I agree but even if he played enough.. He still might not be a LT as good as Neal, Ike, or Cross.. He still was a 3rd rounder while thess guys are top 10 worthy..

They were not wrong on this one. He will make a really good OG if we have a good LT beside him.

Pisses me off that Rhule didn't play the kid and now they have no idea what they got. Two days from the draft and they don't know if he can do the job or not. One pick to decide if they can afford to take a premier LT prospect and not gamble on the QB. 

Total lack of coaching foresight and planning. Don't understand the logic behind not playing him. Explain it to me because I don't get it.

 

I agree but passing on any of those 3 LTs because of brady is dumb he's good depth LT or a decent LG

Brady has good feet and is agile. He just has trouble anchoring against more powerful rushers. Camden said in his PC that he thought Brady had the potential to play all 5 spots (hence my earlier response). I don't think that means he can play them all well though. If they draft a LT early Brady will most likely transition to G or C. Cam Erving will probably be our backup swing tackle (if he does not start).

He's not a guard. He gets manhandled with power in the interior space. He's a tackle and should be kept as a swing tackle.

So I guess Brady could be a backup Swing Tackle and Erving could be a Backup (or starting?) Guard.

Really depends on where we go at 6. If we go LT, I see BC moving inside and Irving being the swing for this year only. Next year, BC will be the swing and Irving will be gone. 

If we go another route, BC and Irving will battle it out for LT and the other one will be backup, and we draft a guard or let Brown start at RG and see how it shakes out.

It would not surprise me if they move the kid to C this year and let him get reps there and learn the position. He seem smart enough and agile enough to be a good player there. I worry he's too light in the A$$ to play Guard.

this is my thought as well. I think he can be an above average center

So basically a complete waste of a pick.  We spent a third round pick on a guy that will never start for us.  What happened to the guard from Bama? Let me guess; he is still a fat slob.

i dont think thats a fair take. after the first and top half of second you aren't really expecting to draft impact starters. If BC ends up being a cheap 5 year plug and play OL that can step in and be average for 2-3 games a year for injuries and then backup as needed, that's a great 3rd round pick.

We don't know what he is thanks to Rhule. He should have been starting a couple weeks in. He looked better than Irving in preseason and he should have been given the reps. He wasn't. Then they tried to have him play 4 positions, not an easy task for anyone, let alone a rookie. 

His natural position is tackle. He may be able to learn to play guard or center but it's a different skill set as far as how to deal with rushers. We didn't really develop anyone last year. Campen is good. Give him a little time to work with the guy.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
