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 will say that Dan came into a fvcked up situation (perhaps partly his making, but that's another discussion). We were devoid of talent, cash-strapped and draft-position-challenged. Plus, he had to have time to develop a plan and acquire the right staff. I think that he's made some inroads on the offense (though still a work in progress), now he has a little latitude to focus on improving the defense. If he doesn't address two of the three major needs on defense this year, there is really no excuse. The only fly in that ointment will possibly be the Ickey injury (and two a lesser extent BC). We may have to prepare ourselves for a trade-back. I don't know how we're going to do everything without more picks. Morgan and Tillis have to work some magic, otherwise we may be thinking that the FO is wilfully ignoring critical positions again. We absolutely need an LT, a pass rusher, a middle 'backer, and a safety. How are we going to get viable talent at all these positions? It's going to be interesting to see what happens, but I'm thinking we have to acquire more picks.
    • There's only 32 NFL HC jobs available. It's not like you can just sit back and wait for the perfect opportunity. For the money it pays, I'll go out to Vegas and make a complete ass of myself with a poo eating grin you couldn't beat off my face with a crowbar.  
    • This is complicated by him being a UFA and being unable to pass a physical. Also, he isn't young to be having that sort of injury.  As fantastic as he has been, the plan SHOULD be to get another quality utility OL in the draft and if BC becomes available, sign him off the couch when he is ready to go. He won't have many suitors(as he didn't last season) so I suspect this will be an option. Curhan was fine...for a PS player. I do think we need to aim higher there, as well.
