I'm starting to like Lane Johnson a lot.

Still need a guard though, interior play was alot worse than tackle play

I think OG is the most cost-effective FA position to find talent at. We made a mistake with Hangman but I think Gettleman can find a suitable replacement after eeking out some cap space. Concerning OT, it all depends on what happens to Gross in the coming weeks or so.

you almost have to take him if he's available. Let's say we continue to improve in the win column over the next 3

years.....drafting at 14 may be and should be the highest we're going to see until the post-Cam era.

You feel comfortable taking at LT at 24 or 25?

I think we better get while the gettings good. Not to mention the need to protect Cam should be our highest priority.

Finally, I like the idea of him playing right tackle next year, and learning from Gross.

DT or guard in the second.

Johnson is a solid player and a very realistic option.

I just think he's more of a "potential" player than a "safe" pick. If it is between him and a better all around player when we select, it will be the BPA.

I agree to an extend, B'wood, but if there is a need at a few positions, LT and QB come to mind, the first round is about potential over BPA.

However, in this case, you could argue that we have a LT.

However, you could also argue that people should draft for known long-term needs--1 year contracts and free agency are best for quick fixes.

I dunno. It all depends on perspective. I see Johnson as an upgrade at RT for a year and a long term solution to fill a need at LT. LTs are rarer than CBs and DTs.

We shall see. I am not opposed to other options than T.

Says the guy who bumped a Trufant thread from September...Chocolate chip or Oatmeal Raisin sir?

The difference is that I was just bumping his thread because his name is getting hot, and all that I said was this was my first prospect thread of the year.

Not "OMG guys! I was the first person to ever mock him to us! Go me!".

Classic faggasaurus trying to make me look bad. The obsession will never end.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
