How many times do we hear that? Also, C just doesn’t have the value that LT has. Top 3 PFF C (Humphrey, Linsley and Kelce) are 2nd (right after Marshall), 5th and 6th rounders. Bradbury was lauded in 2019 and went in the middle of the 1st. McCoy was picked one slot after  our original 2nd round pick we used to trade up for Little. McCoy has been a way, way, way better C.

We would have a much better OL picking LT at 6 and using our 2023 2nd rounder on a C than pick 6 on a C and 2023 2nd on a LT.

I don't remember the last time I heard a center being lauded as a generational talent?  Even the best are going in the 20s.. if you have thats projected as a top 5 pick yhats saying something. I'm not saying I disagree with you on traditional value. But this guy is special.

Guess we have to wait and see what they do in the off-season and what they plan on doing with Brady. 
 

I could easily see them trading down and getting a tackle in the 2-3 rounds.

No that's the opposite of what we need to do. When he spoke on serious investment this is what he ment. Not another basement trade down bargin hunt like Christensen or even Marshall for that matter. Take the studs.

In an ideal scenario, Brady and Deonte would become solid starters at the LT and RG spots. Moron would continue to hold the RT position. We could draft Tyler Linderbaum at number 6 and watch him become the top center in the league for the rest of the decade, and then snag a high quality LG that drops to the 4th round and start him in 2022.

PRESTO...a rebuilt offensive line with 4 new starters for the 2021-2022 season with very little damage to our salary cap.

That would be a good long term plan, but short term it leaves Sam at QB. Rhule is definitely on the hot seat, so I don’t see him going long term (which is why it was dumb we didn’t fire him).

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
