I know for a fact that Landon Young is good, as a noted biased Kentucky fan. Let me give you some hope, my friend here are some of his accomplishments.

Out of High School he was a five-star recruit by Rivals and 247Sports, that made him the No. 1 prospect in Kentucky and No. 12 overall prospect in the nation.

In High School, he won the 2016 KHSAA state wrestling title, finished his senior year with a 19-0 record on the mat, which ranked as the state’s top wrestler at 285, most considered him top in the nation..

Three-time Class 3-A track and field champion in the discus, won the 2015 state shot up title. 2014 Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year. 2013 USATF National Olympics Track and Field Championships runner-up in both the shot put and discus.

He benched 34 times, with 34 inch arms. His 10 yard split time of 1.72 puts in 95th percentile in the entire NFL for offensive lineman! Which means he packs a fiery punch off the snap.

Once won offensive lineman of the week for knockdown blocks on a guy 10 times in a single game. After 11 games in 2020, graded at 89 percent, did not miss an assignment, and led the team in knockdown blocks with 56.

Because he's not the most fluid and he probably runs in the 5.2-5.3 range he's dropped, so as a tackle in the NFL he might struggle against speed rushers. But you move him to guard and there isn't nobody, unless they're Geno Atkins in his prime, that's gonna push him back at the point of attack.

He's projected to go 4-6 round, so there is plenty of talent out there left on the offensive line, now if we're heading into the 7th round and we still haven't picked up an offensive lineman, then he can start "grabbing the pitchforks." Lol

Personally.... I'm grabbing pitchforks if a lineman isn't taken tomorrow. This unit has been complete dogshit for 4-5 years. It's absolutely disgusting that it's still an issue. We took the trinket, fine, now build the damn foundation, or all you have is a house of cards.
