I think we are far more likely to find a pro bowl tackle in the 2nd round than we ever are a DE of similar stature in this current draft. There could be 3 or 4 guys at tackle with genuine potential to become pro bowlers, you might be lucky if there is one remaining DE.

That’s an excellent point. And I think it’s fair to assume that Ballard has more than one LT he would be comfortable taking tonight.
