With Pick 2 in the 2025 Draft GB Selects North Carolina State OT Anthony Belton

We are all correct to be concerned with Gute OL drafting. Since 2018 these are his picks

Cole Madison
Jon Runyan Jr
Jake Hanson
Simon Stepaniak
Elgton Jenkins
Josh Myers
Royce Newman
Cole Van Lanen
Sean Rhyan
Zach Tom
Rasheed Walker
Jordan Morgan
Jacob Monk
Travis Glover
Anthony Belton

Only two HR pick among this group is Jenkins and Zach Tom. Then had a few picks of average OL in Runyan, Myers, Rhyan, and Walker. Though none of those average guys seem good enough to earn a 2nd contract from GB. After that you have Morgan, Monk, Glover, Belton with to early to tell grades on them.

So then after Rhyan and Walker likely leave after this upcoming season out of 11 guys who went thru their rookie deals only 2 players got a second contract with the team. That is not good drafting.
 
That's Clemson tape... Sammy Brown, who played HS FB here and I know well starts at LB for them. I text him last night about our 2nd round pick....Sammy's answer was>>>> Good luck LOL.
 
I just don't see Belton as an OT. Taking a conversion project like this in Rd 2 seems like a misuse of draft capital. I mocked him to the Packers in Rd3 though I thought he could last until Rd4, because of the likely conversion.

Hopefully he can be an OG. It seems with the Banks signing that they want to get bigger at OG. I'm starting to think maybe ML is playing a part in this direction change because these "big" guys seem to go a bit against the grain of the TT/Gute mold at OL. Either way, for everyone's sake, I hope it works, but I have doubts.
