Pick your new franchise LT now, then worry about the QB next year when there are many other options.

Shift him to Rt tackle, draft Campbell for Lt side. KM saw first hand how well those big O Linemen did in Philly. We need a Saints Tush Push in NO.

Campbell doesn’t fit that mold. He has lower than average measurables in several areas. Arms, wingspan and hands.

Need a bunch of good O linemen.
After week 2 injuries decimated the Oline with little depth season went to the krapper.

Measurables are for pussies

Campbell has been elite since day 1

If he’s there a 9, take him no questions asked

I’m not sure why all the downvotes. I’m not commenting on his play, I’m just saying that Campbell isn’t a measurable freak like Lane Johnson, Mekhi Becton or Landon Dickerson. He’s just not.

We desperately need to upgrade LG. But we can do that in the 2nd or even 3rd round IMO.

Fuaga was really good at LT. McCoy is a stud, but we need some depth. Ruiz needs to be replaced, but he’s okay at RG until his contract expires IMO. Penning improved a lot last year. He needs to continue to improve. But I’m willing to see how this year plays out at RT.

If they see him as a tackle, I am all for it. If they see him as a Guard, you don't pick a guard with the 9th pick. Fuaga is already a short armed tackle

Not having long arms ? not being a measurable freak


PHI has two unicorn tackles but the premise still remains

I’m not saying we should or shouldn’t draft Campbell, but if we do he’s going to be LT, Fuaga would likely move to RT. That’s not a slight on Fuaga either. He would just make an awesome RT. He’s versatile, athletic, and a nasty run blocker. He’s built for the right side. And he has more experience playing there.

Campbell is an anchor who shines in pass pro. And he’s started over 30 games at LT. The idiots saying Fuaga would stay at LT and Campbell would move to the guard or RT are dumb as frick. We aren’t drafting a guard at 9.

Draft Campbell to take over at LT. Move Fuaga to his more familiar RT spot. Penning improved last year but he'll be a free agent after next season (assuming his $10M+ 5th year option isn't picked up) so it may be best to move on from him.

What’s the premise Gyno? I’m not saying he’s good or not. My point is that the OP said,

And I’m agreeing that Philly has two unicorn tackles and Campbell is not a unicorn.

I'm coming around. Not sexy but forget QB if the line is not stable.

So the guy drafted in the 7th round is a unicorn but not the guy that has been starting as a true freshman at LT in the SEC? Ok.
