I don’t think Little can be a guard. Maybe Daley but tackle hit rates are suspect. We’d be risking, yet again, not improving the OL. We are in the mess we are now because we thought we could replace Norwell and Kalil with an UDFA and two guys coming off bad season ending injuries and that all we needed to focus on was a LT. I don’t want to keep ignoring the interiors. Yes, CMC is great but when push came to shove and we needed a power play, we came up short every time and need I remind you of how easy it was for teams to roll right through us. If we ignore DT and G/C, it’ll be the same thing except that we will be forced to continue to pay 25% of our cap on mediocre C/G/DT play.

It’s not just a get a better player, it’s also the fact that our weakest spots are killing our cap.

The risk of "missing" is a terrible excuse to not try to improve a glaring weakness. The risk of missing on a draft pick always exists regardless of position.

Thomas is good.

But this is a Strong OT class. Wirfs and Wills are still better than any OT from last years class.  No need to move up for Thomas 

Yeah there are plenty good OT’s but I believe Thomas is way better than everyone else, I think he’s on elite level.

We need less vegans in the trenches then.

NFL needs to go to an incentive based pay system... it could be tweaked to where a player doesnt get totally fked but guard against the player 'getting paid' and turning to total sht on performance...got to have some accountability with these contracts with an expectation to perform...not heres the ***** money..

You'd be suprised

And actually know a few people who think Wirfs or Wills jumps Thomas in the draft 

 

There are 3 REALLY good OTs in this class and some Studs not far behind

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
