Hey all which of the following do you take? There's actually a ton to choose from, so our situation at guard and center comes at the best possible time. 

James Daniels-1st or 2nd

Frank Ragnow - 2nd or 3rd

Sean Welsh -5th or 6th

Will Clapp-4th or 5th

Billy Price - 2nd

Austin Corbett- 2nd or 3rd

Connor Williams (technically an OT/OG hybrid). I've seen scouting that says he could play center as well. 1st, probably gone by the time we pick.

Isaiah Wynn- 1st, could play anywhere on the line, likely gone by our first pick. 

Scott Quessenberry -5th or 6th

Mason Cole- seen everything from the 3rd to the 6th round.

Brian Allen - 5th to 7th

I'e left off the true guard types like Braden Smith and Will Hernandez since the flexibility to man either guard or center is the criteria. 

There are enough we could almost target one in any round. 

I say go for Ragnow in the 3rd if he's there. I also like Will Clapp in the 5th. Think he's underrated.

Ragnow is now being projected late first, early second.

Do you want an interesting LG/C prospect that NOBODY is talking about, because he is listed as a T?

Martinas Rankin, Miss St. 

Overview

As a left tackle, Rankin will struggle with edge speed and as a right tackle he may have issues as a run blocker handling the power he will face. While he offers tackle flexibility and may get an early look at right tackle, his best position might be at center where his instincts and intelligence will stand out. The further Rankin kicks inside the better he will be. He may be average as a tackle or guard, but he could become a good NFL starter if he gets his shot at center.

Ragnow, Daniels, or Price make way to much sense if this is the route we go. They play LG this year then shift over to C once Kalil retires. Immediate impact and future known benefit/roll. I'd be ok with Ragnow or Daniels in the first.

To be honest, I'd be fine grabbing someone who can play center at a high level, even if they start guard.

Looking at how the NFL free agent season went, Guards got PAID.  So I expect that teams are going to look at guys who can be really good Guards much higher than previously in order to get that 5th year option out of them.

For me, the sooner the better.  Don't expect another Norwell this summer.

I can't help but wonder what all this G/C talk means about Moton.  He had a shot last year to play some G, and we got Silatolu'ed instead.  Is Moton really being groomed to play T?  Wouldn't playing help develop him better than a second redshirt year? 

To me, there are 3 options:

1. Moton sucks

2. Moton IS going to play LG, so the Panthers will not be drafting a C early.  That is why they signed Larsen to a 1-year contract.

3. Moton is going to replace Matt Kalil this year.

 

Bonus Option:  Moton is going to play G this year, C next season.

Did you listen to The Rotoworld podcast a few days about?  Same points they made.

I am curious if there is some smoke screening going on here, the usual pre-draft stuff.  Maybe they do feel really good about Moton at LG, but they know that the 20s teams do have some needs there.  Hurn-dawg trying to get people to over draft some of these OG/Cs?  With back up plans later in the draft?

WR round 1???  Is it tomorrow yet?

Rotoworld has a podcast? 

I think we are looking WR in round 1 if Ridley or Moore is there.  If not, we trade back if we can and take a DB.

Josh Norris is the host, and it's a pretty good podcast as far as draft stuff goes.  It's very enjoyable while walking my dog and picking up her crap at 4:30 in the AM.  Maybe not life changing =)

I can't say I would be upset with either of those WRs in the first.  Anything to help the team get better, get Cam more weapons.  We need to get better in our passing game.  Either of those guys helps in different ways.

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.

      I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.

      I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
