Anybody thinking we'll draft more than one OL is going to be let down imo....I don’t see this team doing that even if both Williams and Hunt leave

I can see them bringing in a veteran and drafting one OL but that might be it.....not saying that's what I want.....just saying that's what I think they’ll do*covers ears* lalala I can't hear you lol.
Just judging by recent events, I think you may be right sadly.
Hope not though. But we'll see.
We will have to see if they add any cheap vet's in FA as well as who they lose to know how big the OL need will be.Anybody thinking we'll draft more than one OL is going to be let down imo....I don’t see this team doing that even if both Williams and Hunt leave
I've done a bunch of mocks and the only time I get a decent haul of players is by trading down. We can move from 21 to 26 or 27 and pick up another pick in the 40's. Trade down again when it's our turn. This draft is deep.Interesting, ya I guess a little premature before combine/medical reports are out but thought it was an curious choice in Kiper's mock. I too would really like a small trade down if at all possible, something in the mid to late 20's that gets us an extra third would be ideal this year.
Thanks for the feedback
I'd still pick three. Grier doesn't bat 100% on oline. Give him a chance to whiff on one. This draft is about being smart and trading down a couple of times. Build the trenches, make the oline a strength finally. Build from the middle out, get a Center, even if Williams is kept. He can always shift to Guard and play next to Armstead. That would make the left side rock solid. Jackson at RT. Too bad we're gonna lose Hunt but we can't resign everybody. Let a bunch of guys battle for the RG position. That would be a very good starting line imo.Good point, I keep grabbing two IOL and a OT in the mocks but you're right, carrying that many rookies at that position group would be unlikely. With trades being no given maybe one IOL and one OT is the best we can hope for given few picks and plenty of needs elsewhere. Or two IOL without the OT. The FO has probably not given up on Eich either and is planning on him taking a step similar to AJ last year (unlike the 99.9% of fan consensus on that never happening).
JPJ has to be the pick if available for me.
Tua needs to feel comfortable inside the pocket.
Barton may be versatile but isn't JPJ a higher rated Center.
With Williams recovering from surgery we may get a 1 year deal done with him and he also when recovered can play left guard.
Preferably Barton after trading down
I think that Fautanu is the safe choice. He's thought to be able to play OT (and has the long arms for it) but being shorter than ideal... many think that he fits more at Guard.I believe the best move is Fauantu if he is there.
Taking a guy who might play OG early does not worry me as much for this reason.I think that Fautanu is the safe choice. He's thought to be able to play OT (and has the long arms for it) but being shorter than ideal... many think that he fits more at Guard.
Normally... I'm against taking a pure Guard in the first, but the possibility of moving him to Tackle when Armstead leaves in 2025 means he is a now... and future bet. Now, he'll play Guard (at LG or as a replacement for Hunt), but eventually he may make an eventual move to the MUCH more important LT position.
This is not one of those shoot for the moon, boom/bust picks. It's a solid, unspectacular pick...
Boom/bust picks would be Mims or Guyton.
