G Jeremiah Sirles signs one-year contract

If Hurney keeps up this ability to bargain bin hunt for depth and pay reasonable rates for big players I may just have to start liking him!! He is a LOT more like Gettleman now than he was but seems like hes willing to pay for big player here and there when we have need, which Gettles got rather obstinate and stingy about at times. I will gladly eat my crow if Hurney has metamorphosed into a legit GM.

For what it's worth from his 2014 Combine Profile - http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/jeremiah-sirles?id=2543827

 

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

 Has a big body with very long arms. Good football aptitude. Has played both sides. Three-year starter. Solid personal and football character. Good soldier who works hard and takes to coaching.

WEAKNESSES

 Limited hip snap and explosion. Average foot athlete. Stiff movement. Bends at the waist, gets his weight over his toes and falls off blocks. Struggles to shadow counters. Does not consistently generate movement in the run game.

DRAFT PROJECTION

 Round 7-Priority free agent

BOTTOM LINE

 Big, scrappy, experienced, long-armed lineman who was miscast at left tackle in college. Lacks core strength to shift inside and could struggle to be more than just a guy.

Just got done reading up on him. Can play all 5 positions on the line. Looks like he’s more of a solid depth guy than a starter.

I’m really starting to think Guard could be the pick at 24 now.

If Quenton Nelson, Will Hernandez, or Isiah Wynn are available at 24, snap'em up.

Especially Wynn who could play any damn position across the line, even as a replacement for Older Brother Kalil if you wanted him to be.

    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st. 
    • Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
