Current left tackles in the NFL

[Meloy]

It could change, but right now the buzz is primarily about Bush and Leniert, therefor a teams has got to finish #1 or #2 to be in a strong position to expect other teams to offer them multiple picks to move up and take one
of the USC guys. Trouble is, I don't think we'll be one of the top 2 (or bottom 2, depending on how you look at it). Too many other teams "competing" for the top 2 spots have stronger remaining opponents
and/or weaker SOS, factors that work against our chances to end up with
a worse record or win tiebreakers.

Oh come on give these guys a chance. At least offer me the hope we can win the "toilet bowl " race.

I still like Wand/Pitts on the left side. I think if they are there next year, they will be formidable. My concern has always been the players from Center to RT. DD has a hard time running to the right. But I am in a minority here ( ) because I think the problem is not the players on the line but the coaching of those players (i.e., Pendry). Under a different (read: and good) coach, they will burgeon as quality linemen. For this reason, I lean towards taking Bush in the first.

Wand looked horrible. as for leaning towards bush, I'll lean on the wall so that i don't make him fall.

I won't go into the stats (they've been thrown around the boards a lot), but IMO, Wand was the best LT next to Pitts, and Pitts was the best LG. I think that if Wand had played this year instead of Riley, we would have been in a much better place. It was also the kid's rookie season (not really, but he had played kicking team the previous year), so I think he would have continued to improve with decent coaching, which is why I think the new coaches should consider the 2004 lineup. I also think that Reggie Bush will make the line look good the way that Vince Young makes his line look good. I'm not trying to bash either USC's or Texas' offensive lines, but I think that their impact players make their respective o-line's job easier.
