LTs are nice but is anyone really thinking if an EDGE player is available we aren’t going that route?  These dudes are the second most important position.  We probably reach if one is there too.  If we don’t pick an EDGE then no one decent is available.  Agree?  These EDGE players are getting huge deals.  Says something IMO.

Yep. I believe if sweat and or my boy clelin is there for us, we will pick one of those guys. I hope we go LT but my gut tells me that's where we will go.

I don’t disagree... the pass rushers are getting QB back money... no way we can afford a Lawrence type contract...have to draft one

I haven't gotten the obsession with a tackle at 16.  We did a great job shoring up the OL in FA, so now we should focus on the edge rush early in the draft.  Of course, BPA with needs still in mind, but an edge rusher to develop is still what we need at 16.

If Sweat/Clelin are not available who else is worth a shot at 16? We could very well go BPA. We wont reach for a need especially if that player is not a 1st round talent. We could find a DE in the 2nd round.

Second most important position? I would say that about LT. It is incredibly more challenging to find a top tier left tackle that will be your tackle for years to come than it is to find an edge rusher. Since Jordan Gross retired we have yet to find his replacement. In that same amount of time we have had plenty of good edge rushers.  

I would take either, but I don't understand why so many of you are dismissive about LT and shouting edge rusher like crazy. I know it's a more flashy position but it's not more important than having a long term LT protecting your franchise QB. We released Kalil, William's can't play it and is coming off injury, and Moton has never played it. I don't get why you all are so sure that we are set there. Fixing the Oline was clearly our front office's #1 priority this offseason and I don't think they are done. They have yet to address LT in my opinion.

There is only one spot in our line I that has any certainty and that's at RG with Trai Turner. Every other spot could go in shambles once the season starts.

Moton a college LG and RT. Played well at RT. People are crowning him at LT from one start against a bad early season Cowboys. 

Paradis despite his accolades was bought for cheap because of injuries

Ditto to Williams whose injuries affected his contract negotiations with teams

Van Roten is just serviceable.

 

Offensive Line is still just as much a priority as Defensive Line.

IDK what the pick will be but i think we can take OT first and still get help at DE...after the fiasco last yr and getting everyone hurt my main concern is pass protection and overall QB protection...I don't see Sweat or any of the glam picks their at 16...

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
