I think he very well could be and what frustrates me is that if we'd played him more there last year we'd likely have a much better idea on this question than we do currently.

Absolutely, we knew by midseason we weren't going anywhere with what we had.  BC had a far larger upside than anything we kept trotting out there.  All that I kept thinking of was Rhule doing a Rivera and playing veterans over rookies.   

I also thought we should have put Brown out there and let him work on his craft.  We blew a great opportunity to evaluate the younger talent on this team because Rhule was being bullheaded.

Idunno how much stock anyone is to put is PFF. But FWIW, 

Cross: 86.7

Ickey: 91.6

Neal: 85.8

Lastly,

Christensen broke the PFF record for overall grade by a tackle at 96.0

Keep in mind Greg Little was 75.8 and All-SEC. 

As far as me, even if Brady is in our plans at LT, after the years we've had to endure previously, I'd make sure LT was no longer a problem for this franchise going forward. LT at 6.

It is probably hard to find a worse predictor of success than PFF college ratings.

Hence why their NFL draft big boards are usually so unbelievably bad.

Like Linville, this was one of my biggest frustrations about this past year.  Even if somebody was a wild optimist, we were 5-7 by the bye week and had five games left.  Our OL stunk.  At that point, if not before, BC should have been trotted out as the LT and Brown should have gotten plenty of snaps at G.

It sure would be nice to know exactly what we got in last year's draft.  But, we do know that BC is versatile, which apparently is more important than being decent - good - great at one position.  One minor position, like, oh, I don't know, LT.

What do you believe?

I believe ge should have gotten more snaps at LT so we arent asking this fuging question going into such an important draft. If for no other reason, Rhule should have to answer for this terrible mismanagement.

Passing on a LT because you have Christensen would be like passing on a QB because you have Daniel Jones.

The difference is you have more than 3 game tape of of DJ playing his natural position. BC is an unknown in the league can’t tell you if he bad, average or great

Another difference is BC is a year older than Jones. Hopefully BC can show us something before he turns 30. lol

“There’s people in the building that believe he can be the left tackle.”
 

Imagine if our staff last year had actually played him there in a lost season and found that answer before we go into a critical draft with little to no draft picks. 
 

man, week six of this season can’t come soon enough. I think Rhule gets six games and when we start 1-5 he’s sent packing.

Yep.

If the vets suck, do you really have anything to lose by playing the rookies? Especially if you're out of contention. It was just baffling to watch.

What were their OT rankings last year?

Also what big boards do you feel are good?

Im stil hot over that, not just the OL, but EVERYONE that was young - Shi Smith, TMJ, TREMBLE!!!!!!!, taylor alll could/should have gotten more reps/snaps. Dumb as all hell not to do that. Nothing replaces in game snaps.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.

      Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people

      His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
