I believe you're right, whether I like it or not...🤪

With the 17th, I would pick Gray Zabel...

Agreed on the trenches. I'm thinking EDGE at 10.

I don't think he'll get under 4.4 either. But, if you take a ten or fifteen yard split, he's as fast as anyone I've seen. If Ben Johnson wants to run a lot of play action, Jeanty would be a dream. Does anyone know if he can catch or pass protect?

In their evaluation, they will factor that picks ten through fifty are similar.(This year) If Jeanty is an outlier and we trade can't trade back, he may be the guy.

💯

Has he ever? Constant under-performer per dollar...

I'm starting to do a 180 on my initial reaction. With the cap going up, the OL market took a huge crap. Looking at Jackson, he previously played really well at OG. With the Rams, he played all three IOL positions and underperformed at center, while being injured. Thuney is a stud. Even though he is 32, he's very durable. I can see him being above average for at least three years. Both guards are better than what we had. It's time to nail the center position. With IOL being a strength in this draft, I would love to see two future starters come out of it.

I've been looking hard at the IOL market. From what I'm seeing, the cap increase blew it up. Teams should be able to keep the free agents they want. It may actually drive Jenkins down to a friendly contract offer.

With this second trade, I'm starting to see EDGE or Jeanty in the first round. However, I still want pedigree youth at OL. Since IOL is so deep; why not draft two in the second? We need someone at RG and Thuney is 32 and will need someone to be ready. Please don't get too cute, Poles...

I hate this on every level. Same ol shit...

If we could draft Membou and Zabel, it might just send me to hang with Virginia. Both of these dudes are athletic and nasty. Problem with Membou is that he's a right tackle. Can he play left? I'm guessing yes. He's still 20 years old, so there's room to grow. With Zabel, I think he's going in the first.

Do you think he's a solution?

If a QB falls, someone like the Steelers may want to come up. It's a crapshoot...

That was Daniel Jeremiah. He is as good as it gets from the media perspective. I watched the entire combine drills today while doing my own research. It matches up. If IOL is the same, we don't have to use a first rounder on that or DT. That leaves EDGE, trade back or Jeanty with our #10.

This! It's because Gibbs was a huge upgrade over Swift. Whenever you can see an upgrade that you can truly weaponize, do it...

It's not my recommendation due to me being ALL IN on the trenches. But, I do see where a guy like him could be a chain mover. If we have three new guys on the IOL, he's their best chance to succeed as a unit. Big picture may be there too. Is it my plan, no. But I didn't hate it either.

Agree to disagree. Jeanty may have the best contact balance I've seen in a long time. Possibly since Walter...

Thank you. All said, if Jeanty is deemed the dude that can help the new OL and Caleb succeed, I'm in. Swift would be a good third down back, with Roschon being the third back. That would be solid.

Starter IOL are thick in rounds 2-4. All depends on free agency. Building a new offense with young OL, their number one friend is a great running back...

I like the Dalmen and Zeitler approach to upgrade the IOL. Draft your studs instead of buying them. This is the year for IOL in the draft. Same with defense bring in Young and draft a young edge. I'm to the point where we have to use our #10 on an EDGE, Jeanty or a Bowers type TE. There are good fatties in the second through fourth rounds to fill the trenches.

It's an official no.

Other than the first two sentences, it's a very solid mindset. As for the first two. Nobody builds a team around the RB anymore.

I would argue that we need DE 1. Sweat is good, but what is his best season? We need a perineal 12 sack guy...

Yeah, Jeanty is not a new thought on here. I think AZ54 scooped that thought first. At the time I was against it. But, knowing how deep the IOL draft has changed everything.
