I'm starting to like Lane Johnson a lot.


Growl

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.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
