Quote:Should be able to find a tackle later since teams are avoiding them early

I don't understand this.

 

In 2015, two tackles Brandon Scherff and Ereck Flowers, went in the top ten, Sherff was 5th overall.

 

In 2014, three tackles were taken in the first 11 picks. 

 

• Greg Robinson was selected by the Rams 2nd overall
  
• Jake Matthews was selected by Atlanta 6th overall
  
• Taylor Lewan was selcted by the tacks 11th overall
  

Of course in 2013, tackles were the first two picks.

 

2012, Matt Kalil went to the Vikings 4th overall.

 

2011, Tyron Smith was taken 9th.

 

In my years of watching football and the draft, it seems one of the safest bets to happen is a tackle being selected in the top ten.  I don't see that changing.
