I think with losing Wood and Henderson, it becomes especially important.

 

Do either of these signings have a real shot at contributing? I dont know them very well

i think it's huge! i'm psyched! i can't see how newhouse doesn't automatically start at rt. i think connor mcd may have some upside and is fine for depth so cutting mills should be a wash money wise.

 

seems like we got a helluva center as well. that could give them the option of cutting ducasse and moving groy to guard with miller as depth. i love these guys!

Josh Allen or Mayfield could fall all the way to 7-9 and we could trade up. It all depends on Denver. Just because analysts say what they think it doesn't mean that 1-2 guys won't drop...

 

I want to wait until draft day and move to #9 from #22; If we trade #22, #56 and #96 to SF 49ers (they have no 2nd rounder) for pick #9 and their #124. 

 

I would be satisfied with #9 Allen/Mayfield, #12 Roquan Smith or Tremaine Edmunds, then still have picks #53, #65, rounds 4-6. This team is built to win on defense and needs help on the offensive line badly.

Maybe, we'll see.  They still need linebackers.  Like two or three of them.

i'm not buying it , but given it's draft diamonds i can see it coming. i think it all depends on the jets. i can't see the giants giving up the no.2 pick. last time they picked this high they got eli.....not to mention barkley will be there.

 

if the jets take allen and mayfield is still there at 4, i think that deal's already been hashed out with cle. i can't see them bending over for allen.

Come on now. Bodine is an average backup just due to his experience. Newhouse I'll give you. 

 

Not sure Bodine is the kind of OL depth I'd sign. Not just because I think he's borderline useless, really don't think he's got any C/G flexibility.

These signings tell me Lamar Jackson will be the pick. With this Right side of the O line the QB will be running for their life.

 

A qb who can digest plays, audible at the line, and throw quickly is the way to help a struggling line. 

 

Getting another runner back there is the exact opposite of what you need. Another ball carrier the oline will have to continue blocking for doesn’t help the line one bit. 

 

Case in point Brady and Manning can’t run for squat. 

 

How people dont don’t understand this is bewildering.

Groy does. Maybe they finally let him compete at G. Been seeing Bodine is a pretty good run blocker. Power is his game..just what Daboll is expected to bring. Could be a good fit.

Versatile

Sean McDermott likes versatile players. This may be one of the reasons that Newhouse was signed by the team. Although most of his playing time has come at offensive tackle, Newhouse played guard due to injuries with the Packers and Giants. One position Newhouse cannot play is running back as evidenced by his attempt to run with a fumble in a game against the Dolphins.

They always do. Somebody always gets injured. They will play at some point.

They cannot all be Bruce Matthews  (he started in 293 of 296 games for ONE team).

Oh for christ sake

 

We expect our backups to be pro bowlers?   Getting backups with vet experience are about as good as its gonna get in this league.

 

 

Exactly, having veteran backups is a great thing on any team. It seems people think every player we sign is here to start.
