I had mentioned this the other day not in so many words, the experts are all over the place on the evaluations of these potential LTs. I'm certainly no expert on evaluating linemen. But I wonder how much of a difference is there between the top Ts? Does it equate to say Trapilo giving up a couple more pressures and one sack a game over say Campbell. If that's the difference would it be worth possibly getting the next great DE on a rookie contract?

You are correct about the experts eval's of OT's in this draft.
The proof is in the reading. I have never seen this much disgreement on the OL.

I use this site as well especially to see where players are projected to go.

But, to me it's not hard #s. Without being smart and saying 1%, what's the difference between a 98 and a 97 grade? Sure you can look at the pros and cons. Look at college film. But without everything being equal is that really the best method? I don't expect an answer because there probably isn't one. Does that equate to giving up a couple more pressures and one sack per game?

If so, I think I'd be willing to roll the dice and sign a potential franchise DE. The NE would be scary good.

I use Draftbuzz for general info. They are very optimistic about tackles this year.
I use Walter football for opinions but not pick placement. They are overly pessimistic this year.
Somebody will get some players right this year but not all of them and not right away!
