2024 Draft seems rich with quality OT's and WR's

This year the OT like JC Latham and Amarius Mims are kinda scary prospects to me. Latham looks nearly identical the former Alabama Tackle Evan Neal and Mims has played in like 8 total college games.

The thing that's enticing about this year's T class is that there are several top prospects that are just athletic freaks.  For years, pass rushers were just so athletic that T's were just overmatched.  Take a guy like Jonah Williams and how his margin for error is practically nil when he faces top pass rushers.  A lot of kids at the top of this T look to have the potential to finally swing that pendulum the other way.  

They're going to have growing pains they need to work through, but a good number of the top of this crop seem to have the athletic tools to at least survive while they learn the nuances of the position.  We're kind of seeing that play out with Broderick Jones this year.  His technique is terrible, but he's been serviceable as a rookie because he can win just by being too much of a physical freak for the other guy.
