And a beast.  Can he play LT?

Although he's mainly played RT, he CAN play LT. I've seen him projected at the end of round 1 or round 2, if he makes it to #39, I'd be happy to take him, even if we do get Sewell or Slater at 8. Ultimately, I think Moton is playing hardball and will get a big payday from someone else next year.

exactly---draft some bookends.  I would not mind trading up to get him at the end of the first round....You know he would be an upgrade to moton and you would get him on a five-year deal---saving you about $20m per year on average over the next 4 years--I think we can trade Moton too, and prolly get a high pick for him in 2022. 

Slater and Jenkins?  Shhhoooooooot yeah.

guys like him IMO are the textbook double edged sword.     

great mauling play and....overly aggressive boneheaded penalty because he can't control his emotions. 

Good point.  You don't see that stuff on these tapes.   But his technique is solid and that tends to reduce penalties--unless he loses it between his ears.

Dude can play.  He also is one of those dudes IMO who is wired weird.   If he isn't on your team you would deem him dirty IMO and try to get him to do stupid stuff. 

Cuts both ways.  I think you occasionally need a little of that on a roster though.  We have lacked that to some degree since 89 left.   But it is a fine line to walk in terms of helping/hurting.

I agree if we drafted slater in the 1st and this guy fell to our pick in the second I’d run to the podium. Having two tackles locked up for the next 4/5 years and letting moton walk would be HUGE for our cap. We could allocate more money to really good FA’s for the next several years and obviously good for whoever is our qb

Yes, I would love to double dip with Slater and Jenkins but I don’t think he’ll get past Green Bay at the 29th pick.  It would take a trade up with the Ravens at 27 (Saints have 28th, no way to doing deals with them). 

But you never know, I also said no way Yetur Gross-Matos reaches the 2nd round and it happened.

100% YGM would be a 1st this year. (I believe 16-25) Looking back, it was indeed a great haul. Roy played way above a 6th. picks 1-3 looking like all-pros cores types. Pride got some starts/snaps, highs and lows didnt become burn toast. STO """". Krobinson got cut humbled and mid season was added back and stuck. 

I mean watch out for Krobinson as a starter, it would not shock me. I like Sam Franklin, but Krob has real FS range and ballhawk skills. In dime this draft could have 6 starters form this one draft on defensive.

Love Jenkins, hes OL N-A-S-T-Y. But most know him, so hes not underrated.

 

My pick for under-rated,(well until I make this claim...) is Spencer Brown! Who?? Who is right, he played at northern Iowa and should be a 2nd rounder..

Mine too for RT.   Maybe he could develop into a LT?  I only want him if two things occur in rounds one and two.  First, we opt not to take a QB and take a LT.  Secondly we don't double dip on O-line before round 3.  While going OL with the first three picks would be great, we need a CB before day 3.

If no QB in round 1:

1)Sewell/Slater

2) Stokes/Samuel

3) Mienerz/Brown  (I know, IOL vs. RT, but Quinn should be gone)

Ideally I want my entire Oline to be wired that way. 

Weirdly you usually don't find LTs that play like that - they're usually more finesse players - but LG - RT I want guys there that want to bury defenders.

Can't call him an upgrade before he's ever played a snap, plus Moton has been solid AF. But, he would save about crap ton of cash over the next few years.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By Jackson113.2 · Posted

      MORGAN ON PLAY CALLER FOR CANALES   "I think that's really his [Canales'] call," he stated. "I think if he wants to promote somebody into being the play-caller or bring somebody from the outside. We haven't really talked about that. But that is something that I'm sure we'll talk about. We talk about every decision together. If he feels like he needs to add somebody or promote somebody into being the play-caller, then I trust him."

      Dude, he cannot see the field, when his feet are not set he throws ducks.   What the fug are you watching?

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent after losing Horn. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
