Maybe we're trying to be like the Indians in the film, Major League. Or trying to tank to get a good QB in 2022.

This is what I'm wondering: since Hurney wanted to as he said "retool" last year rather than "rebuild," maybe they're committing to the rebuild now? Rather than last year being Year 1, it might have been Year 0?

Makes zero sense.  Only thing I can think of is Rhule is looking for a true nose tackle.  Obada definitely doesn't fit the bill and while Kerr was built for it, played more of 3-tech from what I remember.

Note to self: look for nose tackle in the draft.

Roy is more of a true NT. 3tech/5tech makes more sense imo.

Hve to go DT now. poo, maybe even double up. Should be fine since we are deep at all other positions... oh wait.

I like Tufele and Twyman a bunch. I’ll have to look back for a later round NT type. I’m sure there are some 6th round fat boys that can eat blocks.

I've been mocking ONE DT, but you have a point that we may need to double up now.

I like Twyman, but he's a pass rushing DT, I think only at 280 pounds?  McNeill would be steep in the 2nd, but if he's still there at #73, snag his butt.

In my mock draft, Ive had luck with getting Tedarrell Slaton late rounds. Look into him.

Backwards move unless we're planning on bringing him back cheaper. 

Actually, this move makes ZERO sense. We just created another hole in a place already shorted at talent. Kerr was one of the few bright spots last year. 

Only thing I can come up with is 1. We're trying to get younger on both lines. 2. Maybe Snow has them convinced he can make any serviceable DT work in his system. Kerr, Obada, and Roy did all overachieve (atleast my expectations anyway). 3. Kerr wanted more $$, we declined and he asked for his release.

Head scratcher regardless. Looking at the two Oline players we picked up today maybe Kerr's pff grade was too high for the Fitterer.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
