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

I say you draft two or three IMO.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Or move Moton to the left.

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

    • I noticed that we did not seem to be too worried about CB, although I really like the CBs we added (draft and undrafted signings).  However, we can't go into the season with an injury prone CB, a 33-year old nickel, and a free agent, former seventh rounder.  Even if Gilmore is used sparingly until we have an injury to Horn or Jackson, we need another veteran. I think both Willie Drew and Smith-Wade have a good chance of making the roster, and I don't think rolling with six CBs is ridiculous in this day and age. Morgan was focused on Offense and, as you recall, pounded the table for Dane Jackson in Buffalo in round seven.  He seems to have found a pair of gems yesterday, but they take time.  They fit a "type" (good tackling, versatile). I also think Gilmore might be good for Clowney as well.  To your point--if we sign Gilmore, I feel very positive about the CB room.  If Horn stays healthy, it would be a strength and not a liability.
    • Kinda have to be a jack of all trades when your starting spot just got handed to someone else.  You try your best at what is asked of of you by your employer in a different role or be looking for work elsewhere.
    • Well wait. They are building a team as we speak to cater to a under equipped player’s deficiencies. Put a little differently they are overbuilding it to compensate for the design flaws of a weak component.  No one would design an NFL QB with Bryce Young as their template.  No. One.  It is always around this point that I get really pissed off or frustrated and lose the thought or point I am going for, because I look at it and realize that what I just wrote, is 100000% true.   So I lost the point again. Sorry 45. I get so pissed off at the decision makers that put this on us. It isn’t about whether Young is a good kid. Doesn’t matter. Besides that he has no underdog cred, at all, and that is the only reason I’d have to ignore my good sense.
