Kyler was the most accurate deep ball thrower last year.

A quick look at the last super bowl and of the 10 offensive line starters, 4 were round 1 picks

3 of the 4 starting OTs in the Superbowl were first round picks

in the conf champ games, i think it was 6 of 8

of the two non first rounders, one was Mitchell Schwartz, taken 37th and the other was David Bakhtiari, taken in the 4th round

Imagine if he had a true outside WR. One jeudy please (or Diggs)

He had one. Kurt said Larry would go up for anything and make him look good. K1 did not do that.

36 year old Larry might not be the same as 26 year old Larry Idk though.

Talking tackles, not interior

more fun facts for a Sunday morning:

of the 12 playoff teams (24 starting OTs): 17 were 1st round picks (71%)

of the 7 that weren't 1st rounders: 5 of them were top half of the 2nd round picks

Half the playoff teams started 2 1st rounders at OT

only one team didn't start a 1st rounder at OT: Buffalo, whose OTs were taken in the top of the 2nd round

while correlation doesn't = causation:

it sure seems like if you want a playoff caliber offensive tackle, you better get them in the first 45 picks of the draft



so: is that different than the bottom 12 teams?

of those 24 starting OTs: 6 first rounders (25%)

of the 18 others: 4 2nd round picks.

also, while i didnt keep track: far higher incidence of UDFAs and late round picks.

so there you go.
