I think vincent and hangartner are both FAs this year, jermey bridges might be too

I like hangartner because he is versitile and there is not much of a dropoff between him and vincent

vincent is just a big road grader and does his job well but i doubt he could play center

bridges is also versitile, but at the same time he's not exactly the most well behaved, but he does play well in the reserve role.

honestly if a very talented rookie fell to us high in the draft i wouldn't be unhappy if we chose him, but I don't think it's really a need

Pretty sure Vincent will be back, but also think they'll bring in more competition.

You're right, Vincent will have 1 year left on his contract. It would be great if we could get someone in the later rounds of the draft that could be a fixture at the RG spot, though. It's been a bit of a revolving door before this season and we need to develop a young starter at that spot when Vincent is done.

Love Vincent and the way he played this year. Don't want a repeat of Hartwig with his groin injury. I've said over and over again on this board, "It took him (Vincent) almost 2 years to recover from his last groin injury." Keep him, but he may not be able to go. These are human beings, not Madden-bots, and his situation is as yet unresolved.

Hangman is a great backup, offer him that kind of money and if he leaves, he leaves. It's been really nice having a couple of competent, versatile guys ready on the OL bench for a change, but Bernadeau took snaps last preseason at center and could develop into a good backup/spot starter at center/guard. We kept this guy on the 53 man roster so other teams wouldn't pick him up from our practice squard for a reason, so they think they have something with him.

Personally? Draft Herman Johnson (LSU, OG) if he falls to us. He's bigger than Otah (6-7/350# range) with quick feet and good technique and the same kind of nasty. It's been nice having some real monster road graders. I would like to see it continue. This might be a moot point, as he's slated middle 2nd round right now, but I think he may move up out of our reach as draft day approaches. There are another couple of monster guards out there though, this is a pretty deep draft in that area. We have 4-5 position needs going into the draft/FA, and can only expect fill 2 at the most from the draft, probably only one. Since most of our needs are going to be filled by FA anyway, I wouldn't mind doing it this way.

Lets hope we get lucky and he falls. I'd love to get our line bigger, by the sound of it with a guy like that we can afford to lose hangman and have this dude as a 1st year road grading back up.

I think they should offer Hangartner slightly more than backup money. He is good enough to be a low to mid-range starter at either C or OG, which is more than you can say for the average backup.

Anyway, on to the OPs question...If Vincent can get back to 100% then he'll be the starter. However, I'm skeptical because groin injuries are a bitch. I wouldn't want Hangman as the full-time starter, so they should probably bring in new blood to prepare for the worst (and the future).

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
