So What Do We Do At Left Tackle?

One good thing is all three of the QB's can run.

Well, I think this means they have discussed Jason Peters, among others. I am sure Peters will be a hot commodity around the league for teams with young tackles. I know Miami drafted Jackson, Minnesota drafted Cleveland and a team like the Browns signed Conklin for RT possibly but LT they have the rookie - but Peters was a mentor for Dillard last year in Philly so those are the teams that might be fits

Now, Minnesota has the least amount of cap space; the Browns the most. But the Chargers can make a pretty competitive offer dollar wise - so hopefully they make the call.

No tackle prospects drafted. No trade for Trent Williams. No signing of the top UDFAs Throckmorton or Durant. TT must REALLY believe in Pipkins/internal options.

I think we sign peters or maybe trade king and picks for Trent Williams

I don't know why my thread about the lack of any big bodies taken in this draft was merged into a thread about a left tackle, because I meant it to be a discussion about DL and other OL position, not just an LT. But whatever. I wanted to discuss the neglect of the trenches on both sides of the ball.

[Bolt-O]

Un-merged. Sorry about that.

I doubt the 9ers let him go this soon, after trading for him earlier today. :whistlin::thumbsup:

We invested in DL last year and got Joseph in FA. The issue is really the left side of the line (LT and to an extent LG). And that's only assuming that the center position with Pouncey is okay.

Ahhh. Haven’t kept up haha. Well looks like it’s Jason Peters. Fingers crossed I’m not missing anything this time LOL.

It's odd though to go an entire draft without drafting an OL or DL, and Telesco has neglected both lines as Bolts GM.

Part of that is supplemented with FA where TT seems like to have more success regarding OL albeit it's more short term success given what happened to Okung, Slauson, and possibly Pouncey. We still have Tillery and Justin Jones to man the DT positions with Joseph and Square at NT. Obviously I believe in beef like you. But I'm more upset about the OT situation than in DL right now.
