[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 824946, member: 12283"] Two things. 1) I am not just talking about "olinemen." Centers and guards are not the same as tackles. 2) You most certainly do not find a lot of above average [I]tackles [/I]who were drafted late. Here are the top tackles in the league at the moment in terms of average annual salary, and their draft round: [LIST=1] [*]Trent Brown, OAK- 7th Rd [*]Taylor Lewan, TEN- 1st Rd [*]Nate Solder, NYG- 1st Rd [*]Jake Matthews, ATL- 1st Rd [*]Donovan Smith, TB- 2nd Rd [*]Trent Williams, WAS- 1st Rd [*]Russell Okung, LAC- 1st Rd [*]Terron Armstead, NO- 3rd Rd [*]Ja'Wuan James, DEN- 1st Rd [*]Tyron Smith, DAL- 1st Rd [*]Eric Fisher, KC- 1st Rd [*]Cordy Glenn, CIN- 1st Rd [*]David Bakhtiari, GB- 4th Rd [*]Riley Reiff, MIN- 1st Rd [*]Duane Brown, SEA- 1st Rd [*]Lane Johnson, PHI- 1st Rd [*]Andrew Whitworth, LAR- 2nd Rd [*]Matt Kalil, CAR- 1st Rd [*]Anthony Castonzo, IND- 1st Rd [*]Ricky Wagner, DET- 2nd Rd [*]Donald Penn, OAK- UDFA [*]Charles Leno, CHI- 7th Rd [*]Rob Havenstein, LAR- 2nd Rd [*]Kelvin Beachum, NYJ- 7th Rd [*]Joe Staley, SF- 1st Rd [/LIST] So of the 25 players that the league has termed most valuable in terms of salary, you have 5 that were originally found outside of the top 3 rounds. 15 were 1st round picks. Even if you think about good tackles still on rookie deals, you have Mike McGlinchey (Rd 1), Jack Conklin (Rd 1), Cam Robinson (Rd 1), Ryan Ramczyk (Rd 1), Taylor Moton (Rd 2), Laremy Tunsel (Rd 1), Dion Dawkins (Rd 2), Ronnie Stanley (Rd 1)... So I would say, evidentially, that no you most certainly do not find more good tackles later in the draft than most other positions. If you need one, and there's a good one on the board, you're best served taking said player early. [/QUOTE]
