Lots of talk about OT around here. This dude breaks down what he considers the top 23:

Nice write up... i really like Slater if Sewell is gone...or trade back and still pick him up.. i love his value to move outside to inside something in today's game is becoming more valuable...

I love that the writer says he has a low second round grade on his #7 Dillon Radunz and a high second round grade on his #8 Jackson Carman lol.
Everyone knows I'm a big Jackson Carman fan and believe he would fit perfectly to the Bengals at pick 38. He has that perfect size at 6'5 335 to fit at either Tackle or Guard and the Bengals need both...Starters and Depth. Carman is just a powerful player that knows how to play at length. The timing with his hands is almost perfect.

I would never object to drafting a Clemson prospect... might be biased slightly... but in this case, you are right he is a big bodied bully for the line but I think he's more of a guard long term then tackle. Like the write up said, he can look awkward in space at time, but having him inside as a guard just blowing people off the line would be amazing to see.

Carman is also from Fairfield, so he’s likely a Bengal fan.

Reunite him with Tee. I really liked Carman everytime I watched Clemson. He is like a car man.

If Sewell is not there at 5 I sure would love it if Eichenberg or Cosmi fell to us in the 2nd.
1st Round - Kyle Pitts TE Florida
2nd Round - Eichenberg/Cosmi
Get Thuney in FA along with a couple pass rushers and I think this would be the start of a great Offseason.

Been watching Eichenberg the last couple days. He has given up something like 3 sacks in 3 years. And none over the last two years. Ummm. ND plays some tough games. And I think I read all of Brian Kelly’s LTs while he has been at Notre Dame have been first round picks.
With the way the league is starved for OL. I think there is going to be a huge run on these guys in the first. There are just so many good ones this year. I’m starting to feel like waiting on one to fall to the second will bite us in the ass again.
As for continuity. A large part of Notre Dames success was because of their OL. Wouldn’t it be wild if we took three of them. Plug Eichenberg in at RT, keep massive Cincinnati boy Tommy Kraemer at RG and the guy who started at RT for four years Hainsey has short arms but played C at the senior bowl. So plug him in at C. Instant chemistry and 3 dudes that will F you up.

Well dude does say some have him in the top 20.
This OT class is crazy. Seemed like not too long ago Leatherwood was top of everyone's list; now he's in the 3rd.
You give me him in the third and the rest is gravy.

You thinkin Eichenberg will be raising his stock big time NATI by the time the Draft rolls around? Could happen.
I would be for trading back and getting him, Darrisaw, Slater or Cosmi if the right offer was made if Sewell is gone.
Lots of great OL in this Draft and yeah, they got at least 3 good ones coming out of the Dame.

Leatherwood struggled at the senior bowl. I think he'd be better at G or RT IMO.

Perhaps, but dude didn't struggle for numerous years in the SEC. I too think he is merely a RT prospect but I have him as a good one.

An argument can be made that the collection of talent at 'Bama has a tendency to make good players look fantastic.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
