Hey the OL sucked donkey balls today

Huddle graded the draft an A/A-.

Since we only drafted one 3rd round OL, the draft could be an A+ and the OL still be donkey balls. We have one OL who would start on the majority of NFL rosters. That ain't the makings of a serviceable OL.

I don’t really know what they expected given their choices at OL

Pretty much. It is what it is. Not much we can do about it now.

I definitely don't want to see them make a panic trade and give up too much. If there is a path to improve cheaply or a path to improve long term for a reasonable price, I am all in.

Definitely agree with this.

Imagine if Marty took Erik McCoy at C and another G (Evans, Dieter, ?) instead of Little and imagine if we took Wirfs instead of Brown and decided Moton was going to man LT and had for a year. Now imagine we took Trey Smith instead of a long snapper. We’d have a top 5 and young/cheap OL right now and it would have cost us Brown and nothing else.

I like Brown, but I’d trade him in a heartbeat to have a stud C, two stud Ts and potentially solid Gs. 

I can understand not drafting Slater at 8, some had their doubts about him playing tackle, but 2020 might be the year we regret.  There were 3 tackle prospects available with our first pick that graded out well.

I'd much rather just put Moton on the left than try and trade.

I feel like this should've happened years ago. If the reports were accurate today that Christensen looked better than the vets, just rio the bandaid off already. Moton at LT, Christensen at RT and let's go. I don't have much hope at OG.

Agreed. If Christensen really looked better, stop the Ron Rivera poo and get him some reps. We already know Elflein and Erving are trash. Years of proving that on file

Rivera was dead set against it. No idea why, but then that's true of a lot of things Rivera did.

My concern for this year: The whole "versatility" thing is cool and all, but as I've said before what I really want to see is a set lineup that can work together and gel into a cohesive unit.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
