Detroit would move Slater to RT. 

Maybe Cincy takes Slater and Detroit values someone else more than drafted Sewell and moving him to RT...

I fear the Bengals more than I do the Lions, but both are possibilities.

To me, they should be focusing on Sewell or Slater now with pick 8.  If, somehow, Fields drops to 8 they really have to think long and hard about it.  I doubt he is, but....

Our QB depth chart has been one layer deep for 2 or 3 seasons now.  As of this second, we have Darnold and TB.  Even if that sticks, TB is gone after this next season, if not sooner.  Either way, it would give us the luxury of checking out Darnold for a while and if he is fool's gold, Fields comes in later in the season, after some time to acclimate.

If Fields wins the job but Darnold did not stink up the joint, Darnold can be traded for something downstream, or simply left to find other opportunities when his rookie deal expires.  Or maybe he sticks around as the backup.

The move certainly gives us some options. 

But barring that, I am drafting the beef at #8.  After that, I am looking at more beef on the interior OL, DT, CBs, maybe a TE, and WR depth, in the order that the available talent presents itself.

Sounds like there is little chance Teddy lasts past June 1st.

You have to think the Bengals are a 100% lock to take a tackle. 

Had the media not fallen in love with Sewell so long ago, Slater would be getting a lot more attention right now. If Slater is there at 8, I’m sprinting the card to the podium

The wild card with the Bengals is that Joe Burrow is reportedly pushing hard for Chase, who in all likelihood will be available with their pick.

My response to that is "Dude, you got snapped in half last year and you want a receiver? Yikes!"

But I'm not him, so...

It’s Slater or Sewell. If both are gone you trade back. Hopefully Denver stays at 9 and Washington or New England want to move up.

My trade back target is Darrisaw.

Jaycee Horn is awfully tempting but you have to give Darnold a LT. You traded for him in hopes of turning around his career. He needs a LT to have a shot at that

I'm a Darrisaw stan, and I'm not 100% ready to hand him LT day one here. He might be the guy, but feel a lot better putting Moton at LT to start camp and see if Darrisaw unseats him. VT didn't run a pro offense and I have issues gauging his readiness as a pass blocker and hold up on the blind side. Now as a run blocker, he's ready, just a little more urgency to flowing thru to the 2nd and 3rd level from what I've seen would do him good. Though that could also be scheme/coaching that has him ensure his lane is cleared before he goes to the next level.

 

Another option would be chase Orlando Brown. That make for a nice pair with Moton.  Now 8 straight up for Brown is a non starter but we have the highest overall to give in a pick package if the ravens send picks with brown. They can go get the cheaper RT replacement of slater for Brown if they wish.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
