...with flaws. It will take any of them a few years before they're ready to be a blindside protector. I think LT, like QB - you have to look in the first round for the best prospects. After that it's a crapshoot.
All the guys they've been drafting up to this point have been the development type. Noteboom was drafted in the 3rd. Even 2nd rounders are often developmental type that need a year or two. That likely includes Little. And up to this point, they're model has been to draft that type since they draft them a year or two in advance of when they need them.
They won't have a 1st round pick next year so they're gonna have to hope that Whit keeps playing or Noteboom is ready and can be resigned or someone lets a starting LT free agent hit the market which is unlikely.
