Is the Dream of one of the top 2 tackles dead?

who is trading up?  And why are they trading up?

If Gardener falls to us I can see the Jets coming up to get in front of the Giants second pick. Plus I can see the Giants taking a Tackle at 5 in front of us the dogs

What a terrible take. You probably complained endlessly about how bad the line was last year. Through free agency and the draft, we have a chance to finally make it decent, even above average. 
 

But no, geniuses like you would rather waste a top 10 pick on quarterbacks who normally wouldn’t be drafted before round 2. Brilliant. 

no, I didn’t, in fact I was more concerned with the poor play coming from the most important position in sports 

i don’t care about having a “decent” OL, I don’t even care about having a DOMINANT MEAN CREW OF HOG MOLLIES.

i care about maximizing value relative to need relative to cost.

One of Icky or Neal will be there, I have a sneaky suspicion. Question is if it’s because of Malik going high or others; I suspect it could be others. If no QB has gone and one of the tackles are there, we’re gonna wait for any/all calls to move down.

I firmly believe Corral, Howell & Ridder are the targets at QB. Penning, Zion and Tyler Smith on the OL. 

Also, a trade target in the mid rounds if we gain any picks is Thayer Munford Jr OL and also Channing Tindall LB

Also—I do believe a few teams have Penning higher than both Cross AND Icky. We may be one of them shhhh.

The franchise that hasn't had a franchise left tackle since Jordan gross and has been a revolving door at the position since. The only qb with the hope of being a franchise qb is Willis and they seem to be in love with Pickett.

who cares if it’s been a “revolving door”

continuity offers no value at the OT position from season to season. The team would be just as well off buying a high level rental each year.

It’s almost befuddling how people have this weird obsession with a “franchise” left tackle and then work backwards to come up with reasons why it’s appealing despite substantial holes at the most important position on the field

@GrowlDo u really believe in Willis or Pickett? Or do u just know we need a Qb? Not saying you are one of these people but I’ve noticed some people think drafting a Qb in this draft is the correct thing to do simply cuz we have that need vs. wanting to draft a QB bc they truly are an elite prospect.

I believe I read, and I’m slightly paraphrasing - his time was more “an indictment on his future as a track star than a hall of fame safety.” 
something like that. I think it’s fairly well known safety speed is comprised of reaction and change of direction speeds. 

 Yeah but who are the good ones running 4.7? Darwin James was what 4.4.. the greatest of all time Ed Reed was 4.3-4.4... u think you have to have functional speed when covering was who are now faster than ever... he doesn't seem very twitchy which I mean change of direction.. I had more faith in Simmons than I do Hamilton...

I just know nobody is trying to draft a safety who is already at a undervalued position and ran a slow time.

People who just paid off Matt Kahlil and still have 0 to show for that massive contract and the loss in the super bowl are the reason people care about finding stability at LT. I don't know one successful franchise that has been this bad at the second most important position on offense and had long term success.. I get it lineman are boring but you need them. 

Did you even play the sport?

I really don’t see us sitting at 6. We have very little in the way of draft capital and have multiple holes to fill. Expect a trade-down from the trade down king.

Multiple needs in a class that is deep in rounds 2-3 with no picks in rounds 2-3 and a GM who loves trading down. Yeah I think you are right my friend…. Of course that’s assuming we have anyone wanting to trade with us.
