How Would You Feel About Drafting Oline in R1 Now That We've Got Paradis and D.Williams?

I'm curious about how you guys feel about this. I've lately been going through quite a few mocks and most of them have the premier Dline talent flying off the board before pick 16. That leaves us pretty much with several options but most mocks have us selecting Oline. 

I think I'd like this. We've seen how this team gets shredded once we have 1 or 2 Oline go down so.. Honestly I'm willing to wait another year to find a long term solution to our pass rush if it means completely beefing up the Oline and having a dominant road grinding big men that don't let anyone even sniff Cam in the pocket. 

Here's my most recent mock as an example with 2 olinemen in the first 3 picks. In this mock a bunch of DEs all flew off before our pick as per usual. What say you?

I've been going back and forth. Basically in Round 1 my choice would be in the following order assuming Sweat and Oliver are off the board. 

1. Burns - has jumped to my number one. I would probably even take over Sweat.

2. Jonah Williams - he can start as guard and move to left tackle or stay guard

3. Gary- I think he drops but is still behind the other 2.

I would if the DE you want doesn't fall to us. There's no guarantee Moton or Williams doesn't get hurt. And If he was that good, Moton could play LG and that's an upgrade or there's a 1st rd rated OT/OG that might be worth it (Cody Ford) that maybe we move a few spots back and get and pick up another 3rd.  I actually think this is a smarter move if who they really want is gone..

I'd feel super great about it. Go rewatch Cam getting pummeled a few times and you will feel great about it too

Cam and the other two QBs 

the owner said what he wanted and he writes the checks 

Hard to believe the people putting so much faith in two linemen coming off injury

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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
