We have to go tackle in the second round, right?

Just because you need OL doesn’t mean you draft one no matter what.

 

See Mike Mayock.

I say you draft two or three IMO.

Rhule knows he needs to address the OL.

This draft isn’t done.

It will be a mistake to not end up with 2-3 OL in this draft.

I don't expect us to end up with 2-3 OL from this draft. I am honestly getting the feeling that this staff/FO may have a lower priority on OL than the previous coaching staff/GM.

I sincerely hope I am proven wrong over the next two days.

Rhule has yet to draft a offensive player period.

We better not take Walker Little.  At least not before the later rounds.  Hasn't played football in 2 years and has injury concerns.  You can't spend a 2nd on a player with those risks.  It'd have to be a late round flyer.

I really like teven and even if you think he projects as a RT that might be a good way to not have to pay Moton, slide teven into RT and that freed up money you can use in FA to address LT next year. We’ll see.

The FA OL signings also left a lot to be desired. I just get the feeling their mentality about OL is that you can throw together a unit from JAGS and make do. We are in year two of doing exactly that. 

But....still lots of draft left to prove me wrong.

Well if thats the case we will be picking top 10 again next year.

Oh I agree. If my suspicion is correct, we are going to see a lot of losing.

And his last name is Little. I'm not drafting another Little in the 2nd round.

I agree 100% but holy hell I am just not understanding why we are not addressing the offensive line.  This is insanity.   Assuming we pick a safety

so far that's just how the drafts last year and this year have fallen. it's not like there's a giant conspiracy against the OL. If sewell had been there, we'd have taken him.

there are a few solid OL prospects on the board right now. it is likely that one of them will be BPA, or at least close enough that we will take one at 39, but who knows. if moehrig falls all the way to our spot, or if everyone in front of us goes OL, then we will be in a spot again where OL isn't our best pick.

Or move Moton to the left.

At this point draft a guy that worse case can play RT, best case LT.

between him and Moton you hope one of them can.

Well we haven't exactly made good FA OL moves either. I think that makes me suspicious much more than the drafting.
