Grade these recent drafted OL…

[royalshank]

For me:

Dallas Thomas: F
Billy Turner: C-
Jamal Douglass: D-
Austin Jackson: F
Michael Dieter: D
Liam Eichenberg: C-
Solomon Kindley: D-
Robert Hunt: C+
Laremy Tunsil: B (due to penalties and brown farts)

Fair?

And the two guys who don’t have failing grades aren’t on the team!

If they were on the team they would have failing grades. I'm not even joking, that's how inept we are.

 

[tommyp]

still have hopes for eichenberg if they play him at RT.
and turner has had success at GB so maybe a B.
all the rest i agree with the OP

I still don't think Jackson is a lost cause. His play did improve at guard, and I'd like to see if a line coach that knows his ass from his elbow could potentially make a difference in his career.

Maybe he just sucks, but the line almost more than any unit needs good coaching.

I forgot Hunt - C+ ?

Probably right. They weren’t good when here. Tunsil was ok but not elite.

The second Tunsil left he makes 2 consecutive pro bowls and is ranked as a top 10 pass-blocking LT.

If that doesn’t scream coaching I don’t know what does. Even Billy Turner looked hopeless here and he’s had a career protecting Aaron Rodgers.

Tunsil netted us 2 firsts and 2 seconds. A+ in my book

Pretty fair. I think Deiter has been decent. Maybe a C- type grade.

me neither, maybe with better coaching he can be ok at guard.. deiter too. move eich to RT. bring in 2 fa's and draft 2 more. but for god's sake please bring in a quality oline coach

I’m not as optimistic. I’m not so sure his play really improved (well okay, I guess it’s impossible not to play slightly better than his stint at LT this year). I think it’s more that it’s easier to hide a crappy guard than a LT.
