I believe 6 or 7 Offensive Tackles went in the first round of the 2020 draft.Complete disagree. It’s better at the top and deeper than last years. U had 2 question marks at the top as ppl thought becton and Thomas was a question mark and we’re iffy. Austin jackson was looked at as a bigger reach than clielin ferrell. I got 7 tackles with 1st round grades which is what most will have and another 5 with 2nd rounds.
Penei Sewell of course is the favorite but after him its iffy.
Rashawn Slater has zero length so he fits some teams but not others. You see reports saying he does better straight forward instead of trying to reach block that's a length issue so teams that use heavy zone and run alot of zone stretch like the Rams 49ers Browns Vikings etc. will likely go a different direction.
Christian Darrisaw is probably the best after Sewell because he took a step forward in pass protection in 2020 and was always a solid run blocker.
Sam Cosmi is your typical finesse athletic tackle that you see every year. He is solid in pass pro but gives up ground to bull rushes and isnt a great run blocker.
Liam's Eichenberg is your veteran type. He is technically sound plays and seems to have the base line athleticism to play in the NFL. Reminds me alot of Jonah Williams as a prospect.
Dillon Radunz is the North Dakota State FCS tackle that hasn't played against great competition. His Senior Bowl practices will be very telling.
Alex Leatherwood is your yearly Alabama tackle. He will get a shot on the edge in the pros but ultimately stiff ankles and hips could force him inside.
Jackson Carman is built and has the athleticism of an NFL caliber tackle and will play great most of the time but then just gets beat out of the blue never fails.
Jalen Mayfield was up and down in 2019 and was injured for most of 2020.

Really? He dosent improve trash rg and average center play. Even if he gets the best pff grade of tackles in the last 5 draft classes(something Jonah williams currently holds) he’s pretty much Bobby hart this year. We will still be picking top 10 next year if that’s the case. But Wyatt Davis and Christian darrisaw? All of a sudden there is 0 weakness on oline and u grabbed at minimum an extra 2nd and extra 3rd to improve dline and secondary
