No, I really don't see him as near the top of left tackles and the concerns that I had about him at draft time are the same concerns that I have now. He is what I thought I thought he was which is not enough to justify a top ten pick. He is not much more than average at this point of his career, but he will improve. I just don't see him improving enough to be a top LT in the near future. He seems to struggle for the first half of every season before he plays decent football. As it stands now, Solder is a better LT IMO.

I remember that everyone hated Solder and I could never figure out why. IIRC people thought he looked bad in some combine drills or something, not sure. But he was a heck of a player and athlete in college so I wasn't that surprised when the Pats took him.

Seems to struggle first half of every season..lmfao, he's played 2 seasons and 2 different positions. He's like 12 years old.

Well remember the Pats have a great OL coach too. I think Belichick was high on Tyron too
I didn't like Solder because of his build. 6'8" and lanky. Wasn't sure how could he'd be in the run game and afraid people would be able to get underneath him
But I'm not an OL coach or a scout, so it might the second or third time I was wrong

Yeah I thought that was strange as well. The guy's full of shit. He talks like Smith has been playing for more than 5 years.

Yeah, he's actually kind of like Tyron in that way.
I'm in Big 12 country and I remember first hearing about him way before the draft process when a former coach was talking about how good a player he was and what amazing athletic ability he had for someone his size. They said the only reason he wasn't better known was because the team he played on was so bad. So I knew (or was pretty sure) he wasn't just some athlete good at combine drills but who couldn't play at all.
Anyway, IIRC on that year's leaked draft board, we had him pretty high, higher than most people thought he should be. So that's a good sign.
Back to pet cats, I was just choosing from our picks. Don't remember having one that much going into the draft. Maybe Arthur Brown, but I haven't checked to see how he's supposedly doing.

Sorry. Titans think he's soft.
I always associate Justin Hunter to the Vikings because he's the next Randy Moss. My bad.

I don't give a damn one year or ten. He has the same problems at the pro level as he had at USC. You can disagree or use age as an excuse. He will be a slightly above average tackle one day, but it will be not be anytime soon. I have never bought into the hype and I was against the team drafting him with the 9th pick. Solder was picked later and is much more a true LT than Smith is.

I thought Ryan Swope could be a steal in the 6th. But then he got the brain fever.
