The CJ Anderson trade gives me hope that Fitty and Rhule can fix the Oline this year.

After our win against Houston I was pretty much in the thought pattern of:

Damn even with these injuries we got a pretty nice team coming together if you don't count the Oline. That's the one thing holding us back.

After the CJ Anderson trade I am not putting it past Fitty and Rhule to pull another one off at some point, say maybe trading Shi Smith (gonna have a hard time getting the ball thrown his way as much as he deserves being the 4th WR) and Daley ("Sure he looks awful on tape (insert some hapless bottom dwelling GM's name here), but that's only because he's allergic to the blue in our uniforms. Your team colors are completely different. He'll look like an All Pro for you! Besides, you're getting fired next month anyway, so why not get back at your owner?)

I could see Fitty finding a way to bring in one key piece with another trade, maybe a center to replace Paraplegic, I mean Paradis. Then if the rookies are up to starting around say midseason, we're in position to roll. I mean look gang, after the Cowgirls, we don't play another team with a winning record til Arizona FIVE WEEKS later. Our schedule looks like one that could afford us some breathing room early to be patient while our new OL develop. Then we go into the tougher back half of our schedule with a retooled line that at least isn't a glaring weakness. By then we have CMC back and with this D and potent skill position players...

The point is, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that we have to live with a completely subpar Oline all season anymore. Who knows what could happen?

There would be no reason to trade Shi. If he makes himself worthy of that spot and we feel like we can succeed by trading a receiver that will be Robby. (unless he has a no trade clause)

I don't want to see him leave, but we just spent all that money extending him and we have a lot of guys on the defensive side that will require a pay day. Plus, Robby's numbers are not that good. If we wanted to trade for a starting caliber offensive lineman, it won't be for a WR # 3/4.

Are you saying you would not trade your rookie late round draft pick 4th WR as part of a package for a starting quality OL?

I'll give you time to consider your answer carefully.

I don’t think any big time talent is gonna be had in a trade this year for the oline. The hope is Brady and donte get up to speed and can contribute and we can see an oline that gels and is adequate. We’re just looking for adequate at this point. If we make the playoffs this year we are a year or two ahead of schedule. I thought year 4 would be the year with year 3 being a hot seat for Rhule if he didn’t get us a wildcard spot. 
 

I want to see what those two rookies have this year so we know what we got moving forward for next years draft and FA. My hope is fitts doesn’t follow the Seattle method where they patch the oline together year after year. There’s some logic behind it with RW being extremely mobile and using resources in other ways but Sam isn’t as mobile and needs plus protection. Brady’s system helps but it would be nice to have an elite oline.

      Yeah I think they are wanting to let XL and Coker develop, but I don't see nothing wrong with a speed guy on day 2

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Basbear · Posted

      Finding that dance partner will be difficult and who's to say the team trading up has not offer a package to 5th, 6th, 7th??? They did and were turned down most likely.    I still feel 8th is the hot spot for OT run. If you want the best OT/OL in the draft, 8th is the way.    *But Ive been reading lots of Jets and others having Membou as their pick. Banks and Campbell are right there in great value terms. The whole deal is that pick for the Panthers, they are not looking to spend a top resource on OL, 31 other teams are.    I've also been seeing sanders falling out of the top ten, I just have a hard time buying that. ALso seen dart being drafted in the top ten. FYI last year NO ONE had a 1st round grade on Bo Nix and many thought Michael Penix Jr. was at best late 1st early 2nd. I laugh hard at the failcons drafting Penix at 8th, but I stopped laughing during that week 18 game.... he looked legit......barf....  So... one team could easily trade up for sanders or dart or begin the OL run or Jeanty causes a stir as he falls.  There are legit options, Brandt and Dan get paid for this...

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
