The poll is pointless since its doubtful were switching to a 3-4 system

Nobody we need or can get justifies 8th pick or the pay that goes with it… we can get unproven tackles for both sides in the second round.

whoever will be the best at getting the job done. (stopping the run or protecting the QB.)

Better value, lots of choices in the first round. I do want to see a potential starting NT taken in the first few rounds of the draft though.

but in my honest opinion, Trent Willims is the second best tackle in this draft, and if he is there at eight, we should take him.
We really should go OT, and even if Khalif Barnes and Henderson win the starting tackle jobs, at least we have a good canididate to challenge for the right guard position.

On defense there are always defensive gems in the later rounds look at Scott, Saughnessy, Bryant, Morrison, (Warren…jk). The same can not be said for the O-line tackle position Sons. We need this! I remember when I wanted to draft Jamon Meredith as he made it to the third round, Well guess what, he sucks! that was a close one, as real O tackles are found in the early rounds (1,2).

Reality people lol u can face it!

instead of pseudo, irrelevant, fantasy methods

I posted something similar somewhere else saying pretty much the same thing. I think the likelyhood of taking a DT in the first is very unlikely for a very good reason or 2. We have a D line that accounts at this moment with 3 out of 4 starters in a 4-3 defense getting a whooping $27 mill apporximately next year. If we decided to take a DT at #8 or even traded up to get Suh at #2 the money that either one will get will make our D line probably the most expensive bust of all time given the current performance or lack there of consistant performance from atleast 2 of those 3 starters. If we cut Warren and/or Kelly (its still not too late to save that huge salary hit) then I would be fairly certain we would go for a DT with the first pick. I am just convinced were going to take a CB/DB first and I dont think we are hurting there as much ass in the trenches on either side of the ball. I pray for either an OT (maybe G) OR if we cut Kelly and Warren (please they are not worth the scratch they get) the grab a DT and sign a FA or draft more in the 2nd round and or 3rd round.

In which case I’d stick by OT in the first, and DT in the second. DTs drop off significantly after McCoy and Suh. There will remain some first round tackle talent worth taking, but probably would be smartest to trade to the middle or end of the round, and take whatever tackle remaining from Williams, Davis, Bulaga, or even Iupati at the bottom of the round.

There are some great later round DTs who should be available for us, and we won’t be paying them bigtime scratch to wait and see if they perform, as we are doing with some other guys who are swallowing up some big jack.

“Which position upgrade will improve us most?”
is better and not so wordy as:
“which of these two tackle picks are more likely to make an immediate impact?”
