How much trust do you have in Gettleman/Rivera in Offensive Tackle evaluation?

[Jeremy Igo]

Just curious. 

 

Obviously last year's starting tackles were very bad. Foucault was even worse. 

 

They did manage to find a decent player in Remmers, but he only saw playing time due to injury. 

 

 

So... moving forward to 2015... how much trust do you have in their ability to evaluate tackles?

Tackles and WR's both worry me

[Shadow]

The guy has an impeccable eye for talent and value.  He has given me no reason to not have faith in his evaluation skills.  

 

TL;DR bup bup bup bup bup

[Frank Hollywood]

Rivera? Zero.

 

Gettleman? Remains to be seen.

[Mol3m4n]

After last year, I'm not sure.

[MCC]

I think Oline talent is what Rivera knows the least about.  He's shown time and time again that he doesn't know to place the best players out there.

 

We seemed to have no choice in playing Bell, but goddamn, Chandler, Silatolu, and Kugbila are all linked to him.

Maybe I'm being naive but I trust them both to do their jobs in evaluating every position. What else can I do? I don't like to complain.

The utmost.

I think last year was a result of dealing with the Hurney cap situation and the OTs were more a product of the cap than Gettleman and Rivera truly believing they were the solution. So the jury is still out in my opinion.

He picked two pretty good guards.

[Gucci Mane]

yea being that LT is the second most important position its not something you can just lock up right away without ruining the teams future.

^^^ this

 

if we can't re-sign our own guys, how can we bring in decent L/R Tackles? Plus in the draft, the L/R Tackles went early.

 

btw where did some of those top tackle draft picks end up playing? at guard, so yeah I trust Gettleman's Tackle evals

 

We had a quart worth of roster holes, and only a pint worth of available solutions. Pint can't hold a quart, but the pint does the best it can

If the Dolphins hadn't taken James (who very few had projected that high) we would have our LT because Gman has already commented on how highly they rated him. Which begs another question, JJ or KB.

I don't think the improvement we saw once gett's signings and picks started getting playing time was a coincidence.
