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

You shouldn't draft for need but we just took a corner at 8 after last years draft was focused entirely on the defense. We are now hinging our season on a reclamation project behind center. Uh you kind of need to do your best to protect that investment and Greg Little and a bunch of jags isn't it.

I wouldn't bet on Greg Little even making the final roster.

Great question.  No.  We could go WR, S, or OL. 

Remember, Rhule was at the SR Bowl, and going from memory (which is a red flagged warning) there were several OL he liked. He has vets right now to fill the voids, but I have no idea what we will do.  Do you leave Trevon Moehrig on the table to take Sam Cosmi?  I do not.  Rhule has been in love with Richie Grant (S, UCF) for some time.  I'd rather have a T, but there is that.

Yea I’d bet that our board probably has Moehrig and Grant before any lineman right now. Obviously if both those guys are gone, and I can at least see Jax taking one, then we have some nice options remaining at OL.

Whatever everyone else thinks, the FO seems to like Erving and Elflein. The contracts make that obvious. I don't think that they're in an o-line or bust thought process right now. And the secondary last year was just about as bad as the offensive line, we just masked it by dropping eight guys all the time. I see a trade back to the middle of the second round where they can grab whoever's left in this tier and accumulate some picks. When you need help basically everywhere, that's the smart move.

I tend to agree with this. I believe that their philosophy is that they can get a tough group of guys and coach them up to beat teams with grit and scheme. Rhule is a defensive minded coach and it should not surprise anyone when he leans towards the defensive side of the ball.

He coached Oline in New York for the Giants.

He knows what it's about - but again it's a BPA drafting policy.

Agree.  I actually like Eiflein a lot I think he plays LG this year and slides over to C next year.  If Moerig is there you have to take him.  Otherwise slide back and grab Grant.  Go T in third,  At this point, i don't think there is a rookie LT that is ready to start day 1 anyway, but there are some guys that will be ready by mid-season.

The defense is starting to look nasty.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
