re: Braden Smith gets 4 year 72 million extension

if we couldn't even evaluate Braden Smith as a Tackle (a more valuable position on the OL), don't you think that sheds light on why that position group for the past 3+ years has been an absolute disaster? Or perhaps why we had to convert a DT (Alec Jackson) to play LT?

That’s not how it works though. I’m still drinking my first cup of coffee and not thinking in-depth on those teams, so tifwiw. But you put the best team on the field. It’s very possible Auburn had players that were much better at tackle then guard so Braden Smith at tackle was the best for the team. It’s not about only putting your stars at their best position, if that compromises your team.
