He was the most penalized OT in the NFL last year. That is far from successful. He has a lot to prove. A lot.

I have Slater and Vera Tucker as pure OG's. I think both could be very good pros if lined up on the interior. For OT, I really like Jenkins, Eichenberg and Radunz, but I hate Cosmi. He's way too raw and really needs a lot of work on his pass protection. I honestly don't know if he'd be any better than Robinson.

That's how I see it...but I see a run at the position starting around pick 18-19. I believe the better chance is for us to upgrade RT and maybe draft depth at LT a little later. Not that LT is a lesser need than RT. I just think the run will take away most of the pontential starting LTs, which is another reason I think we should pursue Trent Williams.

I am all for pursuing Trent Williams. He should be our #1 free agent priority. With Slater, it's his build. He is listed at 6'3" which means he's likely 6'2" and some change. Looking around the NFL, you don't see any great OT's that short. With Vera Tucker, he gets into trouble in space against speed rushers. I believe pushing him inside to OG where he has help on either side, would benefit him a lot. Both look to have bright futures as OG's, Slater in particular. I believe he could be a pro bowler.

Agreed. I wouldn't take a Safety until the 3rd round. It's a fairly deep class, but absolutely no one has separated from the pack. There are several very good players in the class, just no elite prospects.

To be clear, I am not locked in to taking a T at 25. I often speculate about taking a T at 25 because it seems that's where need may meet value at that spot in the draft based on everything I have seen. Circumstances could easily dictate going in another position there (i.e. we sign Trent Williams). Furthermore, given what Meyer said about not having to "blow up" the offensive line, I think the chances are substantial that we not go T at that spot. You and I agree that it is of paramount importance we hit on the player taken, irrespective of position. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
(02-23-2021, 07:42 PM)Bullseye Wrote:I also agree it is paramount that we must "hit" at the LT position. We cannot just throw anyone into that spot. We finally have a franchise QB and throwing a sub-par LT in there to protect him could be disastrous. That's why I think we're pretty much all in agreement that our #1 option should be doing whatever we have to in order to sign Trent Williams in free agency. If we did that, we could use that #25 pick for one of the better CB's or DE/DT's that could fall. Although at some point in the draft, I'd still be on the lookout for competition for the RT job.(02-23-2021, 06:21 PM)flgatorsandjags Wrote: I dont want to just find a starting T at 25, we need to be trying to find the Best Player Available whether it's LB, safety, CB or whatever

Exactly. It goes like this: 1. If we sign Trent WIlliams, T becomes much lower on the list of priorities. LT is solved...RT can be found in later rounds, though I sure wouldn't mind a Jalen Mayfield at the top of the 2nd. We wouldn't need to trade the 25 for Brown. 2. If we either re-sign Cam Robinson, or sign a guy like Villanueva, we are not out of the woods at LT, and still have the question at RT. The T position is a huge need, and not only do we need to prioritize the position, we may need to trade up to adequately address it. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

I don't get this mental stumbling block that makes you obsessively think that any time someone mentions a certain position it automatically makes it a reach. We are perfectly capable of blending need and value when we makes our wish lists. Also, Dyami is going to be gone by the end of day 2 imo.

If it's one of those time when BPA meets needs then that's perfect. But I disagree all those guys you mentioned will be in the top tier available when it's our pick. I'd be food with Dyami in the 3rd or 4th depending on who is still on the board, that's why I added mid to late We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

At this point, we're just trying to add enough pieces to be competitive. I'll worry about depth, once we get starters at key positions. |
