No doubt it's our biggest need right now.

 

 

Biggest need in general? Maybe. Biggest need to fill through draft? No. You can find serviceable RT's in free agency. While this is a band aid strategy. CB and WR are harder to fill. You have to draft quality talent at those positions. We've put off both positions for far too long. 

 

That being said, I won't be upset with drafting an OT, but I think our team would be better suited drafting CB or WR in the first round. 

 

For further consideration. If Gross retires, OT screams up to the top of our top offseason needs.

I'm on the Marqise Lee/Sammy Watkins or LT band wagon. Barring some miraculous run to the playoffs by Rivera I hope we're in position to get one of those impact players and yes, the Left Tackles in this Draft can be impact players....

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
