Bozeman

It’s not even an argument the interior OL was the worst in franchise history this season.

It didn’t help that Both starting OGs were out. 
But Bozeman really took a step back this year.

 

That being said.  Should Center be looked at in the draft?  If one of the top Centers makes it to 65

a. Should we take them?

b. Should Bradley be moved to Guard?

 

Both starting Guards had major injures to end the 2022 season.  Then again, had season ending injuries this year.

Doing some digging.  Bozeman actually spent pretty much his entire time at Guard in Baltimore.  Not transitioning to Center until his last year there, which they then went out and drafted one in rd 1.

I would absolutely explore options at center.

The line plays as a unit. When you have 6 different left guards and 7 right guards rotating in week to week and many are jags, retreads and rookies, how good can you look. Our line was awful but we had a tsunami of injuries. Bozeman was last man standing in the middle all season long. I am more concerned about Ekwonu than Bozeman

Lineman should always be looked at. It can't hurt

[Jay Roosevelt]

Center should be looked at in free agency and if not then in the draft, yes.

[jayboogieman]

Yes, they should consider a center in the second. Same goes for every other position on the Oline including RT. The whole Oline can stand to be upgraded.

[Waldo]

Upgrade anywhere they can, especially on the lines. I don't care who is sitting at that spot if they can be beat out by someone else.

No idea how the OG play affected his play and not sure it matters in whatever scheme they will be running.

I would like to think injuries at OG effected him.

 

But I keep going back to the start of the season where he struggled mightily in the joint practices and preseasons Before Brady got hurt.

There's not a position on this team we shouldn't be seriously evaluating and considering in the draft.

Go BPA all the way.

The line was built as a downhill road grading power run line.

The new (former?) staff thought it best to implement a zone finesse scheme.

Not one of our linemen outside of Corbs fit that mold.

The 33rd pick in the draft needs to be traded for a later second and hopefully a third. 
 

I wouldn’t be opposed to 2 OL out of those three picks (trade partners 2nd and 3rd and our 3rd). 
 

Two interior Olineman in those picks and the best available edge rusher, receiver or tight end. 

[WUnderhill]

We need 4 new starting OL.

100%.

We had easy the worst IOL in the NFL and in the running for worst IOL in franchise history. Bozeman was a part of that.

[pdub0702]

Yes we should. To be fair, most positions on this team should be open to the draft..especially the OL.
