I was wondering how others felt, because I also have Matthews ahead of Joeckel.

really depends on wat u want. u want a nice RT who can do everything well and plays nasty you take Matthews. u want the Athletic LT who excels at Pass pro u take Joeckel.

[homestarunner93]

I like Joeckel a good bit better personally.

This.

Joeckel is the far superior athlete IMO. I think he projects better to the NFL.

People are really over ranking Lewan, watched him all season and I wasn't impressed. I'd potentially rank Eric Fisher over him.

I like Lewan better than Matthews, but Joeckel seems to be the consensus franchise LT of this class.

Could be wrong but I see Matthews playing a LT in the NFL.

Matthews will be a LT in the NFL. That's why he'll go back to school. Get a year of LT tape, because TAMU is certainly going to move him over to replace Joeckel.

I feel like Matthews is more than athletic enough to play LT, but he's better in the run game and nastier than Joeckel (who is a better pass protector). Lewan has to be the consensus #2 tackle in the class, especially after his performance against Clowney in the bowl game. I'm not big on Eric Fisher. Impressive physical specimen, but you have to be wary of his competition. Pre-draft drills are gonna be big for him

I don't know. When I've watched Matthews in pass game he seems to hold his ground pretty well. Maybe it's because of the Florida game but I have Matthews as a slightly better pass blocker than Joeckel. Not that either are bad. Matthews played really well against Mingo from LSU when he faced him. I felt it was pretty impressive considering how much hype Mingo is getting.

Mathews is returning to school

Yeah, he wouldn't have gone nearly as high as people were projecting him. Probably got a mid second round grade from the NFL.

If he did, it's only because the draft advisory people undershoot every player they advise.

Except for the people who advised Darron Thomas. Who the hell told him it was a good idea to come out early?
