I think Freeling will see significant playing time this season. It's an inevitability.

I hope so. But not because of injury. Hopefully, he beats someone out or gets put in a lot of big personnel packages.

I said if he was their BPA, then he was the right pick. But I don't agree that he was BPA or would have the greatest impact this season. Not agreeing is not the same as not believing. 

He wasn't BPA. He won't have the greatest impact this season. Still could have been the right pick. 

As far as instant impact, you're likely 100 percent correct, but I disagree with you about BPA because it's at least arguable that Freeling was the BPA. You're going to be hard pressed to find a whole lot of analysts that thought Thieneman was the BPA over Freeling, all you have to do is look at big boards. Now, Lemon? That's more questionable, but...as you know, many here didn't want us to use the pick on a receiver. Their minds and thoughts were squarely inside the box. Analysts were susceptible to that as well. All that being said, it still won't surprise me if Freeling turns out the better player at his position than Lemon will as a receiver. That won't surprise me at all, and it may not take as long as some people think. But yeah, Lemon will likely make the more immediate impact, and it won't be close.

Maybe a fantasy but not an impossibility. Someone needs a OT mid season and we have a cheap Rasheed Walker and inside scoop on Christensen being healthy enough to be a backup by then.

 

Probably a stretch but not crazy. OT is never something you can have too much of. Serviceable OT are like gold or old Tacomas

Speaking of Christensen, does anyone know his status heading into training camp?

As much as I would like to go ILB I think you have to heavily consider Delp or one of the other best available wide receivers too. We don't need to get panicky and desperate trying to trade up. Just let the chips fall where they may.

Sounds like offense unless a coveted defender slides.
