One heck of a guard from UCLA. I wouldn't be too excited about this pick if it happened but he passes the "big men allow you to compete" test and could very likely be the best player available at 28 regardless of position.

We don't know how Amini will come back from injury and the right side guard position is up in the air. I'm not really in favor of taking a guard this high but he could come in and really get the running game going and be a dominant offensive linemen for a long time.

If we are building from the inside out, Silatolu-Kalil-Su'a Filo is a dang good interior line going forward. I want an OT or WR in the first just as much as anyone else but depending on how the draft unfolds, Su'a Filo could very well be the best player and highest rated on or board. All-pro potential at #28 can't be overlooked.

Considering the opportunity cost of drafting a guard along with the monetary cost of said guard, let alone him being a rookie, I would be pissed if we drafted a guard in the first round.

 

I would literally be happier with any other position besides maybe center. There are plenty of experienced guards that would be relatively cheap and give you the same or better impact right away...and wouldn't cost a first round pick.

I would love Su'a-Filo. For the people who think that he's just another guard have never seen him play. The guy is a beast.

While he wouldn't be my first option there, I wouldn't mind it all.

Even if he's the best guard in the NFL immediately, would you trade a first round draft pick for the best guard in the NFL? I know I wouldn't.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      3rd and Chandler Zavala.......... Id toss in Yohsi or Brano/DJ Johnson if that's what it took to get the trade done.    Bungals need OL B-A-D   Its un-godly to treat a unique HOF level level like Burrow with the OL they have and seems going to this year. People forgot during that bungal SB year, Burrow was sacked like 62 times and I believe had the highest hurries as well. They should be in jail for this, no memeing....

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Basbear · Posted

      I will admit this- Kon doesn't look or play like a 19 year. Much bigger and filled out than I thought he was. Plus initiate the offense during his best quarter and he did make some good passes for FG attempts.   I watch NBA years ago and was a top 3 fantasy yahoo managers for years. Many times a player had like 30 points, it mostly came from one or 2 hot quarters. The others were 5 and 0, so his 16 point game is normal in that regard.    If Ball, bridges, and Miller allow Kon to be apart of the team, just depends on if he clicks of not. Another generic white guy comp popped in my head........he of hornet lore-Gordon Hayward 15 points 5 rebs 3.5 asst Maybe??
