Im starting to favor a walk in starter on the OL with our first round pick

[darthseinfeld]

OT, OG, even C if there is a Frederick level player.

Finding Tyron's replacement where we will likely be drafting is dicey, but Collins hasnt been reliable and Steele is really only decent.

Williams is a FA this offseason, and hopefully we wont invest a 2nd contract in him. McGovern is his backup for a reason.

Biadasz is solid, but I would definitely be down for an upgrade if there is a Creed Humphrey in this draft.

I really want another hoss on this line

 

[The Realist]

I’m almost to the point I want to go OL 1-3.

I wouldn't hate 2 in the top 90. Everyone on the line minus a healthy Smith and Martin are expendable. I also wouldnt hate a trade up to secure Smiths heir

 

[RS12]

Draft all the quality linemen you can. You won't be sorry.

 

[visionary]

Let’s face it, we could upgrade at OC, LOG and RT and Tyron misses several games every year and Dak folds under pressure so I’m good with this

We need LB by round 3 and several UDFA’s. Wolf Boy will be gone and #11 needs some help.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Would not be against it.

Biadazz is only in his 2nd season, and rarely played last year...he's playing better recently. Why waste a pick at OC. OG will be backing up McGovern or Martin.

OT is the way to go because Tyron will miss games and LC is LC. Draft a OT let him learn and get ready.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

If you have a shot at a blue chip prospect at guard I think you have to take him. You can have great success picking that position late in the first round as well. Williams will be gone after this season and McGovern is a good backup, but I don't want him starting on my line if I am Jerry. A tackle would also be an excellent investment but man, with where this team is right now I think you have to pick a player that can plug and play at a position of significant weakness. Quite Frankly I think safety will be where we spend this pick given all of our upcoming departures. I would not be against a stud LB either to pair with Parsons if one is there. I think what is great about this upcoming draft is that we're not perilously thin at any position next offseason besides safety (arguments can be made here).

 

[cnuball21]

Certainly not against it but the D remains the weak link of the team. We need to much more talent on that side of the ball.

What’s the ceiling on Biadasz because I don’t think it’s very high? He’s limited physically in my opinion. That’s what the coaching staff has to figure out.

While what you’re saying is true (Biadasz still gaining experience…) I’m not bypassing the position if a clearly better player is available. I would also add we currently don’t have a clear backup center on the roster. We should be looking another center from just a roster perspective.

Biadasz and the Conners to me are both Kyle Koiser level starters. They will be adequate usually, but they wont be an strength. Sometimes they will be a weakness depending on who you are playing. Im not passing on a guy like Linderbaum or Ekwonu because I have them.

Steele is interesting because of amount of improvement he showed from 2020 to 2021 was major. He may develop develop into a plus starter. However right now he is still replacement level

I don't know his ceiling, but he is in the Pro Bowl right now haha. How high are you willing to go for a OC? The defense needs a whole new LB group, another DE, NT and a Safety. A 1st round pick on a position where there's an adequate starter seems wasteful.

 

[Hardline]

Who are the top tier OL free agents this year?
If we can't draft a top OL prospect then we need to sign one in free agency. I would like to use our 1 pick on a DT or CB. But as always BPA is the best way.

 

[Risen Star]

And I want to just draft the best players.

Most fans will never understand the draft. They want to bastidize it for the current state of the team.

Very weak FA class

Yep. It's great when what you NEED lines up with BPA.
But BPA rules the day.

It’s tough to say right now because we don’t know how the picks will fall around 25-32, which is where I think we’ll end up drafting.

If the 5th highest grades LB is there at our pick along with the #1 graded center, I’m going with the highest overall graded player.

He’s an above average starter that’s been quietly having a solid season.

Id focus elsewhere.

I've been saying this for months but my feeling in the first 3 rounds they need 2-OL it needs to be our strength
and Tyron is simply out way too much
