...I’m still undecided and have all 4 within a pretty close margin of each other
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

What's peoples opinions on Wirfs vs. Wills specifically?  They seem to get lumped together, but in different orders.

Wirfs might be better a guard, but has more than enough athleticism to play either tackle spot in a zone scheme. 

Wills has always been an elite guard prospect to me, but he can also play all over the line.

The biggest reason I am so fond of Mekhi Becton as a prospect is that he's experienced as a left tackle and he has the size/length to be dominant out there.

I've never been able to figure out why one is better than the other. Even their names are similar.

They are both good.  I trust Kirk Ferentz at Iowa to develop offensive linemen.  Wirfs is a really good player. 

I think that Becton has the best chance of being elite though.

Saw the Rapsheet/NFLN mock draft, they had the Jets trading up to 9 with the Jags to jump the Browns for an OL.  Probably cost one of the 3rds or a 4th.  Totally worth it if the right guy is there.

I have pretty much convinced myself that if we want one of the 4 tackles we're going to need to trade up to do it, and I am 100% supportive of us doing so.

These old idiots that own and/or run a lot of these teams are so archaic when it comes to evaluating character. 

Bill Polian was one of the absolute worst and there's plenty of there still like him. 
I can picture a lot of those types of GMs saying this:

Because it shows that the player doesn’t have the mental fortitude to not smoke an illegal substance that they know will be tested for in the most important 6 month build up of their lives.

I don't think all 4 will be gone by 11, it's a question of whether he likes who is left.

If two tackles come off the board in the top five, we'll have to move up for one.

The Giants and Dolphins could take tackles.  We need Gettleman to take Simmons and for Miami to either trade up for Tua or sit at 5 and draft Herbert.  That is the best case scenario for us. 

Hopefully someone takes a wideout in the top ten too.

I think we'll see some interesting picks between 15-20. 

Isaiah Wilson/Ezra Cleveland/Josh Jones

One or two of them could go earlier than expected

But can we get some off the wall in the top 10?
Need a new one for a new board...

One of the best offensive line coaches to ever do it ranks the OT prospects. 

1.  Mekhi Becton
2.  Andrew Thomas
3.  Tristan Wirfs
4.  Austin Jackson
5.  Josh Jones
6.  Jedrick Wills

A lot of old school coaches and general managers are likely going to evaluate like Mike Tice.  Wouldn't be surprised to see Dave Gettleman take Becton at #4.
