OG Jaeden Roberts 2021

Big'un.

Only if they had a RB... ??????

I agree

OG - Roberts and Rocco Spindler

OT - Dellinger plus any of the following : J.C. Latham; Tristan Leigh; Mims and there are a couple more I can not remember.

My OL recruiting preference is to recruit 3 OT and 1 interior OL every year.
Move the extra tackles (less mobile or whoever loses the tackle battle) to OG as needed.
Recruit 1 true OC every 2 years.

How? The guy is a junior in high school and looks like a human coke machine. Just unbelievable

Huge interior offensive line prospect with college-ready size. Flashes impressive point-of-attack strength. Thrives in the run game thanks to size and strength. Overwhelms smaller defenders at high school level. Shows encouraging block-finishing ability. Fairly quick when pulling or getting to the second level relative to size. Shows good straight-line athleticism on tape. Will need to improve overall agility and foot quickness. Physical ceiling likely limited because of size. Can improve hand placement, as well as pad level and leverage consistency. Gets too far out over his feet at times. Power 5-caliber interior offensive line prospect who can plow the row in the run game and possesses the size to give pass-rushers a large obstacle to navigate in pass pro.

So you think Detillier and the Saints are wrong. Detillier indicates that the Pros are focusing on rushing up the middle and thus the interior OL are increasing in value at this time.
You don't need but 2 OT. Since they often redshirt, they are usually around for 4 years. You do not need more than 8 OT signed each 4 year cycle.
2 Tackles and 2 guards/centers each year will keep your team in great shape if you recruit the right guys. LSU has seldom had 15 guys on the OL. Usually at 13 or 14. Your OL line does not play depth on purpose ( outside of blowouts ). I remember one year Alabama won the NC with the 5 starters playing like 97% of the snaps. I was so jealous since LSU seemed to always lose a couple starters to season ending injuries.
Great guards are not the same as tackles. They need more power and less quickness. A failure at tackle does not necessarily make a great guard.

Yes.
I saw the radio interview with Mike D.

1. You are talking about pros. We are talking about recruiting hs kids and lots of recruits change positions to find what fits them best. In hs it is not that hard for the best OL on the team to be an OT just because he is the best lineman on that hs team. However; in college he might be too big and his footwork might not be good enough to stay at OT.

2. I have lived thru many seasons where we/LSU did not have good enough OT play because Miles recruited too many guards.

The NFL is one thing and college is another. In the NFL you are taking the best out of college not hs and even then the current offensive line setup in the NFL is to have multiple ol that can play multiple positions because of roster limits.

I am an LSU fan and a Saint's fan and want both to win championships and I don't care what strategy they use as long as it works.

If I am being honest I disagree with Payton probably as much as I did with Miles. The Saint's would most likely have more than one SB championship if he had a more balanced team during Brees prime (better defensive teams). Miles most likely would have won more than one NCAA championship if his teams were more balanced (better more modern offensive teams). So No I do not think that I am better because I obviously am not or I would be a coach but I am also willing to state my opinion and even critique my own teams.
