Our Future LT?

I was reading a bit about the last pre-season game and saw a few comments on how Jarred Allen was winning some battles on Walter Jones. Accompanied with John's comments about how we were insane not to draft a replacement/understudy for Walter this year and I'm guessing that this issue will be at the top of next years todo list.

Now it seems weird to bring this up, but as we all are watching a lot of college games this year (I do anyway) I was hoping to keep my eye's out for any possible future Seahawk left tackles out there.

Based on early rankings of some of the LT out there and thier projected draft status, here are the guys to keep an eye on.

1. Michael Oher, Ole Miss
2. Andre Smith*, Alabama
3. Eugene Monroe, Virginia
4. Ciron Black*, LSU
5. Alex Boone, Ohio State

They get shuffled around a bit, but those seem to be the major players. Some other links to check out

These are the guys I'll be watching pretty closely to see what their made of. Based on the reports, I'm hoping everyone but Michael Oher on the Ole Miss line falls apart, and their quaterback goes blind so that he falls to us.

(Note, I realize these ranks mean nothing, but its all I got.)
