Left Tackle options

In Rhule’s last press conference he alluded to some guys not being willing to tough it out through minor injuries.

I would have to guess Little or Daley were one of those. 

Both have had these concerns about injuries. Daley has definitely received more praise by both coaching staffs about his performance but unfortunately can’t stay on the field, and what’s more concerning is that he never returned to play after his concussion. Little seems to be a lost cause, he constantly has minor injuries  and terrible on field performance.

Obviously we haven't seen offseason workouts yet, but based off some of the big boards, I'd be willing to go after Mayfield, Carman, Randunz or Eichenburg in rounds 2-3.  Walker Little scares the crap me with the history of knee injuries.  Cosmi and Darrisaw should be gone in the 1st round.

Browns are gonna have a shot. They should get it back with about 1:10ish to play.

There is a reason Moton stayed at RT when we had NOTHING on the left side---I am not sure he is the easy answer.

I think we have to draft a LT, and the draft is really deep at LT---expect a second round LT, getting it right this time.   Walker Little (S) has not played in 2 years (injury/Covid) but he looked good in 2018--that will cause him to be there in the second round.  There are 6-8 that could go in round 1.

What I do?  Re-sign Scott and draft a LT in the second--hoping he is ready by mid season.

Little ---He does not scare me because he has had 2 years not playing--but I see that.  We draft Little LTs (play on words--I am hilarious) well.

Eichenburg is my favorite followed by Randunz.   Mayfield only played RT/G at Mich.  Carman might project to G---but these coaches are not going to take players that fit a mold; they will be finding players that fit a system.  Gonna be fun to watch.

So you are on board going QB then LT in rounds 1 & 2 as well?   Cool.  Round 3 I'm looking for Jackson's replacement.

If we end up taking Lance at #8, Randunz almost makes too much sense as long as he's still available.

I think we have to--get your QB and then protect him.  If we draft as well in 2021 as we did in 2021, we should be fine.  Even if the LT learns on the fly, he will be better than what we have had. CB could be the pick in round 3....I am hoping for a LB, but it all depends on how they fall.  The draft seems loaded at CB---

I really like the big CB from Tulsa Allie Green in the middle rounds.  Tulsa had a great Defense and he is one of the reasons.

Yeah I doubt that. More than likely he's a year away from being done in this league. It was a horrible pick by hurney. 

Too soft, unfortunately, for G.  Good thinking, but I think you are right.  He will be depth here for a year then gone--unless we need the roster spot sooner.

Daley could become something if he could stay healthy.   That would be huge--

I'm not even sure he lasts in TC. Another team will definitely pick him up but he won't impress.

Step 1: Re-sign Taylor Moton 

Step 2: Move Moton and his Brinks truck to LT

Step 3: Draft Rashawn Slater and place him at RT

Bookend tackles for the next 6-10 years.

You like Slater more than Darrisaw?

I do. If we trade back, Darrisaw would be a fine option as well, but I really, really like Slater. Sewell is the pipe dream, but Slater is more of a reality.

He's not wrong. 

Daley would be a solid piece of the puzzle if he can bounce back from his injuries.
