LTs better than Monroe:

Whitworth, Duane Brown, Joe Thomas, Ryan Clady, Trent Williams, Joe Staley, Okung, Matt Kalil, Bushrod are all easily better than Monroe.  Then theres about another 10 players that are similar to Eugene Monroe.

 

Not saying he's a bad player, far from it.   He's a very solid LT and a good starter to have.  Plus he's relatively young.  But this whole "easily top 10 LT" is actually far from true.  Monroe when playing his best football, approaches the top 10 and squeeks in.  Then there's a few other players who, like Monroe, have a chance to be top 10 when playing well. 

 

Overall, Monroe has been inconsistent.  It's not like the guy has been a pro bowler or even an alternate in his 4 years in the NFL.
