There is a reason for the process Senior Bowl and the Combine help evaluate players that's why some rise or fall after...its not about the shiny new toy.
If I had to pick another guy I felt is a Left Tackle it would be Yodney Cajuste he has all the size athleticism and length you need at tackle but needs to learn better technique and to trust that technique...
I've known of Dillard since before last year's draft because there was a thought he might enter that draft. The same concerns then are the same now: questionable run blocking. He's been a really good pass protector and has good size. With time, Dillard has a good chance to become good in run blocking too, but he may struggle with it a few years.
I guess, for me, I look for the player who is the best right now, and that's Jonah Williams in my eyes. The only limitation on him right now is his arm length, but that didn't stop him from dominating in arguably the best college football conference. I take Jonah Williams as the first OL in this draft 10/10 times.
