Not gonna lie lol, getting brown in 3rd had me thinking we could possibly pull something off like that again.
haha nope that's exceedingly rare - now if you're picking a OT to play inside that's a different matter entirely but getting orlando brown was a massive unicorn moment - even the other 2 tackles he listed outside of round 1 were both taken in the 2nd round - to get orlando where we did was a coup
and if a guy looks like he'll be a good starter in the NFL then it's likely he's getting picked in round 1 - the ravens have been unmatched in their ability to find decent starters at tackle later in the draft... ricky wagner (5th round) and orlando brown (3rd round) most recently
but even so kelechi osemele we drafted to be a tackle as a 2nd rounder and he had to move inside to guard to hit his potential, james hurst did incredibly well given his udfa status (but also played his best at guard)
if there is going to be a class where we do get someone it would be this one given the stacked class (2020 was also pretty nicely stacked with OT talent and it looks like a couple of guys outside round 1 from that class have a chance to become good pros - chiefs really like lucas niang who opted out last year, ezra cleveland might be starting LT for the vikings in 2021 and weirdly Michael Onwenu has actually converted from guard to tackle and did exceptionally well for new england last year)
but this 2021 class is absolutely loaded with talent - the question will be whether that talent translates - previous form suggests most of it won't but it would be very surprising if at least a couple didn't pan out at tackle (it's possible that some of them will be moving inside - jackson carman, jalen mayfield, brenden jaimes, kayode awosika, alex leatherwood, robert hainsey, royce newman could all potentially be moved inside) but the idea that none of the 11 guys i have graded on day 2 would succeed as tackles is beyond the pale... but form says that's likely to happen
it's definitely wild that we managed to get the best OT in the draft class in 2018 in the middle of the 3rd round
