Sam Darnold just might have a brand new best friend. Despite plenty of clamoring for his team to take a wide receiver with the 11th overall pick, Joe Douglas was always going to choose a left tackle if one fell to him, and as it turned out, there were two on the board in Mekhi Becton and Tristan Wirfs. Douglas chose the mountain of a man in Becton. A 6′ 7” 365 lb behemoth.
Ignoring the calls to use his pick on the deepest position in this class at 11 (wide receiver), Douglas showed that his primary goal is to assemble an NFL football team, not a fantasy football team.
