On another draft trend related topic. It's been fairly well noted by many football fans that CFB just hasn't been turning out NFL ready OTs in recent years. Largely in part to the style of offense featured in many of the successful CFB programs. It's also been said that this is the best OT draft in a few years, do you agree with that? (In my opinion, the interior OL stock is the same as it has always been. That's why I'm asking specifically about the Tackle position)
Tackle has definitely struggled but I think the issues go down to the high school level. So many more teams are running spread offenses at the high school level and just being asked to get in the way of somebody, technique has really regressed overall.
As to this class, yes it’s very talented and mainly because a lot of the top prospects are coming from programs that traditionally value good O line technique. I am a little leery of some of the guys in this class as a few are physical specimens with questionable technique but I’d still say Jonah would be the only tackle from last year in the top 5 this year.
