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.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
