What I prefer our OL looks like next year.

Cross

Christenburg

old probowl FA

Brown

Moton

draft a young center, but plan to replace the Vet C in 2 years

I like it.  Here is another one. 

Free agent - LT  Leno Jr, look him up. 

LG Ikem

OC rookie like Jarrett Patterson

RG Brown or Rookie Josh Sills

RT Moton

I don’t like the FA suggestions. We aren’t competing in 2022 with no QB so stop the stop gaps that cost a bunch of cap and cancel out comp picks. Two other things, first, draft a top 5/6 LT and play him at G? Why? If he’s the LT of the future, plug him in and don’t worry about growing pins because Sam and PJ getting hit is meaningless. Second, Brown is way overrated in here. I wanted Smith over him and that was the right call. We haven’t seen Brown play against legit NFL players yet, heck even BC is untested. Sure, he played well against WFT but they were missing Young and Sweat so essentially he’s untested as well. I don’t mind if they are in the discussion but there’s really nothing concrete yet that BC and Brown can be average or above.

I definitely would like a rookie LT to pair with Moton and then let BC and Brown fight it out with the other 3-4 day 3 OL picks we make (hopefully). Maybe try out some FAs that don’t mess up any comp picks and fill in depth with Erving and Elflein. I’d also be a big fan of using 2023 day 2 picks to finish the OL.

This is the Matt Rhule Panthers. If we draft a top shelf LT, he's gonna play C or RG. Then we can grab an overdrafted and undersized RT in the 4th to play LG. Obviously Erving will be the LT.

There are three elite tackles in this class, and another elite interior guy in Linderbaum. If you don't believe in one of the QBs, you take one of them. Anything else is malpractice.

I like this logic, I just think you could possibly get OT3, C1, or possible a QB that you like by trading down.

Also who do you consider OT3? Ekwonu?

That’s my fear.  They overdraft a qb at 6 and we roll him out behind this line and then we are stuck.  

You don't draft a QB to win now.  If anything, it's the opposite, you sign a vet QB and draft a lineman to protect him.

Nobody expects you to win with a rookie QB.  The only way you save your job with a rookie is showing improvement over the season.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
