Who you got? Please elaborate.

I really cannot say that I have any inside knowledge of who they are targeting. I'm just speculating like everyone else. I will wait until they finish all the official visits before I zero on who our targets might be. As it stands now they have not talked to anyone that will realistically be available at 19.

Got a few myself, but I have been disappointed plenty of times. I'm wondering how the current coaching is going to pan out this time around. They made me want to throw stuff at my tv.

I think they are planning for different scenarios that may play out and have researched options in each case. At least that's what it appears to be early in this offseason.

The Center from Duke, Parker II is a top 5 Center prospect, he’s really good and no one is really talking about him 

Not sure about his zone blocking scheme fit, but Slaughter, Lew, Hecht, Logan Jones, and possibly others are good agile zone-scheme fit olinemen that have the potential to start day 1 for us

At #19? No. There are no first round center prospects in this draft. There rarely are and we definitely don't need a developmental OG in the 1st who will almost certainly be a backup barring injury for at least a year or two.

As far as I know they didn't meet with any first round offensive line players at the combine. They had a meeting with the Duke center but so far that's it.

WTF? We are just going to ignore LT or does OP think we have room to snag one in free agency? I think we end up ranking Proctor, Lomu, and Freeling and take the highest one available at 19. I think Fano is purely a RT because of his arm length. I would take Freeling right now at 19 as i have mentioned before.

Sure but I would prioritize OT.

you aren't getting a starting lt at 19. we aren't trading up. yall were so sure christensen was a starting lt for years. i said no way in hell and here we are.

SUBSTANTIALLY shorter than Will Campbell. Didn’t know how much until now. I’ll be surprised if he ends up with a real shot at OT anywhere tbh.

oh, and will campbell sucks btw. the offensive line talent will continue to drop that coming up from college. There's no physicality left at that level.

Is Niman still on the roster? Did Icky retire? Niman filled in fine last year. 

The drop off from Mays to Corbett cost us games.

Tackle is not a priority as long as we still have Niman. Center absolutely is.
