He was a defensive line recruit that switched to Offensive Tackle his first live OL reps were in 2022. He's basically getting a top 50 grade from pure athleticism because his technique is almost non-existent..

Everyone expects to Guyton to test through the roof so that is peobabaly not going to move his stock up or down unless it's poor testing. Now an ugly showing in 1 on 1s, 9 on 7s, and team drills could knock him down the draft boards. 


 

And if he shows better than expected in drills, his stock will move up.  That can be argued about any player in the draft process.  As of current Big Boards, it isn't realistic.  Besides, didn't you tell me as many as 10 OT's may go in the 1st, or am I thinking of someone else?

Going beyond draft rankings, it's in no way realistic.  Three OT's when we have our starting LT under contract for 3 more years?  Best case scenario is one is a 4 year starter and another starts for only one before both your bookends are UFA's at the same time.  Double dipping at 3 tech when you've got a solid starter under contract and a 3rd round pick on his rookie deal?  So best case scenario, you cut a 3rd round pick and have another 3rd round pick sitting inactive all year because no 4-3 team dresses three 3 techs.  It isn't just the slots guys are drafted that make it unrealistic.
