Could we really pick something other than QB or o-line at 6?

Shameless plug time. I wrote an article about it here.

More seriously though, I do expect Hamilton and Thibodeaux to be very much in play should the scenario play out that we address QB in FA/Trade and the top 3 tackles go off the board by 6 (a very real possibility). I know trade down is a popular theory, and that could become a realistic scenario should Kayvon be there, but would you want to trade down instead of taking him? Would you be okay with Hamilton at the other hybrid safety role? I personally think 6 is too high for a center, but would you be okay with Linderbaum?

Thanks for the post Verge…love your insights.  Both Hamilton and Thibs would be great picks normally.  Especially Hamilton.  Coming off injury?  Risky.  Personally think he is the best player available.  Will be especially hard to build the OL without spending very early on a top OT or Linderbaum but absolutely could happen.

There is an idea that you want to be strong up the middle of the field.  QB, C, DT, ILB and safety but we need all those positions.  In 2015 we were the best in the league arguably in these positions.

I'm so accustomed to watching this organization do mind numbingly stupid things that it's going to be really difficult to shock me with anything.

Let's see... re-sign Reddick then draft another pass rusher at #6 overall, trade next year's 1st for Jimmy G then massively overpay for some poo tier FA OL again... yeah, that sounds about right.

Honestly I can see it play out just like this.

I mean we have the former Seahawks guy as our GM, maybe he wants to build a nice backfield like the Super Bowl winning Seahawks? Add a good safety to put with Horn and the other guys, Chinn improves or goes back to LB and we could end up with a good defense.

Fitterer didn’t have much to do with that team.  He’s been more involved in the slow collapse since.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
