Loadholt as a G. Not as a Tackle then I'd consider him but I do wonder if he can play G. I like D.J. Moore but if Tyson Jackson is there, I don't know if we pass on him. #58 for Jackson would definitely be a surprise. I don't know about Andre Smith going to San Diego but I do like that they put him lower than others. I think he could slide a bit. Spikes and Hardy both not in the first? Cody at 41??

Don't think Loadholt can play RT?
I am not sure about Moore either, especially if Jackson is there.
I can't wait to see who declares come january, because as it stands I expect to be very happy with our first 3 rounds.

Nope. I wonder if he's too big for a G as well.

I think he may be too big for G, but I think he can play at RT. If you have a big enough QB, loadholt might not be too big for G.

Wow, outside of Oakland, I think Cincinnati may just be the worst place for Oher to get drafted by and asked to live, etc.

Nice job. I saw Loadholt play high school football here in my hometown of Colorado Springs. He went to Fountain-Fort Carson High School and was/is probably the biggest player (size wise) who ever came out of this area. I would probably slide him over to the LG position and keep Jake Long at LT. But I also have heard that Jake Long is actually better at RT than LT so we could always have Long and Loadholt at bookends if we decide to go this route. :up:
I think Loadholt can play RT. He's got an awful lot going for him. He got heavily criticised for what happened against Texas, giving up 2 sacks to Orakpo; he absolutely dominated Orakpo all game save for 2 mistakes and one of them wasn't a pure beaten off the edge sack, it was more a coverage sack. He's got tremendous wingspan and the only real issues I have with him are that he gets unbalanced at times and gets his feet under him.
He did a great job pulling and creating a hole on Saturday night for a TD run. I'm not altogether sure he couldn't play G either.
I am the sweat not the swagger.
