Line building

[ImaginaryKev]

Thankfully OLine is strong this year. And if we're picking 8-12, VT Left Tackle Christian Derrisaw might be on the radar. He's apparently skyrocketing right now and looks like OT2 behind Sewell

[ImaginaryKev]

Also,  get ready for every mock draft on this board to mock Creed Humphrey to us in the 2nd round bc he has a cool name

you can get good DT in the middle rounds as you can OLine.  Yes we had needs no doubt.  We had a chance to start building the OLine in the last draft.  They decided to go cheap on the OLine.

 

From what i've seen good OTs you usually have to drive early.  OGs and DTs you can wait.  

Of course there are always exceptions but as a general rule?

Brandon Scherff and Joe Thuney are both really good guards, hopefully we can land one if not both of them in free agency.  What is our cap situation in the offseason?

Grier and little were terrible picks

Or typical hurney picks.

Rashawn Slater, OT or G, looks pretty good, maybe Day 2. He apparently played well against Chase Young a few years ago

Christian Darrisaw, VT OT2, likely

Wyatt Davis #52 for Ohio State is getting first round buzz as an OG

Trey Smith, Tennessee OG #73 is supposed to be solid too, according to PFF he pancakes everyone

Couldn't find many tweet videos of Alex Leatherwood but he plays at Alabama and I wouldn't complain if we drafted him esp if he's as good as the Alabama dude Cleveland drafted. Looks like Taylor Moton to me

 

[ImaginaryKev]

Alijah Vera Tucker is another dude who's dominant this season for Southern California, played OT and OG. #75

He looks like a Jordan Gross clone, would not mind

i mean the panthers do spend a ton of draft picks on offensive linemen, and they do it within the first three rounds generally.

Hurney just fuging cannot draft o line to save his life. 

Between Gettleman and Hurney since 2011 have drafted 6 O-linemen in the first 4 rounds.  Three have panned out Moton, Williams and Turner.  The latter two are no longer with us.

Those are some good clips.

I so badly want us to have a dominant OL.

[ImaginaryKev]

Honestly liking Vera-Tucker a lot

[ImaginaryKev]

We should trade down, esp if we are picking around 10. Notre Dame lineman have been good in the league lately, this guy might be available later in the first or on Day 2

I generally don’t like the idea of paying a lot for a LG in FA, but it might make sense this year. Extending Moton and signing someone like Joe Thuney would enable us to draft a LT in round 1 and start him right away. I also think it would help Paradis tremendously, if we can’t find a replacement for him.

Looks like quite a few LT prospects in the coming draft. Last year it felt like mostly RTs.

told the board that last year.  Too many brought into Little just needed more time and this would be his year.  I didn't know what I was talking about.  Might as well keep him now and see if you can make a good guard out of him.
