Popular Post BCJet Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2020 I know most of the bard prefers Brandon Sherff, likely due to his draft pedigree as opposed to his actual play, but the best fit to improve our OL is Graham Glasgow from the Lions. First off, Glasgow is very durable, never having missed a game and very versatile, playing LG, center and this past year RG. Position flexibility is huge with the amount of injuries in the league and having him be able to start at RG and also be a good fill in at center is very important. The other reason why he is an ideal fit as a free agent is that he actually WANTS to leave the Lions as he is upset that he wasn’t extended. Plus he will be hitting FA at a relatively young age (turns 28 in July). Being a former walk-on at Michigan he’s got an excellent work ethic and attitude. Seems like a great fit for position, talent and attitude. 21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ElBarrioJets Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2020 Totally agree. Sign Beach and Lewis. Sign Glasgow and Conklin. Give Harrison a real shot. But draft competition/depth for all of them. Fact is, we basically have to sign our entire O-line this year. So grab the top playmaker in R1, then O-Line the next day. 1st Round: WR 2nd Round: OT 3rd Round: OC 3rd Round: OG 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you ignored the caveat that I'd be cool with 2nd and 3rd tier FA's who aren't signed in the early waves of free agency, which would hopefully protect our ability to earn a compensatory pick for Robby and our other UFA's that we elect to let go. Glasgow might just fall into that camp. He's a former late 3rd round pick (# 95 overall) on a team that isn't exactly a perennial contender. Just the kind of under-the-radar signing that makes a ton of sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 How do we think Jordan Jenkins feels about not being extended? What do we think the likelihood of signing our own FAs when we have not extended them? JD must be planning a complete overhaul. Glasgow would be perfect to add to the Jets. The real question will be how much he costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Scherff has made the pro bowl 3 out of his 5 years in the NFL. Glasgow 0 in 4. Maybe it's not draft position causing people to want Scherff more. I want Scherff more because he's better. Might it be a better cost/benefit to sign Glasgow over Scherff? Maybe.

Excellent point. I honestly wonder what this coaching staff thinks of Edoga. If he can be a solid RT, that solves a lot of issues moving forward. And any of these guys... Braden, McDermott...if any can at least be a backup, that's a win for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting beat due to physical limitations, which was the case with Edoga isn’t a huge deal for a rookie (see Brick). What is a big deal is his attitude and work ethic in the building. JD needs to determine if he has shed his “lazy” reputation from college to be a guy who will put in the time to get stronger and more technically sound. If he is, then we have a future starter at one of the tackle spots. If he isn’t, then hopefully we have a swing tackle for 3 more years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetPotato Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 He's going to get $9 million per year. He's an ok player. That's an overpay any way you slice it. This is just another problem with never drafting OL. You put yourself in a desperate situation to give too much money to expendable players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 certainly sounds like a guy who should be looked at. getting a guard in free agency means they don't have to use a decent draft pick on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
