Big drop off. Bad year and injuries.

We can do better.

I get this sentiment but a smaller tackle would be prone to get beat by bull/power rushers. He played with a torn labrum all season and had zero pressures allowed against a very good Georgia pass rush. I think all the LT prospects have issues. I am starting to like Freeling at 19 if he is there.

It's a win/win. He would do better with the Rams, and we would do better w/ the no. 13+ picks.

Agree. Dude is a freak athlete at 6'6".

By trade down I meant move up in the draft to 10 or so. Trading back to the 20's would be fine by me.

As bad as our luck has been (losing the playoff game, losing Icky, and dropping to #19 in the draft), having our biggest needs be deep positions in the draft (OT, ILB, C) is fortunate. Don't trade down, let the draft come to you.

Returning as what? A backup guard? His chances to return as a franchise LT are pretty slim. Sadiq is a luxury pick. I get his speed and athleticism are elite but he can't block, has problems with drops (sound familiar), and would be invisible to Bryce over the middle.

2019 traded up for Greg Little 2022 traded up for Matt Coral 2023 traded up for Bryce Young and DJ Johnson 2024 traded up for Jonathan Brooks and XL 2025 traded up for Nick Scourton. 1 out of 7. Hopefully, Morgan is still humbled by his '24 draft and won't think about it.

Agree with this statement but not the one below which directly contradicts it: I will say Bryce needs a serviceable LT or we might as well cut him now because he isn't making it through the season. After we replace the starting LT, it is time to spend some draft capital and free agency money on the D.

Not sure he is in the top ten but: His 9.99 RAS score, second among 1,512 tackles since 1987, isn't a gimmick. You see every bit of that explosiveness translate to the field when he kicks and slides in pass sets. NFLDraftBuzz

Horrible first pick. A 25 year old lightweight edge w/ short arms? Those picks also demand a quality LT in FA. Who would that be?

Not drafting oline on a regular basis is crazy. It has five regular positions. More than any other position and will make or break your team. Morgan was in a tough position, but he made it worse with his first draft.

Played w/ Evero in Denver in '22. This one makes sense if the price is right. Then go Oline, ILB, Oline in the draft. Morgan has yet to draft an offensive lineman. Crazy.

...and here i was being negative lol. You are right though. It could be much worse.

The tag for '26 is 28M. No way they tag him. He is projected to be worth around 60M for 3 years so they could still try to sign him on an extension for about that amount: JagsWire As someone else mentioned, the tag average factors in outside linebackers, aka, edge rushers, in the line backer formula. If they would distinguish between olb and ilb, the ilb would get a lot less.

Tagging Devin Lloyd would be really expensive as CSX said. 28M.

Who exactly is going to start at left tackle for us from FA or the draft? Rasheed Walker is the best FA and is expected to command a four year 85M deal with a lot guaranteed, and we have to fight other teams for him. We already have the most expensive line in the NFL. That playoff game really screwed us pushing us back to pick 19 and costing us a franchise LT. Dan Morgan will have to earn his money this offseason because i have no idea how we fill all of our holes.

Proctor scares me. Higher ceiling but also lower floor. He won't be ready to play LT early. Would have to let him play RT and Moton at LT to start i think. He's a 5.1 forty at 366 pounds. The man is a building that can move. Just not sure on quick lateral moves.

No way we go DT when Spencer Fano is on the board. We would snap that up right away.

I would take Lomu at 19 and Anthony Hill Jr at 51 right now.

The team with the smallest starting qb in the league just lost its LT.

USA Today has us last. NFC South Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +125 New Orleans Saints: +360 Atlanta Falcons: +375 Carolina Panthers: +380 2025 results:Panthers (8-9), Buccaneers (8-9), Falcons (8-9), Saints (6-11)

Exactly. It make no sense to pick up the fifth year AND spend 50M on what? At best, a qb competition where each competitor is making 25M+ or at worst a 25M+ backup. The team that overspends for him will be expecting him to start.
