DrDawkinstein Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) AWESOME!!! Rams OL sucked last year, largely because they lost Edwards early in the season. The previous year, he played 100% of the Offensive snaps and they won a Super Bowl. With Kromer as OL coach too.

K-9 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Unless a blue chip offensive player falls to us or McBeane feels one is worth trading up for, the board should brace itself for another first round pick of a defensive player. My guess would be DT, but McD loves his MLBs, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will ever draft a center-only prospect. McGovern is the only projected starter who was and is a pure G/C. Even their depth guys were tackles. Dawkins, Bates, Morse, Doyle, Ryan Van Denmark, Van Roten were LTs, Edwards, Brown, Mancz, Hart and Boettger were Rts. They like tackles who move inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented enough to push Bates for his spot and provides us excellent IOL depth with Boettger. How do we guarantee no more concussions?

Well they also lost the NFL man of the year and starting LT, which might have been more impactful. That said, I didn’t realize he played every snap on that SB winning team. Pretty cool depth add. Anyone know if he’s better on the left or right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely can't but the Bills' track record with Mitch Morse is pretty good. We would have never let Edwards return to play the way the Rams did They Tua'd him.

We're not signing "big name OG's" with big salaries (we can't afford it....), but it at least gives competition at the position, and eases the "draft need" at OG just a little. Still a draft need though... 34 minutes ago, Yantha said: Backup OC might be a bigger draft need than backup OG now. So who are you cutting? They now have inside Morse, Bates, McGovern, Ike B, & Edwards. Quez even played some guard last season. That's 5, normally all a team carries and have 3 guys who can play center. Unless it's a sixth or seventh round draft pick can get away with cutting him and moving him to PS, anything higher, they risk another team grabbing him. To me it doesn't make much sense to draft or sign guys in the spring, play them signing bonus to then turn around and cut. I know they did it last year with Howard, but not good use of money.

Had a low 2nd on him from memory. Surprised that the Rams went straight to guard with him but he has generally played well there. If the money is right I like this pick up the best of all the moves so far I think. Sure he may not return to form but if he does he is a nice player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 He will vie for starting RG and can back up both OG spots. Like to see them test him as RT back up. This is a solid Beane signing.

Logic Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 McGovern and Edwards are both starting level guards. I think they're both better than the usual level of IOL that Beane signs at this time of year. I think they're both better than Spencer Long, Greg Mancz, etc. I like it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a solid Beane signing. The O line looks better than last seasons version. The depth of the O-line last year was pretty awful, Queese was the best backup on the o-line by a mile, and while I don't think Queese is a bad backup his being the best backup shows a strong lack of depth at the unit. Edwards and Queese being the backups are a nice place to start depth-wise. Ideally, I would like Beane to draft two O-line players one at RT and one at Center and sign another "kick the tires vet". Grabbing an heir apparent for Mitch and short-term depth at center can be achieved in rounds 3-5 while in round 2 grabbing a tackle to compete with Brown and add depth would be nice. That would give the Bills Edwards, Queese and two rookies off the bench add one more decent vet to go along with Ike as camp competition and I think you have a better deeper O-line unit.
