Quote:Bradfield this season has proved that he is more then capable of starting in a bind and will be a great swing tackle. I feel like Pasztor is the RT of the future and will only continue to improve. 

 

We definitely need to add some talent in the interior so Rackley can be pushed out of a staring position or improve win his starting spot. In either situation the guy who loses the competition will be a better backup then Brewster currently is.

 

A replacement for Meester is also needed. Whether through the draft or free agency we need an upgrade.

i agree with almost all of this

 

bradfield has played relatively well and deserves his spot as rotational/ back up and to fight for lt with joeckel, patzor deserves to keep his rt spot to see if he can develop into that other bookend

particularly against the texans he seemed to be getting more push in the run game after being very good in pass coverage thus far

 

i personally would like rackley gone, multiple penalties, the hands to the face penalties kill me, sacks and just general poor play (though he looked good in movement blocking in the run game springing a couple of long runs for mjd) mean he is the liability on our line.

 

Brewster is his back up and if he can't beat rackley out well i would cut brewster and let rackely and a new left guard fight it out.

 

As for centre, i think it's time to move on from meester.

 

I hope we take travis swanson in the second round perhaps trading down to later in the round and still getting him as from what I have seen he just seems solid on both run and pass protection. His feet look good though I seem him stuff up his man and not clear him out in the running game, though nfl conditioning programmes should help that. I'm hoping to see him look solid in the senior bowl and think he could be a lock at centre for years to come
