How do you fix this OL next year?
I don't really see anyone on this OL that should be assured of a starting spot in 2020.
Do you really want Jesse Davis protecting Tua's blind side? Sure, he would be ok to average but not the type of player I would count on long term. (They obviously feel differently but that also worries me).
Deiter at LG has a lot to prove to remain, IMO. Yes, he deserves time but the LG spot should not be ignored just to put all your eggs in his basket.
Do you draft a LT high (Wirfs) when it may become the 2nd most important position on the line? This is another dilemma from the Davis extension. Would you put Davis on the left side and draft a RT high? (Wirfs can play both).
Also still need C & RG.
I realize we may not be able to fix the entire gutted roster in one off-season but the OL rebuild is going to be of huge importance, if we make that #1 OA investment in a rookie QB.
We also won't have a RB, A TE that is still a question and no consistent WR's yet.
and then the defense....yeesh
This is why Deiter was such a critical pick, and we really need him to turn out to be at least avg. So far I'm not seeing it. And yet another problem with the Rosen pick is we could have taken McCoy and had C locked up for the next decade. Instead we come out of the draft with 0 pieces at the moment. Jesse Davis would be a great rotational backup type guy, he's barely starting caliber if compared to good teams in the league. But I suppose we will be stuck with him at one spot bc we can't fill 5 in one off season.
I would personally sign 2 above avg/elite lineman in FA (assuming they are available), then I draft a lineman with our 2nd or 3rd pick in the first round, and then another one in the middle rounds. Position would depend on what we do in FA, but 2 elite C should be available in the first round in Biadaz and Creed Humphrey.
