2020 NFL Draft Offensive Tackle Tiers

You don't think he will be available at #30? There are a lot of players many see as more likely first round picks. I wouldn't be surprised if he is there. Anyway, as nice as it would be getting somebody in the O Line like that, I still prefer going D Line with the first pick.

Becton has been a big riser, especially after the Combine. He has super long arms, is very fast/athletic, and goes about 360. I'm seeing a lot of mocks with him as the #2 or #3 OT and likely top 10 pick. He won't last to #30 unless he balloons to 400 pounds or something else off-field happens.

I think those who were unhappy with the M3 OL are going to be unhappy with the MLF OL... they run more zone, so they want athletes, not road-grading brutes. Those types of players tend to be leaner, lighter guys like Spriggs or Darren Colledge as opposed to Larry Warford. In theory an athletic guy is more likely to be able to handle speed rushers as well as get to the 2nd level and hit a moving target.

Others who understand the vagaries of line play can add to that, but MLF is more zone than power, and I think the roster will reflect that.

Josh Jones is a 50/50 to be there at 30. It depends on how the board falls (i.e., when the run on OTs starts) and if someone in the 20's really loves him. I'd be reluctant to trade up for anyone... they have limited cap space and need to fill some holes on the roster. Moving up in R1 costs considerable important draft capital unless Gute can trick someone into taking a bunch of R6 & R7 picks (unlikely).

I hope that Pack selects an OL in the first just for the sure hilarity that would ensue from APB.

For my money, I would rather move up in the second round and draft Prince Tega Wanogho from Auburn.

Like I said at the top, the first four guys will not be available unless the Packers get crazy and move up into the top twenty.

I am pretty much on board with this plan too. Try to trade down 10 spots, grab another pick or two, package those to have 3 picks in the top 75.

I want to be a smartass and say it'd be great to build a great offensive line so Rodgers can dance around for thirty seconds while Geronomo Allison and Jake Kumerow and MVS labor to separate from their coverage and Rodgers finally throws the ball away, but it never hurts to grab a starting offensive tackle in a second round if you can get one.

LOL maybe they could go to 8 man protections and just send out Aaron Jones and Davante to run patterns.

Speaking of road graders, or guys who were supposed to be - what ever happened to Chance Wormack? I see he's looking for work after a year off. Top 10 pick who lasted 4 years with his initial team after they didn't pick up the option. 2 years as a part timer with another team. Took a year off and is back now (with Seattle) for maybe vet minimum. Non-skill positions aren't supposed to flame out like that!

Warmack was reasonably effective as a rookie, but tailed off afterward. He's 29 now, so he's not really starter quality, it makes sense he'd struggle to make a team. Not sure why he took the year off, he was probably just beat up.
