    Folks today saying that the draft has some good options for G but itโ€™s within the top 50 picks and then itโ€™s over.
    There arenโ€™t starters later in any capacity. Itโ€™s even worse at C. Injuries and itโ€™s just a poor class.

    Guys at PFF saying that the actions by teams yesterday shows that they are just not seeing NFL teams believing this is a strong G-C class and it obviously showed yesterday with the contracts that were handed out immediately when the tampering opened to interior offensive line players and in the build up to yesterday with KC and CHI.

    Trevor Sikema who is Canadian Bolts guy said that the biggest signing yesterday that blew up the draft was OT Dan Moore (who gave up 12 sacks last year) getting 4-82 MIL and Aaron Banks getting 5-77 MIL.

    As an aside, this wonโ€™t help Hortiz getting a slight discount on Slater not that it wasnโ€™t going to be expensive anyways.

    Yesterday was not a good day if you desperately needed o line and did nothing.

      back up OT at best
      but thatโ€™s not worth 6.75m
      I say just go get a G who can play swing tackle and be done with it.

        the problem i see with that plan, is that Zion and Bozeman appeared to be partners in crime on completely misreading blocks.
        So letโ€™s have them cover for each other nowโ€ฆ

          Or Zion, Bozeman, Pipkins.

            Just having fun here, Pollcat...but Ill throw you a nugget concerning MY plan...it didnt include Bozeman...it did include Poona.


            Ill wander in the kitchen when my wife is cooking, and stupidly say things like "your putting green chillies in that?" or "Celery? I dont like celery in that..."

            She just shakes her head and rolls her eyes, cuz she made the same exact dish a month ago, and I loved it...

            Still hoping that while I am skeptical concerning the preperation, Joe's final dish is "Mwah! Bellissimo!"

              No to Becton...red flags all over that...one year prove it deal...he gets paid, he will be right back in the training room.

                I just know Hortiz needs to add WR, even MW or Kupp.. somebody, and RG if not center

                  Zeitler might be okay at this point. Just getting desperate . Thanks Joe

                  I know he has a plan - just not sure what the hell it is other than draft and develop, with fiscal responsibility

                    I guess having the second most cap space doesn't really mean anything. No pressing needs have been addressed. We lost guys who contributed and held onto a couple of guys but overall we have less than before. Looks like the Vikings addressed OL and DL, Bears addressed OL and we addressed next to nada.

                      Eagles trade for Kenyon Green...so Becton for sure not returning. I hope he aint coming here.

                        If you donโ€™t spend it โ€ฆ does you no good

                        but spending it stupid is not good
                        granted spending on a solid OG isnโ€™t stupid
