Anybody besides me nervous about offensive tackle?

As we all know, the best prospect for OT that is on the team right now is probably Bell, and I'm not sold on the idea that he can protect Cam on a consistent basis. Looking at the remaining OT's left in the draft, I really don't see anyone who has the ability to become a starter this season...  is this pretty much what everyone else is thinking or is there a hidden gem left that Dave will surprise us with?

I really trust Gettleman and Rivera to find an answer, even if just temporary. Lets be completely honest. Bell at LT would suck but it would not be the end of the world, and he would be good enough not to cause us to lose games. If we draft a OT in Rds 2 or 3, it's pretty likely he'll start at RT, maybe even LT, and while that would be a downgrade from Gross, it would be a huge upgrade over Bell (I understand he'll likely start at the other spot, but we have time to find a true answer, Bell will do just fine for now if it even comes to that). So we'd be in a similar position to last season, even with Bell starting. I'm a tad nervous, but I'm very far from worried about it.

Gross said Bell could play LT

Rivera said Bell could play LT

Gettleman said Bell could play LT

Kalil said Bell could play LT

 

Huddle says bell can't play LT

 

I am in the wait and see category myself.   I am sure there will be some OL drafted and then it's a best man up type of mentality.

Anyone can play any position. The question is will be be good. 

 

Bell sucks and unfortunately is our only T on the roster with any experience. What you expect Gross and the coaches to say?

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
