Fitterer has "called around" about offensive linemen

That’s a hell of a statement to make to your locker room.

Heck, at this point I'm wondering if Fitterer can trade us.

I mean, I don't really want to go anywhere but at this rate I'm afraid I might wake up tomorrow and find out I've been traded to the Cowboys fanbase in exchange for a Chick-fil-A catering tray 😕

We drafted a 3rd rounder. I’m glad we didn’t get Leatherwood earlier. He looks awful in Oakland.

What can we get for Gooby or that crazy PJ Walker poster?

Well obviously we know they care and they want Darnold to stay healthy but fans also know we have struggled in this area for a decade having seen mistakes firsthand. So at this moment when they are saying "oh poo" of course we are going to say what else did you expect? The we couldn't fix it all at once right now response is valid but then also you have to consider the sheer resources we have put into our defense even as recently as this week while plugging in a couple of depth linemen in free agency who have bounced from team to team lately. We put ourselves in this position like it or not.


That’s the point. It’s much much easier to find DBs than it is to find quality OL.

Teams aren’t even willing to part ways with backups.

Its a scarce position. We have to fill it in the draft. FA is super expensive.

Not a terrible deal. Does it come with sauce?

Yeah we traded our 2nd round pick.  We could have kept that 2nd and got Tevin Jenkins.  We traded that pick with the Bears who took Jenkins. 

Instead we chose Marshal in the 2nd, and with the extra picks, Chuba,  Tremble and Nixon.

People were pissed we passed on Jenkins. Tevin Jenkins hasn't played a snap due to back injury and the Bears have 16 sacks on the season, 2nd worst in the league.

I remember the Tevin love.

Fitts needs extra scouts just for OL. Such an easy position to bust on.

    • I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we? 
    • Yep,and Blake Miller have had more experiences than Freeling,Lions did not sigh a vet T like Walker,so they had to pick Miller.
    • I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
