Popular Post Untouchable Posted November 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2019 Castonzo is going nowhere The guy is arguably a Top 5 LT in the league, is in his prime, and the Colts have oodles of cap space. Scherff is the guy who could very well hit the market and you throw the bank at him. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since they give such attention to the o-line. Quenton Nelson, etc... I gonna get flamed for saying this, but Beachum is not half bad if he has a decent guard next to him. It has been the interior of the line that is causing most of the problems. Remember how much Better Brick started looking when Faneca showed up ??? If you put a decent guard and center on that line, Beachum would be a guy you could go with *IF* you whiff in FA and there is no top notch LT available in the draft.

Beerfish Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Scherff was getting abused badly in a game i watched a week or so ago. We will have to watch him closely in this upcoming game. Guys that were big targets in recent years like norwall and paradis got big deals and have done poorly from reports. Fa oline is very risky. What we need is acquire another high pick or two so we can go heavy into the oline and still be able to take a weapon wr or olb pass rusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding good FA OL that free up from their existing teams is an art, not a science. You have to find someone with the character and motivation to keep grinding. Like a Kevin Mawae or Alan Faneca. Beachum has been decent and decent value. No complaints for him. Even James Carpenter had a few good years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree fully. If not Thomas make it Jeudy. In the very unlikely event that both Thomas and Chase Young are available, I'd say take Young and give Beachum a short contract. Use rounds 5 and after to pick-up a guard or two. I think it would be a better overall team value to take Young over Thomas given that Beachum can do a fair job until a franchise LT becomes available. Just want to add. All of this is moot unless the Johnsons relinquish the team to Douglas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the guys in oline who make it to fa are fools gold No offense but this couldnt be further from the truth. We've seen numerous top rated OL in the past few years. Just this year was a huge shuffle of OL around the league; Paradis, Brown, Saffold, Morse, Veldheer, James, Turner, Easton, Brown, Kline. And there were a few trades. If you keep going back you see names like Norwell, Solder, Richburg, Sitton, Pouncy, Whitworth, Lang, Warford, etc. and if I keep going, there are even more names. I'd argue, of any position, top OL talent hits the market more than any other position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, there are always gonna be the leading edge rushers that are on a heater. The good news is, you can see an explosive guy like MG coming long before kickoff. Is your OC taking account of this and planning accordingly ??? You can do a bunch of things to get by in a game against a hot edge rusher even if your tackle isn't Anthony Munoz. Question is, does Gase have the brain power or is he too busy jamming square pegs into round holes ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply disagreeing with a comment and sharing why/how it's an inaccurate statement. They hit the market, every year, more so than any other position.

Trent Brown has battle numerous injuries this year, but when he’s in there he one of the best Rt’s in the game. ( thanks to trade of Osemele - they were able to target him day one in Fa .The Raiders need a healthy Trent Brown down the stretch . They were beating the chiefs 10-0 when he went out with an injury . Richie Incognito - another Fa o lineman been a big addition to their offense line. C Rodney Hudson was also a Fa addition a couple years earlier . You have to do both build through the draft Lt K Miller( 1st round pick) , Rg Gabe Jackson ( third) , Swing Tackle D Sharpe ( 4th) Brandon Parker ( Third round- eventually will be guard). Center Andre James - undrafted Fa who was a Lt, and Rt in college. Will be Hudson eventually replacement at center), and in Fa ( Rt Trent Brown, C R Hudson, and Richie Incognito. G Denzel Good they picked up on waivers - been a God send coming from the Colts who offense line coach cut him last year because he went to a funeral.

I think we have to re-sign Beechum, at least on a 1 year deal. He’s not good, but he’s not bad. You see how much more Sam had looked with him back there. I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on Conklin. Regardless of which vet we’ll re-sign or sign, we’ll have to draft some LT, even if just for depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachum is paid like a mid-tier LT, and he has performed like a mid-tier LT. Solid player on a solid contract. If you want an elite guy, you either have to find one in the draft or pay a FA much more than the $8M per year average the Jets gave Beachum in his deal.

TheClashFan Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Generally, the only two OL spots a team should overpay for are LT and C. However, the Jets need to revamp the entire line, so if JD is committed to drafting stud LT and C prospects in the first 2-3 rounds, he absolutely should be willing to overpay for a G or RT. We have to hope that someone, maybe Edoga, emerges in this second half to lock down a starting spot for next year. The rest of the guys are backups at best., though one may end up starting next year. If Edoga improves enough to be just a decent RT for next year, that would be huge. Also, by all means draft another OL in the round 4-6 range as a developmental guy. Draft 3 young guys (2 as starters), sign one stud free agent, and then sign or resign depth guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
