Yeah, and I have a bridge to sell.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Membou and Booker. Get those bong photos circulating lol

Membou and Banks are the only Olinemen in play for me at at 13 if we go that direction.
Ersery is not to far behind.
I'm not drafting a guard only at 13.

RAS means nothing if you are so weak you spend all game on your back. Beyond that, half the stuff at the combine is literally useless in the NFL. Oh darn, my OG only has a 27” vertical and 7’10” broad jump. I’ll take a fat guy who can block all day.

You sounds like me for the last 25 years. I always thought we could stop gap the OL. I was wrong. Four years of Eich and banged up, has-been, never were guards convinced me that if you are weak in the trenches you have no chance. If you can't run the ball, you can't win. If your guards are constantly on their backs your offense will constantly be in third and longs. You can't do it.
This is a draft where our biggest need (IOL) matches up with where we are picking, we have to take advantage of that. we won't have enough money or opps to sign good enough vets to fix the IOL.
Someone in this thread made a great point that you can get safeties in the middle of the draft. Yes.
This is a really deep DT draft, we could get a good one at 98, 115 or 135. I think we'll take two DTs (at least in this draft) 2 safeties, a TE and a better all around TE than what we have.
but we need to take at least 2-3 OL, and imo, they should be in the first 2 days of the draft.

so there are no fatties after round 1? damn you Ozempic!
Its more than keeping Tua upright though. We would actually be able to run the ball between the tackles, and convert thrid and short on the ground.
Im dying to see us fix the damn oline.
That said, there ARE guys I'd take before G at 13 if they drop.....
Agreed.

improving on Eich shouldn't cost us #13

Totally agree, we need to pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd. 3rd seems more likely since teams don't like to part with a 2nd so easily.
That would give us 4 picks in the first 98 in which case I think we can find 4 starters. There is some good talent in the top 100.
Tyler Booker. Is not worth the 13th pick.

Agreed and its not like OG is our only need.
The OLinemen in the 2025 draft can't compare to the OLinemen of the 2024 draft. The talent in 2025 isn't not as good in comparison. Below par to be honest.
You can improve upon Eich with a guy off the street.
Its about building an oline that can compete with the big boys. You need more than just improvement over trash, you need to build it the right way.
With the ZBS you need a certain type of olineman. You cant find those guys in the late rounds or other teams cast offs. You have to invest cap space or high draft picks to build it right.
BTW, its not just Eich that needs to be replaced.

We don't need to take Booker at 13. We have so many needs we don't need to reach. I think we can find a comparable if not better OG in round 2 anyway.
I would trade down for either Harmon or Stewart. I want an impact defensive player with our first pick. Then address OL in round 2.
Then if we pick up an extra 3rd we could address DB and LB. Maybe Burke and Stutsman.
If we sign a FA Safety we could wait until round 4 to draft one maybe Sanker who was outstanding the other day.
