There will be a LOT of competition for the good young ones.  They will get paid.

We're going to have to bite the bullet and spend some money.  It will probably mean letting one of our defensive stars go.

If we draft one starter like Linderbaum, and sign one good one, we'll be a lot closer.   We had a 2nd round grade on Brady as a guard, so if he pans out we'll have 3 new good ones alongside Taylor.

LT is, as always,  ....oof.

Time to pay up and stack the offensive line with talent via FA, trade and the draft. Whatever it takes. Cant afford one more offseason ignoring the biggest weakness on the team over the last decade

 

hurts not having our 2nd and 3rd but not complaining.  Darnold was more than worth it, and we have reason to hope that Rhule can rehabilitate our new corner by next year.

So it we go the trade route, it'll have to be 2023 picks....or one of our valued players.  The question is, who are we willing to part with who is capable of being a long term player for their new team?  If we go this route, it's gonna hurt.

I think center is the biggest need because Paradis is throwing everything off and everyone has to compensate for it. 

Yeah we should really give Tackenburg a chance.  Throw Christenson in there and maybe Brown.  The OL needs a reset badly.

I wonder why we haven’t seen the Rookies even for a few plays, I wonder if there is a problem learning the play calls or they don’t appear ready physically. With the play of this line I have to wonder how much worse it could be.

Does Paradis appear ready physically?

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
