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.

      Yeah, Franklin was a good ST guy that could fill in at safety IN AN EMERGENCY. But he was still better than Scott, IMO.

      I get that, but given his college production, his actual skill set, and what he's shown in camp, he really just seems like the only way he doesn't at least play to his floor is if he can't stay healthy or he just gets a huge head and stops putting in the effort, the latter of which I don't see happening. So hopefully he stays healthy (knock on wood), but there's unfortunately no way of predicting health, you can really only predict a player not able to stay healthy if they already had problems doing so in college.

      Austin named starting center

      By Waldo · Posted

      In it self no it's not a bad thing. It becomes an issue when they brought back Austin to play on IR most of the season again. That's not a knock on Mays but the situation. It's BC at LG all over. But on the flip side that's how they were forced to go out and sign a good LG the next year.  All of the talk and hope of improvement comes down to guys like Mays taking that step. There is something developmentally going on that Im not impressed with going on with this team. Austin and Dalton were 2 guys they obviously can't lean on at this point and yet both are still here taking up space.
