2021 Draft- Olinemen

[like54ninjas]

Pretty ambitious plan, but I could see it working...if it all falls right.

I hate trading away picks, and especially future high picks...but I love the DB depth in this draft, and the coverage LBs...if we traded up for Sewell, I would rather give up next years first than this years second...that is, of course, assuming we had to trade up far....say to 4 or 6/7.

With Sewell in the first, you could go Holland, Melifonwu, J. Cox....or maybe go Jamin Davis, Melifonwu, J. Johnson...Day 1/2 plans....

My draft goals are simple....in no specific order....Left tackle and load up Staley's defense with the players he covets....versatile DBs and LBs who can run...then TE/RB/OL depth on day 3.

If we trade up for Sewell, I'll be happy....but I have to admit, it's not my only favorite scenario. The depth of skilled defenders makes me want to either hang on to all our picks this year, or even trade back. I wouldn't pass on Slater or Sewell, but if they are gone, would love to trade back and pick up a JOK or Moerig or maybe Farley or Horn, then hit that LT at the top of the second...I think Little is there...and you get that extra second...4 day 2 picks? I'm all about that.

Plan #1-Premiere LT prospect with a trade up in the first...thumbs up.

Plan #2-Solid LT prospect in the second, plus all our picks, or even extra picks, to flesh out Staley's defense.....Thumbs up.

Devonta Smith at #13? Driving to gas station for a 12 pack of numbing fluids....

One last thing....a lot of fans on here groan and roll their eyes when you talk about passing on LT in the first. Picking a very solid/promising prospect in the second round,(Little, Cosmi, Radunz, Brown) and maybe using a vet as a stop gap, is a plan that nets you a future left tackle (or now, if they overachieve and win the job at camp) and quality tackle depth, which we are also lacking.

If any of Little, Cosmi, Brown, Radunz were available @#47 I’d be stoked but that is a gamble as all can certainly be gone before. Little is by far the best of that group.

Sewell plus this above draft hall on day 2, I’d be in an hog heaven.
Day 3 would be gravy. Please let that happen.
All of those players are starters/major rotational players by mid season year 1.
And we have OLT solved for 10-15 years.

I’ve been a fan of Brown for months and think he’s the heir at RT for us

With that length, I don't see why he can't be groomed towards the left side...I'm sure whoever gets him will be trying him out there eventually.

I think you're right. I think all of these guys are legitimate prospects. But I think it's a gamble to wait and get them with #47. I think they all could be gone. I posted this on another thread:

Exactly! Cosmi, Little, and Radunz may not even make it to @31. I've been saying that for a while. A number of teams in the #14-31 slots needing OT's. Lots of them needing RT's (Raiders, Bears, Titans, Ravens) and others need LT's (Vikings, Colts, Steelers).

IMO, the LT's are: Sewell, Darrisaw, Little, Radunz... all getting 1st round grades from me.
If Chargers choose to bypass LT, even then, these guys don't make it to #31.
Sewell - gone before #13
Darrisaw - Vikings
Little - Colts
Radunz - Steelers

IMO, the RT's are: Slater, Jenkins, Cosmi... all getting 1st round grades from me.
Slater - chosen as a guard by Panthers or Giants. Possible move to OT later.
Jenkins - Raiders possible, Bears at least.
Cosmi - Bears, Titans, or Ravens.

Ravens are hoping that 2 or 3 of these teams pass on OT/OG in the 1st round.
2nd round OT's that could be reached on @RT: Brown, Leatherwood, Eichenberg.

I think this Chiefs/Ravens move is very telling.

I guess we'll find out in a week.

7. Philadelphia Eagles (via DET): Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon


Trade! The Philadelphia Eagles send picks 12, 84, 123, and Indianapolis’ conditional second-round pick in 2022 to the Detroit Lions in exchange for pick 7.

It’s a double-whammy of GMs here. Howie Roseman has always been aggressive to get his guys, while Brad Holmes comes from the Rams, where first-round picks are usually never made without a trade of some kind. As such, I think this is a perfect trade spot.

Roseman gets to leap all of Carolina, Denver, Dallas, and the Giants to take the best tackle in this class. There are rumors out there that the Chargers are also in the hunt for Penei Sewell. Philly has the edge in terms of total capital and picks one spot higher than the Chargers.

I know Philly needs a CB. I know about their WR situation. However, that offensive line has plenty of health questions.

Jordan Mailata showed flashes at left tackle, but Sewell is quite handily better right away. Mailata can move around as the team’s swing tackle or perhaps move inside. Lane Johnson has combined for 19 games in the last two seasons. Brandon Brooks missed all of 2020. With Philly seemingly pressing the reset button all over the roster, getting the offensive line sorted out is important. Nabbing Sewell is a damn good start to doing so.

Do you send 13th, 77th, & 118th, and a second RD in 2022 to Detroit to MOVE UP to #7 slot take Penei Sewell?

1 (13)	To Detroit
2 (47)
3 (77)	To Detroit
3 (97)
4 (118)	To Detroit
5 (159)
6 (185)
6 (198)
7 (241)

In all honesty, I'd rather trade back to #20, select Tevin Jenkins at RT and kick Bulaga back to LT. Then draft OT Walker Little as a heir for Bulaga. Let's keep the picks and select two tackles.

When has Bulaga played OLT? Back at Iowa.

No...#77 and a 2nd in 2022 I'd do,...maybe one of our 6th.
But i think, 13, 77 and the 2nd would be enough.

[powderblueboy]

radunz and elerson smith looked really good in those highlights of the practices.

When has Bulaga played OLT? Back at Iowa.

The Green Bay Packers drafted Bryan Bulaga as a left tackle out of Iowa in 2010. He found a home at right tackle as a rookie when starter Mark Tauscher was injured and never vacated the position.

Thank you, BJ. I've seen this debated rather hotly in other places and didn't get feel for where the true worth was.
