Is he really going that high though? I’ve seen it all over could be had in 2nd rd. Not at 59. But a trade down maybe 1 minute ago, LyndonvilleBill said: Wasn't Doyle or Brown a TE as well.

I did a book report on that two years in a row. It’s hard for me to tell much based on highlights because, well, they are just highlights. Guys can also look good, but I don’t really know what the best scheme fits are. I see OT ranked in different ways, and I have no idea who would be the best fit, if we even go that way. Yes, don't watch highlights. They tell you nothing. Watch condensed games or stuff like Tennessee OL vs Alabama Defense and other various breakdowns: 1 hour ago, Dr. Who said: I do not recollect Henry and the Clubhouse. My favorite childhood text is Alexander and the Magic Mouse but the illustrations by Phillipe Fix are what make the book special. Hey! Take off the wire-rimmed glasses and step away from the lectern... or take it to the Arts, Music and Literature forum. I come here to breathe from my mouth and groom my knuckle hairs (by scraping them on the ground). 5 minutes ago, mrags said: Yeah I posted that earlier. Originally a TE. Then he got a shot at RT first. Was a year or two before he became LT And before that he was destroying opponents on the kick coverage team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky finger Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 6 hours ago, mrags said: Well. We agree on that. Assuming we have a good RG next to him. I’m not 100% on what they plan on doing. Personally, I’d rather take one of the top Guards in the draft than a tackle. Or if you managed to get Wright, or Dewand Jones. Or someone dominant at LT and move Dawkins at LG and I firmly believe you would have upgraded 2 spots on the OL with one being drafted. I'd really like to see additions at both OT and OG in this draft. Perfect world, the additions of Edwards and McGovern are "all that". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Well if it’s a tackle you want and Wright is off the Board Matthew Bergeron, my home boy, is going to be very good imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaneBandit Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Wright is a decent prospect, but in no universe whatsoever would he require a trade up in the first round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) 9 hours ago, mrags said: I see it every week we play that Dawkins isn’t that good at LT. So I guess we’ll just have to figure something out. Dawkins is very good. Not elite but very good. We have to figure some things out, but not at LT. The question is whether and how deeply they believe in Brown at RT. My sense is that they believe in him deeply enough that they don't want to draft a high-rounder to compete with him. But I could definitely be wrong about that. EDIT: I'm also generally a big fan of getting more picks.

Sierra Foothills Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 There's no question an argument could be made for taking a different position at pick 27 BUT OT is a sneaky need and a great value as it's one of the premium positions. For the sake of discussion they draft Wright. Now he competes with Brown... the position will probably be improved over last year regardless of who wins. The loser of the competition is now our swing tackle. Getting reps at LOT is never a bad thing especially with possible injuries and Dawkins' possible departure after 2024. OR, the loser cross trains at guard. There's a possibility that the loser of Wright vs Brown will be a better guard than anyone else we have. Regardless of how the puzzle pieces fall, the idea of Josh Allen having an excellent O-line is one almost probably scenario of drafting Wright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
