So this guy has been considered the best tackle in college for the past 3 years.....kinda. Junior year, he tore his ACL. he was supposed to be the first tackle off the board in the 2017 draft so Garrett Boles ended up in Denver. He comes back senior year and ends up having back surgery. He is now having a strong season and walter football lists him as the 3rd best tackle. This is a guy that could be an option if he slips to us or we end up picking later than usual in the first round. Ultimately, i'd like him in the 2nd round due to injury risk.  |

Yeah I'm not touching this guy till day 2 because of said injury risk.
We probably are out of the Thomas range ultimately so that would leave my boy Wirfs probably the most realistic OT if Gettleman decides to buck his trend of waiting till mid rounds for O line like he has in the past

He's got great size and technique, and for his height, that can be a challenge leverage wise (as it was for Solder), but missing a year from a back injury that required surgery? The ACL is a go for me if a team doctor gives the clear, but I had spinal fusion, two levels, and if was a fusion....easy pass till risk reward cross paths... maybe 5th round? Imagine a guy who is 6'8...and has to bend down a bit to block violent exchanges...with a bad back?
Anybody know exactly what they did to him with the back surgery? Laser? A year seems awfully long for a laser on a bulge....

Yet I'm already seeing him in the top 15 in some mocks...I forgot about the back issue...no bueno(Tyron Smith is having issues every year because of it ) |
