IMO...If Cam is healthy LT, Edge, S are definitely at the top of the offseason shopping list.  If Cam isn’t healthy QB is number 1

He better get healthy then...QB is a bust this offseason

Please stop. You actually think if we resign Williams that Kalil will be on the team? You are also going to hold onto Moton being a better guard in college? If so, why did the coaching staff put him back at RT his senior year? Why has he never played a snap at guard in the NFL? His college accolades were better his senior year at RT than his junior year at RG. 

Please post some real proof that he’s a better guard when his ratings/rankings have him as a top 10 tackle. I’d love to read that proof. I know where the “proof” came from and that was that one blurb that he might be a better guard due to a great game at guard against OSU. Well, he’s proven to be a better tackle in the NFL. Some guys don’t and play guard. 

Yes Kalil will be here ...

Yeah, that problem is too large for the human mind to deal with.

It’s not just Moton...

I can’t beleive that Rivera didn’t play Cam so that he could get more reps with D.J. against an NFL secondary, be damned if Cam is hurt or not, he’s missing out on valuable snaps for next year.

Lol fail...

People--if you play your LT at RT all season and let Clark play LT, and your starting QB goes down, your  backup goes down, his backup goes down---ya think maybe  we should have hit free agency for a RT and played the  future LT at LT?

This is not abstract caculometry.  Take a breath.

I suggested G in the event that they have determined that he cannot play LT--because it makes no sense that a LT would be playing anywhere else.  You do not take your LT and move him to RT for team chemistry.  You find a damn RT. 

The two most important players on offense (and highest paid) are your QB and LT.  Moton is unproven, and LT is different than RT.  The fact that Moton played RT all season IF he is slated to play  LT is not anything any NFL team would do....period...especially if the argument is "Clark can't play RT."  WHAT?  Find a free agent that can, you dont move your LT over there.  THAT IS STUPID.

We just need a good tackle and a better LG/C. If that’s Williams at RT or a rookie at LT, doesn’t matter. Moton is a great tackle and we can put him on any side. Whatever makes for the entire OL to be solid. We also need to draft at least one tackle even if we resign Williams. We have 0 depth as we’ve seen and Kalil is way too expensive to be a backup and is trash.

I wish we took Ronnie Harrison instead of Gaulden and Crosby (T from Oregon) or Hurst DT instead of Haynes. We’d have a good backup T/good DT and a starting S and two less holes to fill. They were such obvious picks at the time. Great college talents that were rated higher and fell. 

I know it’s not all that exciting but I kinda agree let’s get that OL straight.  We do have some weapons here.  1 serious pass rusher could make a world of difference too.

I prefer we try out Moton again at LG if we resign Williams to a favorable deal at RT. Kalil will be gone and we eat the money. I would love to trade back in the draft. Maybe grab both Oakland picks in the first and grab a oline and dline in the 1st. 

if we stay put draft dline and Center (rd 2 or 3). sign a LT cheap in FA until Kalil off the books. not ideal, but we were put in a bad position.

I don’t think he will. He’s terrible and we’ve seen street FAs do the same thing as him. If we are thinking about Williams, Kalil will be released. Wasting an extra $7m in cap and $12m in new cash on a backup isn’t going to happen. If it does, Hurney is as bad as I think he is. 

I think he stays...

Why do we need a good rookie T at LT with Williams on the right side if MOTON is a great tackle who can play either side? 

So if you draft a LT and play Williams on the right side, you bench a great tackle (smart idea) or play him at the G position (where Moton excelled in college) where we have a need (as well as C). ???

So you seek OL chemistry,  but you want to draft a rookie T, add a LG, and get a new C. 

Still struggling to see your argument--

If Moton is your LT of the future (and he is great on either side) he plays LT--Williams (assuming he is re-signed and healthy) is your RT. 

[MHS831]

The point some of you are missing---if Moton is the LT of the future, you play him at LT.  Since they did not--even for a meaningless game --suggests the following possibilities:

1. RR and  staff do not think Moton is a LT or he would have played LT. No NFL coach would play a LT at RT and allow street  free  agents to play LT.

2.   There were absolutely NO Right tackles in free agency, but  they found  2 LTs.  Ha, Kidding--that haas never haappenedl ever.

3.  They wanted to keep him a secret weapon.

4. He plans to go to LT camp and will be ready by next year.

 

Seriously--I think  Rivera plans on Kalil playing LT next year.  It could mean that Williams will not be re-signed.  However, if Moton is great at either T spot, you do not draft a LT--you draft a RT.  Duh.

WTF? Why would you ever take a top 10 tackle and try him at LG? @RoaringRiot Did we step into the twilight zone here and decide putting our best OL at the easiest OL position makes sense and that it’s better to replace both tackle spots?

Moton is a damn good tackle. Putting him at guard is a terrible decision. We need 1 more solid tackle. We can find a great guard in the 2nd round. Don’t waste a 1st on a tackle.

Also, we’ve seen what signing cheap LTs is about. I’m not ready to do that again. Clark was good for a few games and then settled back into reality. 

OK, why would you play a LT at RT all season while Clark flounders at LT?

And 3 qb injuries later...

Yes because we had trash on the other side of the line. Moton holds his own no matter what side he is on, but people act like if we moved him to left tackle the last few games that it would have solved everything. The best DE on the other team would simply switch to the right side and poof...same result
