Whit is elite. Top 3-5.

Ced is an unknown. I want to say they'll be top 10 at least, but it's hard to assign a value at this point.

Best LT in the game counts for a MASSIVE amount.

Ogbuehi was a stud at RT on tape, while not even close to being a stud at LT, so at least he has that going for him.

Maybe 7-13 is a bit more accurate, but... yeah, going through that list, there isn't a single person I'd take over our duo.

And no, Dallas is NOT better, people; I don't give a crap how, "athletic," Tyron Smith is, he still isn't better than Whitworth.

Have a feeling that he can't keep this level forever though; he is going to be 35 this year, after all...

Looking at the list I can only see 2 duos I would take over ours:

Philly
Houston

Wow, the Bucs are in for some tough sledding if they're planning to start 2 TEs at OT.

[J24]

Whitworth is in the top 3 of LT but Ced is still a huge ? As he has not played a meaningful down yet in the NFL. So I have 14-18 right now because of unknown factor.

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Whit is the best LT in the league right now IMHO.

Og is still a question but from what i have seen of him he could be great.

I voted top half dozen based on this. Whit is the best and Og has great potential. So does Fisher as well.

Corrected. Unfortunately for the Bucs, it didn't make them much better.

[Thundercloud]

Whitworth needs no further endorsement from me or anybody else. His brilliant body of work speaks for itself.

And yes, Ced still has a lot to prove, but everything we've heard from coaches, everything we've seen on the field, in a limited number of snaps, everything we see in his history, indicates tremendous potential to be elite. I believe our tackle play this year can be unbelievable.

[XenoMorph]

id say they will rank probly above average.... on play alone but will look a lot better due to our fast strike QB

[Bengal Dude]

Ced is an unknown for us. Whit is arguably the best LT in the game. So I'm putting us in the 7-13 range.
