WR or OT

Posted in another thread, but applies here: 

 

 

The bright side now that this season is officially in the toilet? We will be adding a major talent on either the offensive line or a stud playmaker for Cam. We will most likely be picking top 5 and should have a good shot at either Amari Cooper, Andrus Peat, or Brandon Scherff.

 

With Peat or Scherff, the line next season would probably look like:

 

Peat or Scherff/Norwell/Kalil/Turner/Bell 

 

which would be an exponential upgrade over this season's line IMO.

 

Or if we take Cooper, can you imagine Cooper and Benjamin outside the numbers, Philly in the slot, and Olsen patrolling the middle with an actual NFL caliber OC? 

 

And even if the stud ex-QB offensive playmakers are somehow picked ahead of us, there's great defensive line talent in Leonard Williams, Randy Gregory, or Shane Ray (personally I would advocate a trade down if those 3 offensive players I mentioned are gone by the time we pick, but still, good talent available).

Kevin White or Cooper. You don't pass on a potentially elite player to take a need. Especially as high as we'll be drafting. I question whether any of the OT in this class are elite. 

 

I'd go with either Cooper or Collins, and I'd rather have Collins. Collins fits a need and is a potentially elite player. I would be upset if we took a OT first. We'll have enough cap space with Hardy off the books to sign actually serviceable tackles and can draft some in the 2nd/3rd/4th.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
