Walker Little needs to be at LT this Summer. If he loses to Cam Robinson, so be it. He moves to RT.

I am testing Cam Robinson out at LG and RT regardless though which puts Bartch and Shatley back to rotational and depth positions where they should be at honestly to help out if Fortner falters in year two.

I am drafting at least two lineman from this class that offer versatility. Cody Mauch immediately jumps out at me in this regard. I think a good bargain option at RT is Darnell Wright in RD2 or Blake Freeland in RD3.

These are my guys though that I particularly like from the offensive line group and I have the round in which I think it's possible we can land them, with or without a little bit of moving around.

RD2, RD4 and RD6 are prime rounds IMO for our team to get a quality starter in year one, or, at the minimum, a swing tackle player or guard that can work his way up into a starting role in year two, three.

RD1:
Broderick Jones - OT
O'Cyruss Torrence - OG

RD2:
Dawand Jones - OT
Darnell Wright - OT
Blake Freeland - OT
Cody Mauch - OG
Luke Wypler - C

RD3:
Jayland Duncan - OT
Joe Tippmann - C

RD4:
Warren McClendon - OT
Andrew Vorhees - OG
Jarrett Patterson - OG

RD6:
TJ Bass - OT
Wanya Morris - OT
Jaxson Kirkland - OG

RD7:
Connor Galvin - OT
Dalton Wagner - OT
Alex Forysth - C

I'd agree with most of this ... Baalkes biggest problem of the off-season by far for me! 

Lost his right tackle, but has a ready made replacement ... Who looks better at left tackle, his left tackle gets temperamental whenever the prospect of dropping to Right tackle or guard is mentioned, the guards could be questionable or decent and one could even go back to all pro, his centre has a decent rookie year, but needs to improve, the backups are patchy but the good news is his quarterback is exceptional at escaping pressure... Until the day he isnt and gets injured ... Then Trent gets the sack!!!

It's like a magic eye, stare at it long enough and you'll see a massive pickle!

I'll defer to your judgement on actual prospects, you clearly have a far greater knowledge than i, but unless the draft just falls disastrously for us i can't really see any scenario where we don't (at least) double dip along the o line...

If there's a plug and play guy there in the first round i'd fire the card to Goodell with a catapult! And if we could find another steady man somewhere along the line that would be ideal. If it goes well this draft has real potential to shove us into that ratified air at the too of the AFC

Isaiah Foskey was already one of my top guys.  After losing Smoot and Key he's definitely a possibility at 24 imo

I agree. Unless they make some moves today I am thinking the draft flows as follows:

RD1: Pass Rusher - Could be interior or exterior
RD2: Offensive Lineman 
RD3: Offensive Lineman
RD4: Nickel CB/Pass Rusher
RD6: Safety/Pass Rusher/Tight End/
RD7: Offensive Lineman

They'll probably move up at some point though. With a pair of 4th RD selections and a trio of 6th RD selections I just can't see them sitting on all of that. Unless they feel confident they'll need every selection to shore up the depth chart. Which, again, won't really know for sure until more news breaks today.

Yeah, I still think Bresee is a possibility.  Still really want Kancey but I don't think Baalke would take him.  Doug would have to pound the table for him

I'll tell your right now. I don't like Bresee. Getting Taven Bryan vibes from him already. Classic underachiever and already has a history with injuries. No [BLEEP] thank you. Would rather see them REACH for a different player at that point.

Underacheaver after the injury.  He was 1st team All ACC as a freshman, made 2nd team All ACC last year the year aftervthe ACL tear.  Which with a ACL it usually takes the 2nd year after together back to where he was previously was.  I'd definitely rather go a different route although he feels like a Baalke guy.  I'd easily rather Foskey.

Scares the heck out of me as he is definitely a Baalke kind of guy.

Slowing down at work. Quick picks. Traded down with Dallas. Moved down from 24 to 26 and swapped out a 4th RD pick for a 3rd RD pick in the deal.

Anton Harrison - OT - 26th overall
Cody Mauch - OG/OT - 56th overall
Sydney Brown - S - 88th overall
Sam LaPorta - TE - 90th overall
Zach Harrison - EDGE - 121st overall
Andrew Vorhees - OG - 127th overall
Keondre Coburn - NT - 202nd overall
Nick Herbig - EDGE - 208th overall
Ja'Von Hicks - S - 226th overall

My line of thinking with the first two picks. Due to Little's inexperience and Robinson being injury prone. We need an OT early. Harrison plays LT but I think a good summer battle between him, Robinson and Little should offer value and at the minimum provide a swing tackle.

