Mays was chosen because he has the tool and now he has one of the best O-line coaches in the game.  We are clearly looking to pound the hell out of teams on the ground.  

You have to give credit to Fitterer because they said O-line was a priority and we add a couple of solid vets and two rookies that could possibly start.  That doesn't count our very good 2021 rookie Brady Christensen.   

It's not going to be impossible for us to believe our worst unit, by far, becomes one of our best units in one off season.

The line had so many soft guys on it last year. Physical talent is great but that unit needs to be tough. It looked like Iike a wet noodle 4/5s of the time most of the year in 21.

Bring it young man. Great to hear.

This is why we always need to grab an OL in the late round as well. They seem to have higher success rates than other positions in the later rounds. It looks like we might actually have some OL depth now. 

100%.   I think we should be drafting at least 2 linemen per draft.   You literally cannot have enough of these guys.

This year I think Mays will be the backup RG.  My question is who is the starting LG?  Elf, Erving, BC or Brown?  I mean Mays isn't out of the question, but he's best suited to stay on the right side where he's taken a majority of his snaps, IIRC.  Ultimately I'd like to see either BC or Brown win LG as the other two are out the door after this season.  Speaking of which, if either of those two (Erving, Elflein) can't win the starting LG spot, that's a LOT of money tied up into backups.  Yes, their dead cap is significant enough that riding the bench is better than cutting them outright.

Outside of Moton, last year's OL starters will likely be backups this year and last year's backups are likely cut after camp.   What difference one year makes!

      After Graham, next best Dline players

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Current draft order NYG, NE, JAX, TN, CLE, LV, CAR. We need to ask ourselves "what is the biggest need of those teams heading into the draft"? And, "What positions do we know are not major needs for the teams above?" JAX is terrible, but we know they won't be drafting a QB. The Patriots won't be either. The Raiders and Giants definitely need a QB. The Browns have one under contract, but he's been terrible since they signed him. I could see all 3 of them eyeing QB's. Hunter is a wild card. He could be the first player taken. Or, he could slip because some teams may not want to deal with his insistence on playing both ways. A team with a bad O-line may want to go LT TMAC is going to appeal to a team that needs a playmaker at WR. If CB is major need, I could see Will Thomas (or Hunter) coming off the board prior to our selection at #7. It's possible that Graham could fall into our laps. Then again we haven't factored FA into the equation. A lot of these teams will lure some players just because of the large amount of dollars they afford to play them and fix some needs before the draft. It's going to be an interesting off-season.

      PFF: grading WR by ability to separate, YAC and catching the ball

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Sure, but despite being targeted less, he has more TDs than Odunze and more y/r than Nabers (and same number of TDs).  He's got a very similar y/r as Worthy.  He isn't stacking up that poorly to other WRs, but he has trailed off late - something that imo may indicate injury or needing to improve conditioning. He's not ever gonna be the best WR in this draft class, but he'll be in the top 3-5 with a bit of improvement imo.

      Oh for sure. With Rod it’s never the defenses fault. I think someone posted this in Reddit a while back. Rod with the forwards. Rod with the defense.
