Kurb

Recommended Posts

LT: Nate Chandler - Andrew McDonald

LG: Amini Silatolu - Edmund Kugbila

C: Ryan Kalil - Brian Folkerts

RG: Trai Turner - Chris Scott

RT: Byron Bell - Travis Bond

Thank you for your sensible depth chart. I don't know WTH those other offensive line depth charts were in this thread.

I think Chandler will end up playing left tackle. He was better at tackle than guard and has quick feet.

Good point by James Dator on Twitter: Kalil, Turner, Silatolu....that's actually, a GOOD core we have on the line now. Tackles yeah okay, but the line as a whole isn't nearly as bad as we're thinking/thought.

 Pretty much what we were saying a month ago...yet people still overreacted. It had to be obvious we would tune up the line through the draft, but the o-line wasn't that bad off to begin with.

I switched Scott and Kugbila around on my chart since Scott played LG in preseason and regular season and Kugbila played RG and RT in college.

With adding Turner we now have options on the line. They can move pieces around in camp to field the best possible. Still have the rest of the draft and later cuts. 

 

If Bell can at least do as well on the left side as he did the right we might get by this year and grab a franchise LT next year. Then hell who knows Bell may surprise us, but i won't hold my breath.

 

Good pick up though. Love the draft so far.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
