Kelly was more physically gifted than Barrett Jones IMO. Jones brought a rare leadership role to the team that was priceless though. I look for lots of early round draft picks from our line over the next five years. We have never been this loaded at OL. Next year Leatherwood may be better than all of them.

Exactly. Barrett didn't quite have the physical gifts, but compensated with brains and flawless technique. He also had studs on either side, whereas w/ Kelly, we couldn't really see what he was doing because we were too worried about how the right side of the line was going to screw up next.

Also, back to DH, he looks lighter and quicker than he did at Bama.
