Can't decide if he is going to be a tackle or a guard. Does not inspire confidence for the time being. I would be less concerned about the lack of consensus or cohesion on the line if we had a veteran quarterback behind there. For all the complaints about Bridgewater as a passer he did at times make last years o line look better than they actually were with some nice scrambles.

Yep. I was 100% against signing Teddy and a huge critic of him but he absolutely made our 2020 OL look better than they actually were.

It is so interesting how "up in the air" we are about OL.  I personally think that Daley has a good shot at the LT job.  When healthy, he has been admirable, but Scott, Erving, and Daley are close.  Any article that mentions Little is a sign to stop reading--and I hope they know something I do not---I see Christensen settling in at LG eventually.  I see any number of possibilities at RG.  I even think C is not totally Paradis.  I also think that Miller was not bad at RG last year, but that position could go to Brown (who-on paper-is not a great fit) or Moore.  Moore could win the C job, eventually. 

Day 1 starting lineup:  Daley, Elflein, Paradis, Miller, Moton.

Mid season starting lineup:  Daley, Christensen, Paradis, Miller, Moton.

They likely have no idea about anyone besides Moton and Paradis until pads come on. Don't have a ton of confidence in BC getting bull rushed by BYU competition, and taking a 2 year mission means he's already 24 and probably is what he is already, good or bad at the NFL level

As a sophomore BC played against USC, Washington,  Utah and Tennessee, and allowed a total of four pressures.  He has battled 1st rounder Payton Turner from Houston.  He  was a 2020 consensus All-American, with the best 2020 pass blocking grade among OT in this draft class and  allowed two pressures on 293 pass blocking regular season snaps.

BC may bust, but it is a myth to say he didn't face any 1st rounders or any p5 teams, or that it even matters because Moton was a very similar draft prospect and performed just fine. 

Moton was 64th  G from Western Mich U with a RAS of 8.46 23yr old @season start

BC      was  70th   T from         BYU             with a RAS of 9.84 24yr old @season start

Sir, you appear to be bringing actual verifiable facts to support your position. That's just now how we do things here.

I would say that BC is unlikely to be an "Instant Impact" guy at the moment. Seems like more of a high ceiling project. 

Perhaps he crushes it during training camp and then makes the starting five somewhere. That is the ideal result.

I somewhat agree. Think he plays inside this season but think he can be pretty decent there. But I would be surprised to see him at Tackle this year. But I would love for him to step in and crush it. Here’s to hoping.

Can Erving has the 13th highest cap hit on the team.  He wasn’t brought in to be a back up.

Somebody might out play him and earn the starting spot but I think he was signed with the intention of being a starter.

Yes, but start where?  He has played every position on the line.  That is one cheap vet FA LT contract.   He has to stay healthy and win it, which is a big if.  He's already hurt.   

We kept 9 OL to make 53 last year.   Just deciding which 9 to keep isn't easy.  Here's my guess:

Make the Team
72 Taylor Moton T
75 Cameron Erving T
60 Pat Elflein G
61 Matt Paradis C
70 Brady Christensen T
78 Trent Scott T
67 John Miller G
77 Deonte Brown G
68 David Moore G

Practice squad or Cut
65 Dennis Daley G
74 Greg Little T
71 Sam Tecklenburg G
66 Mike Horton G
62 Aaron Monteiro T
63 Matt Kaskey T
73 Martez Ivey T

If we put Moore on the PS, someone will snatch him.
