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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
