I think the draft is going to come to us. Project LTs with traits might be available in the 20s. We’ve seen similar LT projects get taken in the 20s. It’s not a reach. Why would that be against the flow? Again, Mims was taken 18th last year and Fautana was take 20. Do you like those guys more than Simmons or conerly? I’m not saying to hyper focus on LT. I just think the draft could play out in our favor with a small move up.

I wouldn't target a tackle at all. If one drops and makes sense, take him. But I don't think they NEED another LT, especially not another backup. I personally don't buy that Kingsley is done at tackle.
Do you know what the hit rate is for tackles taken between 18-28? Hardly any of them even end up playing LT. A lot of them move to guard. The bulk of the rest never amount to shit.
If you're not picking too 15, you're taking a CHANCE on a tackle. Nothing more. There are so many places on this team that need upgrades. There will be plenty of guys that can contribute right away if they don't get tunnel vision about LT.
