I think that this guy could be available in round 2 for us.  His motor might be a reason he drops.

Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA: The former Bruin looked like a decathlete on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf while running through drills. The 6-9, 309-pounder breezed through the 40-yard dash in 4.95 seconds (with a remarkable 1.67-second 10-yard split), while also posting a 31.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump. Miller followed his dazzling athletic display with a strong positional workout where he exhibited outstanding movement skills and lateral quickness in drills. Although this enticing athleticism doesn't always show up on his game tape, Miller's stellar workout could propel him into the Day 1 discussion.

OL isn’t getting addressed day 1 or even day 2 imo. There is more than enough depth if Norv can tweak the offense to not leave Cam out to dry. The OL doesn’t need high draft picks...our skill (lack thereof) positions need those picks. 

 

As Polian used to say...give me TD makers and guys that disrupt the QB in round 1-2.

I think that if we don-t take McGlinchey in the first,  then OT won't be addressed until day 3. The same with DE. 

That being said,  it's all about two of the three positions on day two: safety, receiver or  running back.

I would not be surprised if we bring Stewart back on a better deal.  

Safety is a no doubt but IMO DE and OL is a higher priority than RB and Receiver.

We currently don’t have a guy I would trust to be a legit #1 guy at WR. Nobody is game planning for Funchess. Olsen used to be that guy...remains to be seen if he can return to pre-injury form. But there needs to be someone who can take the top off a defense. If Ridley (or another potential 1 WR) is there or if there is a RB the staff thinks is a Kamara-type home run threat then you take that guy. 

 

I would not sleep on Sony Michel. CMC gives Norv the flexibility to move him around to almost anywhere he wants. He does not have to be an exclusive RB. So giving him 7-8 carries a game and 10 targets a game could be a better use for him than lining him up in Norv’s eyes. So that leaves hopefully in this offense about 15-20 carries for a true #1. Michel could be that guy....

I think D Williams and Moton are our future LT and RT

Too many other things we will need right away to put your 1st round plug and play pick behind 2 other guys and sitting on the bench.

Glaring hole at LG will need to be addressed to start with, maybe a safety although not sure one can start right away.  Possibly a TE or WR depending on what Turner thinks and then we will have to pick up a RB.  Most of this ahead of OT

2nd round maybe, but not first

Basically what I'm saying is that after day 1, I think that all the O-Lineman and Defensive Ends worth spending a high pick on will be gone.  I still believe that you will be able to find day one starters, or at least better value, at the other positions,  particularly RB, safety and receiver.

I hope you think Morton is LT because I’ve seen people mentions Williams at LT and that’s a no go. He was a RT through college and is a RT only. If you watched him in preseason this year they tried him a few times at LT and he looked awful and they stopped doing that. We need to just leave him there and extend him and develop a LT, hopefully Moton. 

Yeah, I think Williams is by far best suited at RT. Unfortunately, I'm not sold on Moton at LT either. If we don't think he can play LT, then we need to just go ahead and kick him inside to LG and be done with it.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By SOJA · Posted

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      By SOJA · Posted

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
