Offensive Line

Creed already the best center in the league. Should have drafted him in the second, we traded down and still passed him up. Chiefs also took trey smith in the 6th when he was sitting right there for us. They had the draft we should have had. Pisses me off.

 

 

Yeah, I mean you could fill an entire thread with the list of OL that we didn't take for the past 4-5 seasons or more. It's precisely why we are in the current predicament.

Actually, given health (Clemson’s best DT and future top 15 pick is hurt), I think there are guys on Clemson and Alabama’s DL that are day 1/day 2 picks this year and next. If you could play Madden with the players, I think the current starters on both teams could win a lot against our IOL. Heck could be a couple of them who are really good NFL players.

I don't doubt that but pitting either of their DL units against us is likely to result in some record offensive performances for our team. Remember, all these scrubs we are toting have a lot of college all-conference, all-american accolades too with a lot more NFL experience under their belt. 

It's always a fun/funny thing to say that *insert elite college team* could beat *insert terrible NFL team* but it is extremely unlikely that would ever happen, no matter how good the college team is or how bad the NFL team is.

I criticized the draft when it happened. But the crazy thing, is going back im not even asking to change all the picks. Marshall and the long snapper was just questionable to me. Switch those with O linemen i think we are a better team. Its that close.

The Cheifs have a pretty solid backup center, we should trade for him if he won't see snaps in KC. Was projected to start before Creed shocked everyone in camp. Anything is an upgrade over Paradis at this point.

Why would the Chiefs trade with us?

Do we have someone to trade in exchange that they'd want?

I mean....we really can't blame the OL on Hurney anymore. That is a Rhule/Fitt thing now. We knew we had a bad line last season and "improved" it by handing out bad contracts to Erving and Elflein, then drafting two OL that have played a combined 75 offensive snaps on one of the worst units in the NFL.

Hurney left us with some poo, that is for sure but look how quickly that defense got built from nothing. The OL falls squarely on Rhule. They thought they could make chicken salad out of chicken poo and we are currently eating mayo infused poo sandwiches as a result.

Yeah we can. He set us back years. Tylar Larsen is a starting C. The White Buffalo is still doing alright. The only players that actually sucked we kept. You can't blame years of dysfunction on Fitters who is year one and Rhule who is year two. We have drafted extremely well in two years.

    • Now that is a grown man answer! Would love to hear that from the face of our franchise.
    • The Lombardi video I posted in another thread a few minutes ago--Lombardi says, "You want to know what a team is going to do, look at the depth chart."  He also mentioned how only 27% of first round WRs succeed and how most of the good WRs in the NFL were day 2 and 3 players in the draft?  We have 2 30-year old ILBs (Jewell and Thompson).  Not much behind them at all.  LB is a huge need.  At CB, we have oft-injured Horn, Dane Jackson, and  33-year old Troy Hill at nickel.  Not much behind them.  At WR, we have Johnson (a decent X), Thielen (a solid slot in his last year), and Mingo, a second year player at Z.  Behind them, we have Smith Marsette and MAYBE TMJ.  We could use a player to challenge Mingo and/or to groom for the slot position.  I contend that this is not as big of a need early as LB or CB.  We could argue that C is in the cards.
    • well, we know generally.....we are going to end up missing on most of the guys we draft in reality.  Draft history says that.  Ours certainly does.  That's why I like the WR double dip in a great WR draft class.  Increases your odds of hitting on something that eventually works out.  and we don't have a first day pick.  as he said, day 2 and day 3 is often WR gold.  I still think top of round 2 is just a sweet spot for WR.  I think those hit rates are skewed.  C has a good first round hit rate.....because you rarely see any C ever drafted in the first round because of  how the league values it.   So it's almost can't miss super studs twisting folks arms to have to take them.
