Evaluators concur: 2014 OTs better than 2013s
An NFC personnel man said that this year's offensive tackle class is better than the 2013 version that saw three OTs picked in the top four selections.
"The two guys on top of the board this year are better than all four of those guys last year," he said, referring, of course, to Texas A&M’s Jake Matthews and Auburn’s Greg Robinson. "These two are for real," the personnel man continued. "I mean Eric Fisher (last year’s No. 1 pick by Kansas City), he’s OK. I’m not sure he should have been No. 1 overall. Either one of these guys could be. But the crazy thing is they may drop." An AFC executive interviewed in the story agreed with the sentiment: "Those two guys this year are in a different class. I think all the guys from last year started off as right tackles, if I’m not mistaken. These two can go right in and play the left side for you. They’re that good." Of Matthews, the personnel man said: "Take him and don’t worry about anything. You have a left tackle for the next whatever many years."
