I think that’s a pipe dream. Success at RT doesn’t mean you can also be successful at left tackle. They’re completely different.
Remember, Ballard had to be convinced that Smith and his 32.25 arms could play right tackle. On the left side, teams prefer 34 or longer. That’s, in part why Clark was considered such a good prospect. His arms are 36 inches. Yes, it will help having Nelson next to you. But LT takes a special player.
Well then you’re likely not getting him.
I think when JC traded for Steve Smith about 6 years ago or so, I think it cost the Chiefs either a pair of twos or a 2 and a 3. Even if we’re willing, some other team might offer better.
