The OL is a surprise, thought he might compete for a 53 spot.

Truth - Cutting Parker Ehinger has to be about his injury, he was going to be on the 53 as a backup until he got hurt.

I think so too. I can't see any sense in cutting him at this point otherwise.

Even if he's not the top 53 now, he's certainly not in the 80s or 90s of the current roster. And Stephen just hasn't been a guy to throw away rights to players.

Can't wait to rue this when someone does something somewhere on one play maybe.

If we keep nine, right now it's Looney, Sua'Filo, Fleming and Redmond. We could keep eight, or add a cheap FA tackle, or draft an OT, so nothing is set. I don't see drafting an OT as any kind of priority, though.

Doing something at T should be a priority, unless they plan on Williams or Fleming taking over for Collins in 2020. Contract year for Collins, and there hasn't been a peep about resigning him. Which is the right call.

I think they use a 5th or 6th round pick on a developmental project OT, with that guy being the 9th OL instead of Redmond.

Not the direction I want to go. I think our line depth is still good. I'd prefer in some order we draft DT, S, LB, CB, TE, RB, maybe even K if there is one worth taking late. Our fifth corner and fifth safety are easily replaceable. We need a second or third running back. We need to continue working to settle the tight end position (although bringing back Witten takes away some of the rush but not much). We have the numbers we need at DT, but not the "war daddy" we need. Our linebackers go five-deep at the most, and our kicker isn't that reliable.

I'd much rather roll with Fleming as the primary backup tackle and Connor Williams as an emergency option (with Looney stepping in at guard), then roll with some players who shouldn't be making the roster getting on because of numbers needed at their positions.

I believe we only have six picks, so one of those positions I listed already gets left out unless we trade down to acquire another pick.

Tackle is next year's problem IMO.
