Draft Damien Lewis to replace Trai Turner

I don’t know much about Damian Lewis, but do know it’s easier to replace Guards than Left Tackles. I think we draft a Guard/center in the first 3 rounds 

And? Right now we are down two starting Gs and our C sucked balls for $9M. We draft a C/G, which we should have done last year instead of Little and we still have a crappy C and a hole at the other G. In 2021, we’ll likely have two holes again. It’s too bad in two solid interior OL drafts the past two years we drafted 0 Cs or Gs after losing Norwell and Kalil. In 3 years we’ve lost the entire starting interior OL we had in 2017 and we did zippo in the past two drafts. We’ve got 3 more tackles for the LT spot though. Maybe we can break our sacks given up record in 2020.

You mean this Damien Lewis??

 

That is the reason one will be a top 10 pick and the other a mid rounder. Derrick Brown would have done the same damn thing to “pro bowler” Trai Turner.

If Lewis can play similar to pre contract Turner he will be a steal in the 4th.

These guys are like twins. Both are right guards from LSU who's strengths are in run blocking. Very similar in size, build, and draft profile. He would be a steal in the 4th round.

 

 

Yes, and Lloyd Cushenberry, Joe Brady might like that. I also like Onwenu from Michigan.

Hennessy from Temple in the third round, play him at guard for a season before moving him to Center next season. If Paradis can hold up and hopefully show some ability. 

If Paradis is still broken down, can move Hennessy right to center, and develop a guard.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
