I see. I mean, if he was flat out AVERAGE.  I would be happy with a one year 6 million dollar deal for any starting tackle 

This.

I wanted Veldheer and he is flat out at best average right now and 6 million for that, you take.

I’m torn on that. I understand the need for a franchise tackle but we may very well have that in Williams and or Moton.   A first round tackle sitting on the bench grinds my gears a bit.

We have nothing at DE and I think at this point is probably the better choice in the first round.

Problem is, Williams has a history of injury, what happens if he gets hurt again? Moton slides to RT and who's left for LT? Kalil? What happens if Moton is not great at LT but best at RT? Considering above average OL is not plentiful, better get it while you can, and cheap too.

If you look at the top OL prospects, a majority are pretty versatile having played mult positions along the O line. Draft an OT, start at one of the G spots, and already have backups in Larsen and Van Roten.

Thats part of negotiating.  You have to find a number and stick to it.  Thats how I got my sectional for $250 off craigslist.

I just think that bringing back Daryl Williams is counter-productive when you already have a solid - borderline elite - guy in Taylor Moton on a rookie deal manning the right side and keeping it elite.

Because I don't know if he can easily switch to LT and make that elite, while Daryl Williams comes back healthy and actually plays like an All-Pro.

Maybe I'm seeing this wrong?

It'll be interesting to revisit this in a year.

Hopefully Daryl turns out well. I'm skeptical he's as good as perception says he is, but we'll see.

Prove it deal? He better prove it. I think it's a bad move, but since I'm in the minority despite watching his film, I'll keep quiet.

I am too, but we'll see. The price isn't bad, at least.

For now, my happiness is contingent on confirmation that Moron is moving to the left tackle spot

It’s a one year prove it deal. These kinds of deals are great for the team. We are suffering at oline, give him one year to prove it. If not we are out 6 million that would go to what exactly? No dline that matters is going to be cheap and that’s all we need. Could argue it won’t roll over to next years cap but I’d honestly rather see if he can come back because as I said, we need a RT.

Furthermore if this means trying Moton at LT it’s even better. What options do we have right now at LT? LT rookies rarely pan out or would be better than Moton though I’d still like to draft one.

Can’t see how this is a bad deal in more ways than good.

This. It becomes an ideal move if it means we now move on from Matt "biggest mistake since Sean Gilbert" Kalil.

Oh 6 million is the figure being reported.

kill me lmao.

6 million for a starting tackle is peanuts. Thats only 1 million more than our #4 WR made last year.  Hurney knocked this one outta the park.

Look at it this way.  There is no better value to be had for that 6 million dollars than a starting NFL tackle, regardless of the side.  I would pay 6 million for a back up swing tackle.

Kalil sucks and there's a high chance he ends up on IR anyway. Williams isn't great, but he's solid.

Keep thumping your chest about your "film study" and worship of Twitter analysts no one has ever heard of and for good reason. We all remember how Funchess was going to to excel as our #1 WR and Worley being better than Bradberry. LOL!

Or Russell Shepherd..........

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
