    Clearly this guy is not the answer at RT. What do they do, move him inside or bench?

    They don't have enough competent players to bench him.

    Utter waste of a 1st round draft pick. There are no answers here. Except that Miami is cursed on the offensive line.

    I thought the pick was good, and James played well in 2014 and 2015 until his injury. There's something about that injury that has just caused his play to go to crap.. cursed is right.

    Exactly.

    Not to make any excuses for him, though. He sucked this year.

    He should have been moved to RG and let Tunsil play RT, I think, and I've been saying this a while now, that he would be a better G.

    The problem is, you're taking someone who's played exclusively on the left side and switching him to the right. That is sometimes a bad move because it can throw said lineman off.
     
  9. Whats sad there isnt any positions you could argue isnt one of need. They should be drafting bpa.

    Boy, TN's line is really good.

    Thats a lot of shifting for a rookie. Process of elimination, Turner does not belong on the line at all

    I understand what you're saying, and it does happen, but usually with lower talent players, with less than stellar footwork, but LTs are drafted every year to play RT and G, LTs are by a very big margin the most drafted OL, and they are drafted to play LT, LG, RG and RT.

    Last year my favorite player in the draft was Ali Marpet, a div III LT who had never played any other position on the OL, and started his rookie season as the starting RG.

    When you have footwork like Tunsil, or Marpet, switching sides isn't a problem.
