The contract was stupid. He'll be on the roster no matter what. Do you want him starting?
He can be cut next year for cap savings.
To me it's obvious that the O-line fell apart after Linsley (they were kicking ass) became ill and the longer Corey was out the more they continued to regress as a unit as injuries piled on and the season spiraled out of control..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

And then cross your fingers...

My preference is Bowers, Nabers, Odunze at 5 ( we really cant lose sight either that the most important player in our franchise needs weapons beyond a 31 year old great possession receiver with a massive cap hit while in the rare position to get elite options) or trade down for a tackle or CB for extra draft picks.
But you are right we really dont know what Harbaugh and Hortiz will decide to do. The obvious options for value at 5 look like Bowers, Nabers, Odunze, Alt. I think its one of those 4 barring trade down. I dont think it is a bad thing if we take Alt, but I think we will be drafting lineman every draft from now on.Plenty of chance to get good linemen. I just believe a baller like Bowers doesnt come along very often. You want a culture changer who plays hard and physical, can block, awesome hands and runs 4.48 he is your guy. I think he would be a blast to watch the next bunch of years. We have no one who breaks tackles and gets YAC. Everett a little but he is pretty pedestrain at the position really. He has one season of 500 yards in a 7 year career, and that isnt even a good benchmark for good TEs.
At this point, before combine, I maintain I dont see a defensive player worth a top 5 pick. The 4 I see are Bowers, Nabers, Odunze, Alt. I dont hate Alt as a pick, its just my least favorite.
If Hortiz manages to trade down just, say, three spots, one of those three could STILL be available.

Agree with you, man. If the Bolts pick at #5, Bowers, Nabers or Odunze would be the premium targets.

Their OLine was pretty bad last year

Trey wasn't the only guy on that line that had a bad year, they all did, even Slater didn't play up to his previous standard...I know you don't like Trey and that you didn't want the team to resign him last year but why give the other guys a pass and bench pipkins in your scenario? Seems like you found a scapegoat thru confirmation bias. I would make the argument that Zion and Salyer played even worse than Trey last season. I don't have the statistics but to me from watching the games it seemed that the amount of pressure given up the middle exceeded what came from around the edge. What's with the double standard, is it just the contract or feelings about the player before he even got the contract?

Pip has never had a good year, ever. Zion and Salyer, yes, they’ve both played much better than Pip at his best, not even close.
A weak avg maybe but better. The OGs were lousy.

My guy is Bowers but i wouldnt be terribly upset if we went another direction. Those i listed are needs and no DT is worth the top 8 or 10 so id be good with either, though a tad grumpy missing Bowers
