Just spend an entire draft on the offensive line, we'd have to hit on 1 or 2 starters somehow

We had two straight years to do that. I think we will find out that they finally value it as a position this offseason.

He could be good for 6-7 games.

Greg Little has already descended to the Pantheon of other great Hurney 2nd Rounders with Jarrett and Armanti Edwards.

 

Already? Folks around here have had him tarred and feathered for years now. They are just waiting on the tar to arrive from China.

And at this point, bring Okung back.  But, I'm guessing they didn't bring him back bc I get the impression they felt he was aloof or not "all in" here...  but, he was solid on the field.

Only if he's a backup.

Part time starters we've already got.

Also people forget about the run game.  Moton is really good at that aspect and that also might factor into keeping him on the right.  A lot of run plays are designed to go strong side which is usually the right.

 

 

This is a good point. Even if we suck hard at pass protection, these same scrubs may be very solid at run blocking.

You calm down with that negative thought process!

Ha. He said imagine Greg Little was good. I imagined something better and honestly more realistic with some easy decisions that many huddlers even hoped to happen.

I’m hoping we go OL in the 1st next year as it kind of means Darnold is good enough and know that’s what we need.

I hope we continue to pick the BPA with our picks.

Unfortunately, Darnold will likely be graded the same he was in NY, without much protection. 

But, the NFL is a big boy league, if he doesn't step up, not much we can do with him. QB's that need absolutely perfect conditions aren't likely to lead us to a title anyway. 

IF Moore, Marshall, Anderson, McCaffrey and Arnold stay healthy, Darnold will be fine. 

No matter what the defence brings, somebody will be single covered. They brought Darnold in because he's more physically talented than Bridgewater and because he's shown the willingness to let the ball fly. 

Bridgewater, as good as he was at moving the chains, left so many points on the field because he wouldn't (or perhaps couldn't) push the ball down the field on those shot plays. 

I'm confident we'll see a much better version of Darnold here surrounded by those skill players. The OL will be a limiting factor, but unless they're getting pressure instantly every snap we'll be ok.

We are getting pretty close to that right now. One more good draft, with the right FAs thrown in. This could be a really good team. 

 

Drafting well is not a secret. But it seems to be dang hard to do.

[Smithers]

It’s a scrimmage.  Wasn’t it the dolphins players several years ago who claimed that their coaches had to tell them to lighten up against us during a scrimmage so we could have the opportunity to actually run plays? And then we proceeded to kick the crap out of them during the regular season match up.

FWIW, I wasn't as harsh on him as many have been.  I lost some hope last season, but I didn't fully give up on him until this offseason/TC.

Ehh, he is a better part-time starter than the ones we got.

Believe it or not. I saw a gif of him earlier this month. And he was making a great block. I know...I was shocked as well. But here's the thing. He was at Left Guard. Not sure why? I had to watch it a few times to make sure. But there it was. 

 

So the score is Little 1, the last 3 years 204. lol cuz it's just a little sad.
