2023 OL Draft Prospects Group Assessments

[Essex Johnson]

I am not in the camp of drafting a tackle 1st round, mainly since rookies are still a guessing game as a whole in the NFL and development at tackle tends to be slower than other positions, with the window we have with these core, I prefer to go FA with tackle since there is tape at NFL level and already developed.

If we don't acquire a tackle, then I understand better using 1st round for a tackle.

In the end our 1st round pick will be impacted by signing our FAS and what Free agents we might acquire before draft.
