Welcome Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

[Velo]

I’m surprised. I think they would’ve picked MHJ if the Cards had not. I think they had some concerns about Nabers. He’s not a complete WR like MHJ. I’m surprised they didn’t draft Bowers though. Alt had better be great. Herbert better not be sacked off the edge one time this season. They passed up some good players to get Alt.

Alt just turned 21 - tons of upside.

[FtheTurds]

Very Happy!!!

[Boltx]

Curious what the next plan is, do they go WR, or a D-line player in the 2nd.

Interior DL needs help.

We will no longer be soft.

[dmac_bolt]

This is a very clean prospect.

Much better than Latham imo. Solid cornerstone.

We now have bookend tackles, the first thing Harbaugh said is we have to protect Herbert! We got the #1 OT in the draft and Jim was true to his word!

[gzubeck]

Well, they must really like our TCU receivers...If we don't go receiver in the second I'm not sure Herbert will have anyone to throw to...

[Boltx]

Max Crosby will not touch our guy

[Canal Zone Bolt Fan]

Bookend tackles for the next 10 years, fellas. Insurance policy in case Slater gets hurt or play regresses and they decide to move on in a few years.

These are the kind of guys that you build a new culture and foundation around. Not diva WRs or undersized TEs.

This will go down as one of the moves that helped turn this franchise around.

We'll get a serviceable WR prospect day 2 and/or next year.

100%

[FoutsFan]

So do we move him to right tackle? Can he do that? Do we even know?

If he can’t we just flushed the #5 pick down the toilet.

[Velo]

Does Alt become LT and Slater moves to RT, or?

[Parcells]

O-Line will certainly be beastly now, and give Herbert plenty of time to throw.
Our RBs also probably loving this.

Curious what the next plan is, do they go WR, or a D-line player in the 2nd.

With our trash receiving core we’re gonna face 8 and 9 man boxes. That will translate to being tough to run and teams not afraid to blitz because we don’t have any receivers that can beat single coverage. This pick makes me hate QJ that much more. What a waste of a pick. At least the people who made that pick were fired.
