O-line Thoughts

[jobberone]

Campbell would probably be a good pick for us. I think Flo has another year in him which would allow Campbell to pick up some strength and learn the pro game. I'm not sure he'd be my first choice nor that he'll be available at 27. I think if they want to go OL then someone will drop who is worth the pick there. I do think they should go OT first if possible even though center is a more needful position. This draft is deep at OT.

I'd still pick up Bryant if he falls assuming he didn't fail his interview.

Campbell just strikes me as a workout/Combine wonder. A guy that does not even get one vote for All Conferance worries me.

I would draft best Oline available with the first pick regardless of whether it is a gaurd , tackle or center...

I would to and my guess is that it will either be Iupati or Pouncey and I'd be ecstatic with either. The consensus seems to be that Iupati is the better value whereas Pouncey is more versatile (Guard/Center.) BPA is still the smart choice...

Especially in the ACC.

I want to stay away from Campbell. Combine workout wonders are far from my desired players to draft.

Obviously they need to find Flo's replacement soon... I think Kosier and Colombo's should be challenged as well.

So you're not quite sold on Free at LT either huh....

No but I like him on the rt side when Colombo is hurt..

 

[blindzebra]

Free reminds me of Tuinei. Great feet and hands.

I said the same thing! Make him a RT!

Personally, I lean your way. He's a risk but with great potential. Iupati or Pouncey would be my personal choice for interior linemen. I would however be leaning more towards LT if the right man was there.

Free won't beat out Colombo or Flo this year IMO. This should be Flo's last year though.

Free can be a serviceable RT, but he has the tools to be a very good LT.

Flo will give us about 10 good games, then Free can finish out the year while we groom a real LT for the following season..

free is a real left tackle.

You need a mauler at right and an athlete at left.

Free is a left tackle.

Free is a left tackle.

There is no point in using logic here.

Those who think Free is not a real LT will always believe so no matter how evidence is presented to the contrary. He is the new Terrence Newman much like Marion Barber has become the new Dexter Coakley.

Until Free goes a full season as A LT we will not know. One cannot tell from one game. It does appear after less then half a season at RT that he can play there. LT is much tougher to play since he will face the best pass rushers there are.
