Backup Offensive Lineman on the roster

[Coogiguy03]

Hoffman, Bass, Richards, Waletzko, what are your thoughts on these guys heading into the draft. Which player is most ready to step in and be a starter. There may be more than 1. With how cheap the Jones men are, our offensive line may already be here! What are your thoughts on these young backup OL guys???

I like Bass and will be confident with him manning the LG position. I've heard about Hoffman at center, but I'm not familiar with his ability to start there.

we've got a lot to see from these guys, if they're confident in staying with these guys, save OL for later in the draft

I'm not sure I'm that confident. I'd love to draft Jackson Powers-Johnson, center with the first pick, then concentrate on the defense with the next two picks.

I think they draft an OL, and let the others compete for the other spot.
They do not need to draft one in the 1st round though, unless absolutely BPA.

Hoffman and Bass I’ll give the thumbs up from last year as backups , Richards I’m still unsure about but waletzko has had chances and I haven’t been impressed plus he’s been banged up

Give me Barton or JPJ first round but if mims gets to 24 which I doubt he’ll be a cowboy I bet.

And JPJ would be just that, imho, although I doubt he lasts that long.

Solari gotta yet prove he can get them to progress.
Starters seemed bogged down last year, let alone the youth.

Got something against Edoga?

That's been my thoughts for the last few days, it seems they may be content with letting their depth battle it out, so why really waste a OL in the first round? There's so much depth in this years draft

I thought they were gonna let him go but they didn't

I think Bass and Hoffman both proved they can play when they got the opportunity last season. I think we will see Bass at RG when Martin is gone. I think we may see Hoffman at C this season.

I have no faith in Waletzko or Ball. Both seem to be on IR more than they are on the field. I think Asim Richards has potential. I am looking forward to seeing him in preseason this year to see how much he progressed. For him, the problem may be getting playing time at LT is the Cowboys draft a LT next week.

One question I have is can Richards push for the starting RT job is Terence Steele does not return to his 2022 form?

He mostly flew under the radar, but I kinda liked Richards. Passed an eyeball test for me.

In his limited snaps, PFF had Richards 10 points higher than Ball and Hoffman. I'll take it. I wonder if they let him compete at LG (I expect Tyler to move to LT).

I feel like tyler's been good at guard why not just leave him there, get your new left tackle for the next 4+ years

Just a random comment: The more I look at the roster and the more I think about the TFred years, the more I think C in the first round is the play.
Tyler / Bass / Elite C / Martin / Steele

Isn't so bad. I would be giving Richards and Waletzko an opportunity to unseat Steele too.

If they cut Steele after this year, he is a big savings. They could bench him, use him as depth and then cut him in the offseason. Or he could play really well, keep his job and he could stay. Either way works for Dallas.

front office loves Hoffman and Bass, Richards. Don't be shocked if we don't draft a tackle early.

They view him as Steele I think. A guy that can start at LT with some coaching. They might think hes the answer at LT.
