None of the top tackle prospects are a clean a prospect and that list from OSUFan just proves how bad the Offensive Tackle class is this year.
The only one on tape that looks the top 10 part is Peter Skoronski but his 32.5 inch arms make half the teams in the league say Guard. Paris Johnson jr. is probably the only other tackle you can really assign a 1st round grade too and if this was 2024 we would be talking about Johnson in 20s.
Two years ago I thought it was going to be a down draft because the defensive line talent was lacking...but damn this draft class is lacking in OT, LB, WR.
As to the OP: You can see Darnell Wright dig guys out and drive them with power. He has to work on his latch but that same latch strength is a strength in pass pro so you can see the easy development. Which is one of those interesting things about DaWand Jones in a gap scheme he doesn't do a great job of digging guys out he is a much better reach blocker right now...and I don't wanna see Jones in an outside zone. He may fit a heavy inside zone team best.
