This is why we always need to grab an OL in the late round as well. They seem to have higher success rates than other positions in the later rounds. It looks like we might actually have some OL depth now. 

Agreed. This is something we need to keep doing every year.

Efflien and Irving are expensive backups but I think they should be solid in backup roles.  Even Dayley might be a rotational player.  Problem is we have soured on these guys because they were put in a position to start when they have no business starting in this league.

I think Mays makes the roster, though he might not be a part of the starting group (my prediction there is Ekwonu, Christensen, Bozeman, Corbett, and Moton).

Now pick 3 to 4 players from below and we've got our OL group:

• Deonte Brown
• Dennis Daley
• Michael Jordan
• Pat Elflein
• Cameron Erving
• Mike Horton
• Sam Tecklenburg
• Austen Pleasants

tbh I'd be okay with just taking Brown and two traffic cones at this point

I think that's Bozeman's role if we can keep him.

Bozeman’s just on a 1 year contact and if he has a good season he probably walks like Reddick

Makes me more infuriated how we took a fuging long snapper over just keeping it simple and drafting an o-lineman like Trey Smith. I can never forgive Rhule for that. It wasn't that hard. It was an obvious choice that could've helped the team. Last year and this year shows that we give Rhule control over late rounds and some UDFAs.

Christenson is the odds on favorite but who knows. I'd think Mays has as much chance of playing LG as Brown.

Brown could be great for our running game. Imagine the left side with Icky and Brown. That’s a lot of pounds plowing the defense out of the way!

Have to admit, 0-line looking pretty good

Yeah man, but they drafted Fletch.

Rhule should be gone. It's mistakes like this that hurt the team. Trey Smith could be the other starting guard for us. Instead we have to make him happy and let him choose his annual Baylor/Temple guys in the 6th-7th rounds and UDFAs.

The one area that we always need to be adding to is OL. DT is probably 2nd with DE third. The DL and OL should always have depth added. Every year. If you aren't sure what direction to go or if you're choosing from players of different positions and it's a toss up, look at the trenches first.

From all reports Ikem is a leader and likely will be here. 

Just listening to him speak is reassuring.  He has a calm confidence about him that just impresses me.    He doesn't sound like a 21/22 year old fresh out of college.  He strikes me as being cerebral like Gross and at the same time nasty like Norwell.

BC, Mays, Brown, Corbett…

really nice having multiple viable options at G.

Grooming his as a center/guard is in our best interest this season given the current is on a 1 year deal and you always need depth.

Can we tap the brakes before we put this guy in the hall of Fame?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

J/k. I always hate those "tap the brakes" comments exaggerating the optimistic feelings towards some players.
