high ceiling/unknown floor prospect like Little.

1. Sewell
2. Slater
3. Eichenberg
4. Darrisaw
5. Teven Jenkins

I like Little some, as in 4th round love. Unless theres a insane run on OT and hes there in the 3rd round, sure.

I did catch some of the pro-day, he didnt look NFL ready. I know there was some 2019 1st smoke and then he had a injury AND then he opt-outed. He looked like a drive bar bouncer and his numbers where meh as well. But Im an line-whore(mainly DL) and he plays OT, so why the hell not.

Yeah, Walker is a borderline top 10 talent at tackle imo but I like less heralded guys like Brady Christensen and Jackson Carman more.

This is a group of informed posters--nice and refreshing. 

By piecing together things I have learned from you all over the past few months and watching the available video of these players, I think we have to look at T as a 2 starter process that should be addressed this off season. 

Moton (according to some of you) wants LT money in the $20-23m range.  Not a good look for a RT.  8 years ago that was elite QB money.  I think we need to draft a LT in round 1, and a RT later to take over in 2022.  There are a lot of young RTs later in this draft and we could be developing one NOW.   So when I see RTs in the middle rounds, I start frothing at the mouth like a rabid rabbit.

Here are some I really like:

2nd round:  Mayfield (some have a first-round grade, but I have him around #40, which is great.  Would we draft 2 OTs at 1 and 2 during the same year?  Doubtful, but he is a swing T and is very mechanically sound.

3rd round:  Carman is interesting because he is a G or RT--which means he could play either...Radunz would be a great developmental RT to draft in round 3 because if our LT every went down, he could switch over without losing too much...

4th/5th  round:  Spencer Brown from N. Iowa should be there early day 3, and at 6'9" and 320 lbs, he is a bigun.  James Hudson (Cincy) and Brady Christensen (BYU) would be nice additions in this range.  Not starters for now, but they will be one day. Remember, D'Ante Smith (ECU) was at the SR Bowl with our staff, and this is about where he starts getting love.

6th/7th round:  Tommy Doyle (Miami Ohio) is a big swing T who has a nasty demeanor.  Former Hockey player.  Josh Ball (Marshall) is a former 4-star recruit who signed with Florida State before transferring to Marshall.  He has a ton of upside, and he may not be drafted.  I think he could start in the NFL in a year or two.

Ive been contemplating this as well. Insurance for Moton is a lowkey need. Especially if hes seeking that large of a contract.

Got to put James Hudson somewhere on this list, he maybe in the top 5.....

[OldhamA]

I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole I'm afraid.

He's one of those picks that if someone takes him and he turns into an All-Pro you just have to shrug your shoulders and applaud.

Dude hasn't played football for two years. It's a no from me.

Good call.  Your last comment is a huge red flag for me.  He was kinda average before that.

These LT prospects are where a lot of big mistakes have been made.  For me with OL you pick production not potential.
