T Depth, but good to have depth. OT and OG still in play IMO.

This certainly gives them the flexibility to not want to reach for one.  I’m sure they will if the right guy is there 

 

That certainly seems to be their MO, and I love it!

Interesting that Waddle played for Johnson at DET and Feliciano played for OAK when Johnson was TE coach.  Familiarity with how these guys prepare , practice and play must be a factor in signing.  And McD and BB must value input by position coach.

Do you think we draft one still?

 

It feels like they are positioning themselves away from this as a reach move early in the draft.

 

Still see RT or G depth later in the draft.

This is looking more and more like that first pick is either going to be a DT or a TE to me.......

 

If they take a OT its gonna be a guy later.....and are choosing to use free agency to retool this OL with veteran guys.....Ty is probably our starter this year and honestly deserves that shot......

 

Probably looking at

 

Dawkins - LT

Teller- LG

Morse - C

Spencer Long - RG

Ty - RT

 

A veteran OL to go in front of our young QB.......
