True, and there are quite a few potential candidates on the FA market to fill that spot with veteran presence for a year or two - still, drafting a starter at LT would be the most cost efficient way of filling that spot right now.

Agree completely,If Mathews plays as well next year as this I wouldn't mind the high cost of trading up for him.LOT far too costly for us at the moment.

how long will he last in the draft I still don't think he's a first round draft pick and then we don't draft until the 3 round.

Well Charles Brown was picked as early as he was heavily due to his quick feet, so quickness and speed may not always be the indicator how good of a tackle a collegiate player becomes in the NFL.

Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma is still my pick

Looks good but not so important
40 yards 4.72 ( second fastest time ever)

now for OL these are important
10yard split 1.61 ( fastest )
three-cone drill 7.31 (fastest )

he was solid during the year and has nothing but proven tape does not lie. I see a solid player with a ton of upside.

Now i am jumping on this band wagon. i liked him at the end of the season but had my questions answered

But also with his climb that in my book is well worth it. That means a better defensive may slip through Tampa or Carolina to us that maybe get us that trade down bait we might need.
