Hey the OL sucked donkey balls today

Some people wear delusion as a badge of honor.

Huddle graded the draft an A/A-.

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

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.

Chad isn’t always right (or in the ballpark) but here are some interesting names.

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.

Yeah, I read the Colts Message Boars and some good info/videos in there... Just Google Colts Forums!  Zod....that sums it up...lol

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 

[Ocpanthertew714]

How important is the O-line anyway?

I mean just ask Kansas City.  They could probably provide valid insight.

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.
