Mikie2times Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) My, my, aren't we a sensitive group. Don't know anything about this guy but it's not exactly contrarian to think a rookie won't start with the type of depth we have on the OL this year. Doesn't mean his fate is doomed if that's the case. Everybody hated the Allen pick. Everybody loved the Ford pick. Show me a TV or Radio personality that gets it right more often than the general public and it might start to matter a bit. If one exists I don't think it's Mr. Brown.

I mean we really don't have any great Ts on the team besides those two, and I wouldn't call either great. I'd say that they're both above average, but not by much. Either way, Ford's more likely to start at G, dont' you think? I see Ford starting at RT by the Bengals game. I don't see him working in at G, I thought he was a solid OT prospect.

And we care about his football predictions why?https://www.rochesterfirst.com/contact/bios/thad-brown/211085407 With a good OL, it's quite common for a rookie OLman to spend a year learning the NFL game and pursuing NFL level strength and conditioning. We do have competition on the OL, but if Ford doesn't start this year, it doesn't mean he's a crap pick either. I see it as a good sign that we aren’t so desperate that he’s a lock to start. He may not start week one, but I’d bet he will by the end of the year. Not liking the pick in the 2nd is.........unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's beaten proven players in the NFL, rookie should be a cake walk. Absolutely correct but speed rushers may also prove to be a weakness in Ford's game at this level of play. I have some concerns about that TBH. I think he has a future as a starter on an NFL line (though maybe not immediately). Right now with experience I see him developing into a quality guard. That would certainly justify the pick. Good guards are hard to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I think Ford will eventually be a decent, maybe, very good player. But if he doesn't start, it is not necessarily a bad thing. As a matter of fact, right now his odds of starting are probably less than 50%. But that in no way implies he's a bust or poor pick. If the FA pick-ups are doing their job, there will be no need to rush Ford. If Nsehke plays to the level of his signing money, he should be the starter. I hope he is, and I hope it gives Ford time to develop, or, maybe Ford ends up being the starting right guard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By chance Ford fell to Bills. let him develop behind some pros. btw i think he will find his way on the field at some point this season. if only in packages.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Brown may have simply gotten what he wanted: attention. Or he may be suggesting that a rookie with major upside doesn't necessarily have to start, especially if you have experienced depth. In fact it may be beneficial to them not to start immediately. Ask Steve Young. We shall see what we shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, Ronin said: It's pretty unlikely that Ford doesn't end up starting any games he's healthy for. To start, our OL-men otherwise really aren't much better than average. Secondly, of the 6 OL-men drafted last season, four started all 16 games, one started 10, Price on Cincy, but I think he missed those 6 due to injury, and Isaiah Wynn, whom I would have drafted last year, was injured before the season began. I didn't like the pick only because Risner was still there, with experience playing C, but otherwise he seems like a solid OL-man. IMO Ford's going to have a better career than Oliver. We could have had Wynn, Hilliard, Risner, and Lock. IMO that OL along with Dawkins and Morse (assuming he could stay healthy) would have benefitted Allen something fierce. Morse may be the best C in the NFL. Ford>Oliver would be impressive because I think Oliver is going to look good in a gold jacket.

I like the pick, but Nsekhe probably has a leg up in the competition just based on experience alone. We all want Ford to win the competition at RT and start, and I think most fans assume he will, but Brown was asked for a bold prediction and he gave one. I agree, but going farther saying that he didn't like the pick at all just a little baffeling. It is hard to argue against the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Not sure that is a bold prediction? With the depth we have for the 1st time I can remember in 20 years I have zero problems with our rookie lineman learning the trade from some vets. Not liking the pick in the 2nd rd for a player that should have went in the 1st is the only thing bold or F'ing stupid here.

BillsFan17 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Its entirely possible Ford doesnt start right away, its entirely possible Ford doesnt see much time at all. However, that to me will be indicative of the talent ahead of him, and not so much predicated on his abilities. There were some that thought Ford was among the best OTs in the entire class. Hard to imagine the kid just goes belly up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
