Not sure if they think he’s terrible and not worth a mention or they just forgot about our 2nd round draft pick from less than a year ago…either way I would not be happy with this pick considering they still have Kelvin Banks and Tyler Warren still available in their mock.

The disrespect and/or stupidity is real.

I think I might draft Banks since he can play OG if Paul is able to be our starting LT next year but in case he isn't then Banks can start at LT.

Ya if Banks or Campbell are on the board they are better picks then Simmons. Both those guys can play inside as well as tackle. Can't pass on that at 13. They can start out at guard, but also replace Paul if he falters or if AJ goes down again he has back to back season ending injuries). Both those guys are an immediate starter at guard and fall back options at OT.

I agree and I think its time to finally move on from Armstead. Banks won the Outland trophy as the nations best lineman so thats about as safe of a pick as you can get.

Ideally Paul starts at LT, Banks at LG, Brewer at C, We sign a FA at RG and Jackson at RT.

Then draft another O-lineman later on in day 3 and sign another cheaper FA for depth purposes.

Yeah no thanks. Coming off knee injury and is a tackle. Give me Banks or Campbell who both project better inside where we need them more but can play tackle in a pinch.

Ringer has always been a joke site.

Booker or Zabel would be decent consolation prizes. I have a feeling Banks and Campbell are going top 10

That could very well be true. If thats the case then I would look to trade down.

I would be happy with Booker or Zabel. Zabel might be a better selection since he also has the ability to play LT but Booker is an exclusive OG.

My preference if we miss out on Campbell, Banks and Warren is just trade down to pick up extra capital and draft Milum…i think we can get him early 2nd, so if we get a 2nd 3rd and possibly a pick next year I’d trade #13 for that then use the extra draft capital to draft a S and DT, then double up on OG and an Y TE with our original picks

I don’t think so I think both will slide with their questions about playing tackle. Guard is typically “not valueable” enough for a 1st but given our need and scheme I’d say go for it however two in the top 10 would be crazy.

Booker doesn’t look to have the athleticism to play guard for us. Hes more of a power blocker while we run outside zone. While id love to switch to power, highly unlikely McDaniel’s goes away from all he’s ever known. We’d be starting from scratch essentially as Brewer is an outside zone guy and would be rendered useless in a power scheme as I’m not even sure he’s 300 pounds.

Zabel certainly interesting though. Perfect for outside zone. If he’s there in round 2 would love that pick.

I really hope some teams fall in love with someone around our pick. While picking up someone elite like Campbell or Banks would be great, we need so much help. Would love to trade back to low 20’s pick up an extra 2nd so we can grab 2 linemen in the first 3 rounds and maybe a safety and DT.

Not sure he’d ever do it but chargers falling in love with Warren would be interesting. Don’t know if Harbaugh trades his 2nd but Tyler Warren probably has him wanking it to him with his ability to block for his run game while providing Herbert another receiving target. Draft value lines up for their 1st and 2nd for 13th.
 
Patrick Paul isn't a finished product and may never develop beyond where he's at now. He's suseptible to the inside move and until he's able to handle that with consistency, he may never improve into a reliable starter. It might take a few more years of seasoning, but as of now, he'll need a strong presence at LG to help protect him.

Paul is fine, he flashed some really good stuff on tape. If he was ever going to kick inside would have been this year with Armstead here. Doesn’t get much worse than our guard play and he never did. With that said I agree if we spend money on one big free agent I’d make it on the left side guard to help him out best.

That's my hope. Get your experienced, starting caliber LG in F/A.
 
I sure hope we don't go into the season relying on Paul to be a starter.
