He never said what the compensation was but then we didn’t have pick #136.
It was Jeremiah's from over the weekend, the one he did within hours of the SF trade up to #3. He has since released a new one and has us back to taking Dickerson at #31. [Reply]

It's not likely 6-7 tackles go in the entire 32 picks of the 1st round, let alone in half that space.

Also, most of the guys I listed at 6’5”+.
Ball and Forythe are two guys that I think are really slept on as fits for us. Both are 6’8”+, and their strength is pass protection. Those 2 are extremely underrated.
Now, I’d rather not wait until the 3rd round to get our guy, but there will certainly be talent available with starting LT upside. I mean we just got a 1st round caliber talent in the 3rd last year, and the depth is actually better this year. Last years class was just better at the top.
The point is, I agree with you that this is a great OT class, but it’s even better than you think.

This guy is very underrated. Absolutely shut Ojulari down.
Ahem

"are going to get a plug and play guy on the right side...he is probably not a left tackle if they are talking about that kind of athleticism you can make that case he is not a left tackle.""
