Quote:You don't see the gap? Dawkins is a natural LT who can play the spot in a clinch, but it's thought he's just not quite agile enough to start there in the NFL. He's still a find pass blocker though... plenty good enough to play G.. .but he's known for being a beast against the run. He's really the total package. I don't see how these other names are quite stacking up to who he is, and in particular what he can do for our run game. I even like him over Feeney because Feeney is more of an athletic zone blocker as a G where Dawkins is going to straight up bring the power.

Nope I don't think he's even close to Feeney. Feeney has been my boy since like 2015 and he's shown no reason to change that now, other than slight concussion concerns.

 

Also, saying Dawkins is in the ~60 range to me isn't a slight. Third round is about the range where the not super elite guards usually go. Look at the 2014 draft. Gabe Jackson, Trai Turner, and Brandon Linder all went picks 81 to 93. Then 2015 you have Marpet/Poutasi/Cann 61-67. That's about when guys that aren't viewed like elite Zack Martin/David DeCastro/Kevin Zeitler/Forrest Lamp go.
