Does it matter which tackle position a player manned in college? In other words, could a college left tackle slide over and play right tackle in the NFL -- or vice versa?

Someone I DON"T want is Ed Oliver, DT, Houston. While he may have top 15 talent he has had injuries to his knee and has fought with his coach on the sidelines. His height and weight have been misrepresented. (That might be his team's fault.) He also skipped the bowl game.

With depth at DL positions in 2019 draft if Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida falls to 12 I wouldn't mind seeing GB grab him even though they have not had a lot of success taking OTs in the first round in the past.

In addition to OLB Sweat, Clelin Ferrell, Clemson is pretty quick and worth taking a look at.

One of the things we don't know is what type of defense will GB use. With so many sub packages these days I don't suppose the talk of 3/4 vs 4/3 is as relevant as it once was.

I only ask because you seem to think that Oliver skipping the bowl game was a negative. These college guys are skipping meaningless games to prevent injury and that is exactly what many fans were advocating with Rodgers.

Keep the insight coming though, I don't most most of the names being thrown around so i rely on posts like this to gather info and help form my opinions

I don't know if skipping the game is meaningless or not. There are risk/reward factors to be sure. If he has a standout game it probably pushes his stock up. If he lays an egg it may knock him back a few slots.

Oliver is an All American but he didn't play against very many quality teams. It would have been nice to have film of him playing against a tougher opponent. I always question the true ability of players who are so much better but they face weak competition. Division 1-AA (FCS), D2 and D3 included. In like manner guys that skip the combine make me wonder as well.

As for Rodgers, I didn't weight in because I don't care. He's already made it. We already know his abilities. He has his payday. Playing or not playing doesn't change the season.

Unless it's John Hannah or Jerry Kramer walking out of a time machine, I wouldn't want a guard at 12, ever.

Maybe if we decide to cut Bulaga so we can save $ 7 million in cap space, I could see us going with a tackle early, but even then, I don't know if there'll be anyone at pick 12. And even then, I wouldn't want a run blocker at tackle in this day and age.
