Where does it say he's going to play OT?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just can't find it.

Everything I've read says center/guard.


I didn't say he was going to. I said he's got the perfect build for it and will GET A LOOK AS A TACKLE.

All those projections allude to his ability to play every position on the line, including tackle. He probably will settle in at guard when all is said and done, but that doesn't mean he won't get looks as a tackle early on.

Quite the opposite happens. Most players begin their first years as guards and then possibly get a look at tackle down the line. Some include tunsil this year, Michael oher, Walter pace, Greg Robinson etc.

Depends on the need of the team who drafts them. There are plenty of tackles drafted who start from day 1. There are also college tackles drafted who are projected as guards, but end up being better suited to play tackle.

The point is, just because Pocic played center in college does not mean he's going to at the next level, or vice versa.

He can play all O-line positions which is useful

Completely agree, there was a reason he was inside. If you watched for the few plays when we played left tackle for Malone, it looked bad. His drop step was not going to catch any outside defender. Part of LSU's problem the past few years is the lack of pass blocking technique and the quick feet required to do that. LSU left tackles become guards in the pros. That tells you all you need to know. Pocic won't even get the chance at tackle.

Don't know why you fangirls don't bring this up to the coaching staff.

So now RB10 says he will most likely wind up at guard which in case you don't understand sir falls under "inside grade" which I clearly stated earlier and you scoffed again showing your ignorance. Ethan is very versatile but emphatically received an inside grade as I already stated and will be drafted to play center/guard in the NFL