Mauch is a swing tackle as well but I think he'll be a good guard that can also compete with Bartch and/or replace Scherff in 2024. Again, protecting Lawrence is crucial. The more big, athletic bodies we have on this roster. The better. Anton Harrison had a solid 8.22 RAS score. Would be higher if his height was an inch taller. Big whoop.

Snagging Brown and LaPorta in RD3 are steals as far as I am concerned. Brown fills the nickel void and offers safety support. LaPorta is a tackle breaking machine at his position. Compliments Engram well. Harrison and Vorhees offer depth on the Dline and Oline. Coburn can fill in for Fatukasi. Herbig is a tweener but a highly productive tweener coming out of Wisconsin. Will be great on ST's with his size and tenacity.

Hicks is a highly decorated safety leaving Cinci. We need some back up options there to develop incase things happen with Cisco and Jenkins. At the minimum he offers ST's play with his size and speed.

Like the emphasis on offensive line. Harrison would be a steal and Vorhees could be a starter in 2024 after rehab. LaPorta is one of my favorite value picks in this draft anytime in the 3rd round.

Thanks. Was trying to be quick with this one. Didn't want to over think it. My logic was hit every need, thinking long term and banking on our 3rd and 2nd year investments on defense getting better to where my selections on that side should be role specific as rookies.

Harrison and Herbig replacing the work of Key and Smoot. Coburn offering heavy upfront interior push if Fatukasi goes down again and Brown and Hicks offering versatility and starting potential early or at least in 2024 to backfill in the secondary.

I feel like the 3rd round is my best round overall. Brown and LaPorta offering the most bang for our buck at positions we need serious depth at.

Yeah, that's a damn good draft.  I've been debating on which tackle I like better out of Harrison and Wright.  I think Harrison could play LG his rookie year at a high level and even play RT if needed.  Wright is a huge man that testest well athletically, dominated Will Anderson , and has played RT and LT.  I really like both if we want either. Steals in the 3rd

Thanks. Agreed on Wright. He's another name to watch. Just interested to see if they'll try and add an inexpensive veteran or two maybe this weekend or next week once the first wave of big names is wrapped up.

Surely Baalke can't mess this up....right? Right ????

Rd. 1: O'Cyrus Torrence (OG) 24th overall

Rd. 2: Clark Phillips (CB/Nickel) 56th overall

Rd. 3: Isaiah Foskey (Edge) 88th overall

Rd. 4: Tyjae Spears (RB) 121 overall

Rd. 4: Payne Durham (TE) 127th overall

Rd. 6: Jerrod Clark (DL) 185th overall

Rd. 6: Dontay Demus (WR) 202nd overall


I took Torrence 1st despite being lower on my Board than Branch. Just felt like I could get a good nickel in rounds 2 or 3. I actually had the choice between Phillips and Antonio Johnson; either of these in round 2 would be fantastic. No way Foskey will drop to round 3, but somehow he was still on the Board so that was a no brainer. I'm not sure I could get a better combination of OL, nickel and Edge, the 3 biggest needs, than these 3 players. Spears and Durham in the 4th were excellent value picks and both should get playing time as rookies. I believe the tight end class is very deep and the Jaguars should be able to land a good player at this position at the beginning of Day 3 of the draft. The last 2 picks will likely end up on the practice squad. Demus' length will be an asset if he is able to stay healthy.

The weakness of this group is that there are no offensive tackles. They definitely need to add a swing tackle either in free agency or the draft. I love Torrence's run blocking and have him slightly ahead of Harrison and Wright despite the fact that he is limited to guard while the other two are more versatile.

This is solid. I like it! Foskey in RD3 is a steal IMHO. Me and Cleatwood have been hyping up Demus now for awhile since last year. He really reminds me of AJ Green build and route running wise. Just has some injury concerns nagging him but he's a guy you can slowly develop. 

Torrence and Phillips are plug and play from day one IMHO. Didn't know a thing about Spears until yesterday until when flgator mentioned him. He looks like a Pederson type of back. Can catch out of the backfield, can do the wildcat, has a good bit of patience to him with some wiggle. I would love that pick there in RD4. 

There's some eyes on him from the NFC South as well. Looks like he's meeting with us, Atlanta and New Orleans.

This would be a great draft.  I think it's possible Foskey could get drafted before we pick in the 1st.  He'll of a draft though
