More Likely to Bust - OTs

[MMONTERO]

We'll do the first five chosen. They are Jake Long, Ryan Clady, Chris Williams, Gosder Cherilus, and Jeff Otah.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Brandon Albert Should be on the list, I'm pretty sure they plan for him to play LT. I thought Otah was going to play RT and Gross would stay at left? Maybe not.

Either way I picked Jake Long because he won't be Orlando Pace, and that's what's expected if you're picked #1.

[MMONTERO]

Albert's official draft position was at guard so he'll be on the guards list.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

He would be second on my biggest OT busts. Think he'll be a great guard though.

[McNulty]

Jake Long has the highest expectations (based on draft position), and popular opinion (amongst the amateur critics) thinks he's going to be/wants him to be a failure as a left tackle, but he has great size, strength and a nasty disposition and with an OL minded HC like Sparano he'll develop nicely and become a very solid pro LT IMO.

My vote's for Cherilus. He was a reach in the first place, and to make matters worse he was chosen by the draft-error prone Detroit Lions who have other holes to fill and despite a good resume and pedigree I think he'll struggle. I think he'll be a starting NFL RT down the line, but he'll be the biggest bust of the top 5 OT's taken.

[MMONTERO]

I think it'll be Otah. Otah was a prospective pick. A guy who we knew was raw but due to his size and strength, was a first round prospect. If the project doesn't work, Otah is a bust. I think that's likely.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Wait what... you voted Godser, but you think Long will be the biggest bust...

[McNulty]

What? Where did I say Long was gonna bust? I was saying that Long has the loftiest expectations and that I think he's widely considered to be the most likely to bust as a Left Tackle, but I think he'll prove his doubters wrong. It was a preemptive strike at the likely Long votes that are to come.

Preemptive strikes haven't turned out so well as of late

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I misread your last sentence, my apologies.

[McNulty]

haha no problem, I'm just in a foul mood as I sit and watch my Italians capitulate in their game against the Netherlands

[giantsfanmike]

Otah. Horrible fit in the ZBS.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Who voted Ryan Clady and why?

[DraftKidWonder]

Otah. Horrible fit in the ZBS.

In defense to Otah, I believe news came out on draft day that with the pick of Otah they are switching into a more conventional power scheme, but it was speculation.

I say Otah as the most likely to bust but I don't think any of them will.

And Gosder Cherilus is a stud. He'll be the #1 RT in the NFL when it is about 6 years down the road.

[PuppyPuncher]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if you look at Carolina's projected offensive line, it's power.

I voted for Jake Long since he lacks the athleticism.
