I'd be more than happy with Latham. I think some are just getting bored of him. He's been pegged mid-1st for months. The devil you know, maybe, but still a solid pick. He's already a RT, he's played on both sides of the ball (some DT history) so his hands are good and he knows how to win in tight. More importantly, I'm not one to be wooed by upside, especially with our offensive line and scheme. We've had enough trouble bringing along supposedly polished plug & plays, forget about upside. I'm more risk averse with our OL than I am other positions. We don't have the kind of system where anyone will thrive so I'd rather focus on high floors.
This is really an ideal mock, tho. I'm personally pulling for 5 WRs and 5 QBs to go ahead of us (i.e., 10 players we wouldn't/shouldn't pick anyway). In that sense we'd have the equivalent of a Top 10 pick. It's not looking good for the QBs- McCarthy's sliding out of most Day 1 mocks- but I remain hopeful. Either way, getting our top OT choice after Olu and Alt would be perfect.
