Sooooooo Left Guard at #24

IDK, getting the best OG not named Quentin Nelson or the #3 OR 4 SAF. Unless its James, Reid isn't higher on my priorities than one of Hernandez/Wynn/Price

I also don't see any way Ragnow is there with the 85th pick....I think he goes late 2nd.

 

I like Reid...

Exactly that means it's been that way. It's common for rookies to train under RT before switching to LT....kinda like Jordan Gross among many others. Plus Rivera is the one who said he will learn both spots so not sure why you think you know more about where he is going than Rivera considering he was drafted to play T for us not OG. He can play guard as depth like many along the line can move around.
 

All this was with Norwell at OG...he can play OT as depth...like I said things change..

Maybe if Hurney signs Matthieu. 

But take this into consideration...Reid is being billed as a cerebral rangy safety. He played at Stanford and was the leader of a good defense for two years. 

He’s two inches taller than Earl Thomas. 

He ran a faster 40 than Earl Thomas

He broad jumped 2 feet further than Thomas.

The guy may be a better athlete than the guy who a lot of people is the best safety in the game since he entered the league. Honestly if Derwin James wasn’t such a physical freak then the talk of top 15 safeties would include Reid and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up going in the top 15. If he slips to us then he’d be a great pick and probably a guy like Luke, Davis, KK who’d become a staple and start for a decade for us. 

But yeah...let’s pick a guard who does one thing...when we already have multiple guys in the roster who could start at that spot.

Like Polian said...get guys who make TDs and prevent TDs. Don’t draft a OG in the first round please.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
