I guess I misunderstood your point. My point is that this this team cannot afford to pass up taking a starting tackle just because he doesn't need to start this season. I still contend that there is a 50% chance he would end up starting by midseason if not outright winning the job in camp.

We are in agreement on OT. It is a real need. 
And yeah even without a straight camp competition, I just think attrition would put him in play at some point. 
I hate to be so negative about Icky coming back right, but the history of that injury makes a bad outcome the most likely result.

Hope for the best. Plan for the worst. This is a great opportunity where availability and quality of prospects align perfectly with a hugh need at a critical position on the team. But I fear as in a previous situation with center in a recent draft the team will waste this opportunity.

I just dont see us taking a OT in round1, it would be a smart move if the right guy is there....but we rarely do smart things.

The only guys we have met with on a top 30 in the area of our first round pick is WR prospects so far, mainly Cooper and Concepcion. The only OT we have met with even close to our 1st round pick range is Iheanachor. 

I think they go 1WR, 2LB, 3DB, 4/5 TE/OT

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house. 
    • Not a chance. Maybe, just maybe if we move back far enough.
