Copied! Johnnie in Kansas: Is drafting a true left tackle with the 11th pick and moving Andrew Thomas to the right side a good idea? We need playmakers, but it's possible to find a great receiver in the second or third round. John Schmeelk: The idea that the right side is somehow easier than the left is outdated. Most of the best pass rushers rush from over the right tackle. It doesn't mean drafting an offensive lineman who can play left tackle, if needed, would not be a prudent option if he is the best player available, but there's no reason to think Thomas can't handle the left side after a strong month-and-a-half to end the season.
