TOboy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Seems pretty likely we’re taking an RB this year. Guessing 2 WR’s, a DE, DT, S, CB, RB, and and IOL. That’s 8 picks, allowing Beane to use 2 picks to move up at some point (or 3 if a 3rd is coming back). Of course it can play out differently, just seems likely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyll def take one, but I dont think they are looking for a workhorse. Should be able to find a back that can convert short yardage and provide pass blocking. Everything else is gravy to me. Do you think we should wait until next year for that? Feel like there are a lot of those players available every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 4 minutes ago, LEBills said: What do you think of Lovett as a late round 1 tech? Yea he’s interesting because of his size and arm length. He was injured a lot at Florida State. Was one of their first big time transfers when Norvell got there and there was big hype for him as a guy who could dominate but ended up as a backup DT by the end of his career behind Fiske and Joshua Farmer(who will be a high round pick next year or the year after) If he can stay healthy he can be a solid rotational 1 Tech in the NFL but I have my doubts about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to draft a guy at 60 to be a back up. Oliver coming off a career year and new extension isnt going anywhere. His game doesnt really fit as a 1 tech.

I think he is better than some of these tweeners. He is a pure left tackle and his floor is early second round, but I could totally see him sneaking in the first for whoever misses out on Morgan.

I don’t want Walker at all before the 4th and not crazy about Franklin, either. FWIW, Daniel Jeremiah’s final rankings has Franklin 76th. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver coming off a career year and new extension isnt going anywhere. His game doesnt really fit as a 1 tech. Yes it maybe a back up role but back up 3 tech will get a lot of snaps. They will likely play ~50% of the snaps. Do we have another position where a player @ 60 could get that many snaps (let alone impactful snaps)? Safety, WR, iOL are the only ones I can think of. Safety and iOL they would have to beat a vet for the job which shouldnt be an expectation, and I would argue 70% of snaps at WR is less impactful than 50% snaps at DT because every DT snap matters and not every WR snap matters. In terms of Ed's contract, I like the idea of him and a rookie ending their contracts at similar times so we can presumably have his replacement ready to go when his extension is at an end. I dont think that would be a tough pill to stomach. I would be pumped for obvious passing downs to have Rousseau, Fiske, Ed, AJ. Thats a young group that I think could get after it (especially up the middle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a young group that I think could get after it (especially up the middle). I think you get more out of edge at 60. Same ability to enter the rotation but replacement for Von Miller is more pressing than replacement for Jones. Having the ability to collapse the edge without leveraging the rush lane is more important in the NFL vs college. Trice, Braswell, Issac or Kneeland imo would be more impactful than fiske day 1 and a clearer path to a larger role in 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
