there's this part of me that isn't really loving the CBs, mainly because the WRs have been so great. Is it partly because the CBs in college haven't been that good? 

i find myself just avoiding CBs unless it's late in the draft. 

OL looks good in this class, but i really don't want to miss out on offensive play makers. we need them badly. if anything i want to overload in that direction.

I get that about the CBs--I just think we had a need and I like the quality that should be there in the middle.  I think there are a large number of CBs who will make a roster--not seeing to many Revis Islands.  I would be fine re-signing S Griffin and maybe a nickel late.

Thank God. I've been saying we need to sign the best OG we can and move Brady Christensen to the bench. He'd be great depth as a solid player who can play guard or tackle on either side of the OL.

LT: Ickey, Christensen
LG: FA, Christensen
OC: Bozeman (Jackson Powers-Johnson would be GREAT here...)
RG: Corbett, Christensen
RT: Moton, Christensen

BC could backup every position--I was thinking we gave him some snaps at C as a rookie, but I might be wrong.  He is athletic, smart, and most NFL teams covet the swing tackles.  I think we are going to sign a G free agent and draft a T--maybe with #65

North Andover's Zak Zinter A 2nd-Team Academic All-America At Michigan

draft zak zinter 33 overall...profit

He was probably an early second rounder before the injury--however, I am thinking he could go late second early third.  I would love him--but these hogs with lower body injuries lose luster until they have proven they can return to form

i wouldn't mind avoiding all IOL this draft. 

Me as well.  I tend to mock one late anyway, but honestly, we have depth now that needs further developing.  See what we have with Zavala, Mayes Jensen and DiRenzo before kicking the tires on another long term project.  I mean, in theory, BC still has to get beat out for his job.  He got replaced due to injury.  I think we draft for skill positions and go FA in the trenches.  If we sign a solid LG in FA, we have the depth for the IOL, they simply need to be heavily coached up.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
