10. Alijah Vera-Tucker, OL, USCHT: 6-4 | WT: 315 | Highlights
One of the biggest risers of this past year, Vera-Tucker flashed elite tools when he moved outside to left tackle for the Trojans last season. I see him as a top-tier guard, however, the best in this class.
Stat to know: Vera-Tucker was responsible for just two sacks and two holding penalties on 849 total pass blocks over the past two seasons. You're just teasing me with this aren't you? However, if he and Darrisaw are sitting there at 14, I would have a hard time passing on Darrisaw as our immediate LT starter, and then taking one of the second or third tier short armed tackles with one of our third round picks as a potential LG. So many tantalizing options to think about.
I won't be mad if they take Phillips or Paye in the first and trust that Rick has done his due diligence but it almost forces us to trade up in the 2nd for a LT unless the plan on moving O'Neill or Cleveland to fill one of the holes on the left side of the line.
My Samsung might be in minor jeopardy if we pass on Darrisaw.
