Not when you consider they're almost certainly targeting a tackle at #19.

Sikkema is speculating they’re waiting on the Trent Williams domino to fall and that they’ll move in to pick up the corresponding guy elsewhere. 
 

I really don’t think they want to go into the draft with it being so obviously telegraphed where they are desperate, especially not with these options at OT in this class.

We are going to draft Lomu OT (1st) and Stowers TE (2) in this draft.

I think so too. I think they planned to go Defense in the draft, but had to pivot due to Icky’s injury. Not terrible, since we’ll need an OT eventually to move to RT or slide in at guard. Icky will probably spend the rest of his career at guard.

Stowers is a dark horse (from my perspective, anyway..not hearing as much about him as deserved--imo).  

I think we could go ILB here or there could be another edge to drop, but there are no Free agent TEs they want and the talent drops after Stowers.  He should be there in round 2

Stowers 2024 tape had virtually no in line tight end. All Hback and slot. I haven’t watched his 2025 yet, but scheme fit is going to play into his stock.

Don't get me wrong; having Trent Williams would be great but that's a big contract to take on.

I dont think they were draft planning in season. I think fans were thinking that way

I know but this is a serious deal. The guy from Green Bay is there. Top FA option. He is what I’d call half decent, not trying to say he is anything more. 
 

We are sitting in a precarious position, with RT probably being an option as a position for him if or when we can upgrade or if Icky somehow comes back whole. So we could use him there in the future. He is a three or four year starter. 
 

The longer this draws out with nothing done, the more I see a costly draft day trade up. Rather not. 

I don't disagree but feel pretty good that Dan isn't done with the position in FA.

Seems as if someone would spill f we were talking to any FA tackles.  

I hope you are right though.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
