    Evan Neil from Bama who plays tackle for the Giants is up on the trade block. The Chargers could pick him up for a fifth round pick. His pass protection is suspect but his run protection the Giants have said is vastly improved. He didn't pan out the way they thought he would in New York. Maybe he needs a change of venue.

    He could come in and play RT. He's a back up role this season for the Giants. .very athletic

      Evan Neil, not Ryan. My bad

          He's been HORRIBLE for the Giants. I wouldn't want to give up a fifth-round pick. I would wait for him to get released.

            I don't, but sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes to shake out the cob webs. Playing in NY is a hard place to play. Playing for Harbaugh might be a good thing. Only sub him in on run plays if need be. Everyone knows we're going to be a run and gun offense. You're not going to find the cream of the crop this late in TC.

            let's see what Gro can do..

              He can't be that horrible if you're considering to wait and see if he gets released...

                Granted, if he has a dynamic recovery, and is 100 percent his old self...sure...he can play tackle. But chances are, he is gonna lose some agility...which has always mitigated his average length...and playing guard wont hurt his career financially...he already got paid. That would be a sick left side.

                Always looking for the silver lining, me...
                Some pre-draft scouting reports of Slater projected that his best position would be at guard. I think those reports were wrong, and many of them were written by "experts" who aren't qualified to make such predictions, but I do think it could be an option for us to move Slater inside if we were to invest a high pick on one of the top offensive tackles in next year's draft. It would actually be quite exciting if it were to play out that way, as I think Joe Alt is capable of being an All-Pro left tackle for many years, and getting another huge stud to play right tackle would make our line the most intimidating in the NFL.

                LT: Alt
                LG: Slater
                C: free agent or draft pick
                RG: Becton
                RT: Kadyn Proctor or another first-round pick

                  If it were me, I would move Alt to LT and let them fight it out at RT. LT is way more important than RT.
                  My final Mock:

                  1) Woods, Peter- DT/Clemson
                  2) Pregnon, Emmanuel- OG/Oregon
                  3) Moore, Derrick- EDGE/Michigan
                  4) Demmings, Charlie- CB/S. F. Austin
                  6) Klein, Marlin- TE/Michigan​

                    He has been, which is why I wouldn't want to trade even a seventh-round pick for him.

                      I agree. Maybe its Salyer. Maybe it will end of being Pipkins

                      I doubt the person they sign will beat either of them out but bring in the competition

                        I suggested Neal yesterday. I would pick him up and see if this staff can work with him
