IMO This draft is too stacked with RB to take one early, especially with our O-line.

 

I would draft Nick Chubb in the second 

Need to address OL in Free Agency. Go get Matt Kalil (for a discount because of injury and his bro,) Jordan Mills, and Chance Warmack. Put them with Turner and Ryan Kalil and we're good to go for 3-4 years easy.

Ideally I would trade down in the first and pick up an extra pick and draft him or Cook and an offensive tackle. Kind of like the Stewart/Otah draft. That would be the best case scenario for the first round for us but Gettlemen will take some defensive guy at a position we don't need that will sit on the bench

Don't get rid of Norwell 

He'll still be on the team, but he'll have to earn his PT.

Our line has been too bad this year not to make everyone compete next year.

Turner will be in a contract year, if we don't extend him. Let Norwell fight it out with Warmack (or even Jonathan Cooper if we want to spend a little more) for the other G spot. Whomever loses the battle with be a solid rotational guy should we need him like we did this year.

Why do people keep suggesting matt Kalil?? he is garbage. if the Vikings want think enough to resign him as bad as there line is why should we??

He's not garbage. He's just been banged up after a little bit of a slump. We have the space. Minnesota doesn't.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
