Do We Double Dip Again?

Due to the success of bringing Kawann and Star together at the same time, will Gettleman and Rivera be more prone to double dip on tackle? Or do we likely get a guard and a tackle? I'm comfortable with Amini, but I don't know who will be the other guard as the entire o-line is looking like a mystery right now heading into this offseason.

I think all it is is an indicator that he's willing to do that if the talent is right. That's something that I bet a lot of gms can't say they'd be willing to do. Last time it worked and because they both looked so good this season they made the individual picks look better than if we'd just taken one.

It's all depending. If most of the the tackles are taken then the likelihood is when we pick at #28 we will most likely pick up a second round graded tackle! So with gettleman going on BPA we will most likely pick up a receiver, but again it depends on what teams pick before us and whether we trade down, I mean if all the first round graded tackles are gone and so are the high graded receivers then il have no problem with drafting down

I think it's possible, I just don't think it may be necessary.  If Gross comes back and all our injured Oline guys come back we really don't need to draft more than one tackle to be in pretty good shape.  The only other double dip possibility would be WR which, if we are going to be a running team,  we may not want to draft highly more than one rookie WR.  I mean, there are only so many snaps for a WR in our offense.  If we keep Smith, Ginn, bring in a decent vet FA and draft one good prospect those are probably our top 4 guys right there.  How often would the second WR draftee see the field?

 

That doesn't mean it's out of the question for us to draft more than one offensive lineman or WR, just that we may not have a need to double dip on either position with our first two picks.

 

It's not like last years DT position where we had a gaping hole and nobody around worth a damn to fill them.

Not at OT.  

 

I don't know why so many people are convinced that there is a likelihood that we're gonna double dip on OT, when there was no Meanie or Kug this past season. I think we may take one high if they are the BPA, but we have to get some offensive play-makers in here. We just have to. So if anything, I can see us double dipping at wide-out.

    • I truly think we *had* to hire a Canales. Nobody except a nobody wanted this job after the way things unfolded since Tepper took over.  I'd have offered Vrabel a blank check and said congrats, you'll stay the highest paid coach in NFL every year. But I still don't think he would've taken it with the stank we had/have on this franchise. 
    • This is something I definitely relate to. I have been saying we have been indoctrinated since year one. Hypnotized. Something. Not sure how to verbalize it. We got used to seeing it. Desensitized lol.  It looks normal now, but the first year and the first couple of games the difference between him and normal NFL QB play that I had been used to watching my entire long life was stark. And as a fan of the team, seeing it was fuging disturbing.  I remember after the first game in September 2023 just being kind of in shock over what I had seen on my TV screen.  And the 3rd game vs Seattle when Dalton played, it looked right again. Major difference. No wonder Frank had ‘that look’.  I noticed that by year two it didn’t seem that way nearly so much. But then I’d watch some other teams play and it was real noticeable.   And I don’t think we really see the arc or trajectory, or the velocity all that well on a telecast with those angles compared to being in the stands. Someone else might opine on that, I have not been in the stands.  I said all along I could see a way it could work, but really didn’t want to watch that kind of ball. And we have kind of done that. Made it work enough to get a playoff game. Here we are.
