yes I don't think hell go top 10, I do think he will go first round just not in top 10.

even money....
Alright. Do you think there's a flaw in him as a prospect that will make him drop or something else?

He's not a great run blocker. He struggles to push defenders backward on the line of scrimmage. He's great once he's in the second level, though. He uses his athleticism well in space and gets to his target more often than not.

Every player has a weakness, and if you're a top ten pick scouts are going to nitpick.

Yeah, it all depends on how a team evaluates their tackles and what their offensive philosophy is. Tunsil or Stanley for first tackle off the board.

Damn! Are you guys saying that I should dump Ask Jeeves for Yahoo?
Yeah, man - GeoCities is the future.
Haha, talked through my ass again. Sorry.
Happens to the best of us lol
I hope Ronnie goes in the top 5, just want to see him make great early money and have a successful, long career.
All depends on where the chips fall. Should be top-10 for sure, depending on combine and team needs COULD be #1. My guess is 6-8.

NOoooooooo way, but honestly thank you for the four years and becoming a dominate LT. You and Zach Martin have helped pave the way for the new O line U

Yep, NMart will join them, and then there are about eight to ten more coming through the assembly line.

.... maybe it should be called the DISassembly Line.

I think Stanley's presence this year when he could have left was very important. Stanley helped ND smoothly bridge the gap. The great young talent will be ready to kick ass next year.

While he may have had the lowest percentage of the lineman, you also need to take into consideration the fact that he's playing the blind side, which means he typically dealt with the best pass rusher and two guys coming from his side many times.

Also if I remember correctly some of the plays (when you're looking at left tackles the success rate can be influenced by a handful of plays), it had more to do with Kaizer's wrong moves in the pocket than Stanley's mistakes. I think there was another one where Stanley gave up a sack because he tripped over Nelson who was knocked over behind him.

Stellar ND career. Amazing we went from Zach Martin (who may have had the greatest career in ND history at O-line) to Stanley at LT. Keep them big uglies coming!

Bingo! Been pointing that out for weeks.

Scott Wright has Ronnie going 11th overall to Da Bears
A combination of age, injuries and a large salary cap number will likely lead to a parting of ways with Jermon Bushrod this offseason. If that comes to fruition it will be imperative that the Bears shore up an offensive line which already had some weak links. Notre Dame OT Ronnie Stanley definitely passes the eyeball test, with a linear physique reminiscent of a power forward in the NBA. A terrific athlete with incredible feet, Stanley excels in pass protection and while not a dominant run blocker more than gets the job done in that aspect of the game as well. However, Stanley does still have some occasional lapses and must continue to work on mastering the finer points and nuances of the position. Stanley could easily come off the board in the Top 10 overall but if he is still available this appears to be a perfect fit. If Stanley is gone Ohio St. OT Taylor Decker would be a reasonable alternative. Otherwise look for Chicago to turn their attention to the other side of the ball and address the defense. Specifically the secondary where they could use another top cover guy to plug in opposite Kyle Fuller.

My luck - Decker ends up in a Bears uniform and my fanhood is put to the test.

Stanley would undoubtedly be a complete steal at #11 for da Bears.

Let's not go whole, hog, Kermit. The man never stood more than 6'4"!

One of the big urban legends of all time. Chuck's closer to 6-6 with shoes on.

You can look at any picture with him and MJ and see they are within a half inch of each other.
