All those teams that are deep in the playoffs have one thing in common: MONSTER OFFENSIVE LINE. You can't win without it. You can't be a one man wrecking crew in the playoffs. I see Wilson, Kaapernick use the run as the last option. If you think you can win by hiding the OL behind some gimmick read option you might win a game or two but you gonna burn out your star QB out.

As was noted with the 49ers OL, they have 3 first round pick on that line. Not some patch up scheme. Just bulldozers. The same for all the 4 teams left. I watched Cam and Griffin ran all over the place like it's some novelty act. That $hit look cute for a while then it gets boring when you're not winning(or getting your knee reconstructed).

Brady is a sitting duck in the pocket. It's amazing how someone can be so athletically challenged but he doesn't get touch because of the OL. Just because Cam is athletic doesn't mean he doesn't need the same protection. What Cam bring to the table, like Kaepernick, should be dessert NOT the full course. The Redskins are learning that lesson the hard way. They gave up 3 first round pick for a guy but forgot to protect him thinking they can just wing it.

If the 49ers play NE in the superbowl the difference is gonna be Kaep's mobility since everything else offset each other. Both team have WRs, great OL, good defenses, etc. The determining factor is gonna be Brady's inability to pick up 1st downs when no one is open.

With the new mobile QBs we'll start noticing even more lazy coaches(like Rivera), GMs, or even owners. You know, those organizations that think all they need is a superstar QB and wait for the sportscenter highlights every weekend, sale more tickets but never win a damn thing. How does a coach or GM not know that besides the QB position the OL is the most important is beyond me.

I know Cam is competitive and love winning, if this organization doesn't get this OL straight, hopefullly Cam is smart enough to bail out before his first knee reconstructive surgery. I would hate to watch a talent like Cam get carted of the field trying to pick up a 1st down to save Rivera's job every year.

I wasn't happy when I heard that Lewan and Matthews were going back to school. Joeckel will be long gone by 14 and likely Fisher as well. That leaves Warmack at G (maybe) and Jonathan Cooper available at our pick. I'd like Warmack because he will be the best player available that fills an immediate need but I wouldn't be all that surprised to see us pass on him in favor of a DT and address the offensive line in round 2. In the second I'd be happy with Dallas Thomas, Justin Pugh, Barrett Jones, Fluker, or Oday Aboushi.

The combine will solidify where a lot of prospects will land.

Wouldn't mind hitting up OL in rounds 1 and 2. We have to get tougher there, Byron Bell, while being a decent lineman struggles in the run game and RG has been a problem since Kedric Vincent (Camwaggoners say who dat?) Not saying that Bell is not starter material and could not be a starter, because I like him. Maybe Bell can battle Gross for the other tackle spot but we have to improve with a stud of a G and OT in my opinion to turn the corner. Also it's not easy to have a boss oline, backfield, dline, secondary, wr, qb etc. So don't pretend like coaches and GM's don't think it is important.....pretty fuging sure they do.

Aboshi feet doesnt appear to be fast enough for me. Would much rather have Fluker.

Give me Warmack in the 1st and Fluker in the 2nd and we will have seriously upgraded our oline.

my only issue with that is missing out on Rogers or Hopkins. but then again..... ol > wr

Wouldn't be opposed to a Warmack/ Fluker combo but I just can't see our GM and scouting department going that route with so many other glaring holes on this team (S/CB/DT/WR).

Are you for serious????? You are going to question Aboushi's foot speed and then say Fluker is a better option. Fluker looks like he has damn cinderblocks strapped to his feet when he is against a speed rusher.

i want the best oline for cam period. running and pass protection.

warmak & fluker

or

fisher & thomas (if by gods grace fisher is still on the board)

I like Warmack and Fluker and would be elated for what that would do to our run game if we got both of them. The best protection for Cam is to have our all world backfield running through giant holes. Fluker is by far the best run blocker at tackle in the draft but needs a little work in pass pro....something that I could definitely live with.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
