=Tauscher may not literally have much validity. I never heard Tauscher's size was an issue, and Bakhtiari supposedly is more athletic. However, based on circumstance, yeah maybe. As for the size thing, strength would seem to be a bigger deal that mere size, and based on the post 2 or 3 ahead of this one, Bakhtiari seems to have that. Also, it seems to me, the way the game is played nowadays, size/strength is more important for a Guard. A Tackle must get up from his stance and out quickly enough to cut off a speed outside rusher or be mobile enough to adjust when that same rusher fakes outside and goes to the inside - not to mention the fact that the Guard has to deal with the biggest D Linemen in either a 3-4 or 4-3, and the Tackle most of the time is blocking the smaller faster guy. And unlike the Lombardi Era, you nowadays much more often see the Tackle loop out on a sweep instead of pulling Guards.

I think Bakhtiari is going to F'ing ROCK!

Keep in mind he doesn't have to be amazing to even be an upgrade from Newhouse last season.

I didn't say anything about who they faced, although I assume it's pretty much similar. I agree with you, Bakhtiari has a chance to be good. It's about time we hit it lucky again with a O Line draft pick. It's been more bad luck than good in recent years.

Tauscher rolled into the starting Right Tackle job without the complete NFL strength and size characteristics, much like Bakhtiari is on the Left side. Most rookie starting linemen are in this same predicament.

I think it is remarkable that Bakhtiari is assuming that starters role at LT, one of the most important positions in all of football. This is very, very early, but encouraging to see he went 5-0 in his line drills yesterday.

While this is all well and good, it is a huge roll of the dice. I hope Ted works a trade for a legit starting LT - just to be sure.
