At least Zeurlein had a chance to learn from his father who coached at every level.
All that said, I certainly could see an argument that Mayfield is not a LT. To peg Mayfield as not a tackle at all? I'd say foolish. He has the requisite length and footwork to be a solid RT in the league. He's alot like Taylor Moton coming out yet everyone is now gushing about him.

1. I didn’t call him an expert. I’m just saying these guys’ strength in evaluating is OL.
2. You don’t need to play football to evaluate talent, but I get your point.
3. Zierlein is a great OL evaluator and he respects the hell out of Brugler’s ability to evaluate OL as well. I just take his word for it.
4. They didn’t say he’s not a T at all. They said he’s a young guy that can grow into the position, but they think he’s an NFL G today.
