jamesr Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 damn rose colored glassed on my part. Well crap, so we got a third and couple 4ths. if we can get one lineman that is decent its a win. but we really need a decent wr and lineman.We selected Tippy to be a starter as soon as possible. Anyone we get this year will get a longer timeframe, we're really only going to expect a competent backup at first.A 4th round OG who can backup, and potentially develop into a starter in 2-3 years, is perfectly fine IMO.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets would probably love to have him back at a reduced contract I don't understand why the Jets don't pounce on Connor McGovern? I always thought he was a solid backup. Maybe I am just not seeing it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of talented athletic iOL in this class and they've probably only got room for one more iOL on the roster. No harm in giving yourself the flexibility to take one to develop via the draft and signing him after if you don't draft anybody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put a ridiculous line consisting of Smith AVT Tippman Olu Moses Breece will get 2500 all purpose yards behind this line I really like Fashanu as a franchise LT. I hate the idea of him at guard. It takes away from his strengths and exposes his weaknesses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am just not seeing it?He had a bad injury last year as I recall ... maybe they want to get younger / less wear and tear at that backup spot.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origen Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 15 hours ago, JKlecko said: I totally agree, but AVT may not be healthy/ready to start the season, and they may have Smith and Moses on snap counts. I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing the starting 5 play all that much before the start of the season. Yeah, it's leaning into it being the EXACT same scenario it's been for the last 4-5 years where hurt guys sit the training camp and the line never gels. They have Max Mitchel playing LT last year just to make us go insane in the preseason. They need to quit being cute and get the line working for realz yo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am just not seeing it? Youre seeing - it would be an absolute no-brainer given the win-now mode of this team combined with McGovern's attitude with respect to openly saying he wants to help tippman. McG has made $33 million in his career, more then enough for anyone who isnt a complete idiot, so keeping him here another year at $2 million would be an excellent depth move. Maybe they are waiting for him to be healthy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVT tore his Achilles week 5. I'm not worried. I am more concerned about his general ability to stay healthy. Keep him at OG and he will be fine... he is not an OT even though he played well there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk A 4th round guard in this draft could be someone like Christian Mahogany or Zach Zinter both of whom would be awesome value picks and possible day 1 starters. The issue for us is the overall roster and OL numbers. As of today these are locks for the roster: Center - Tip Guard - AVT and Simpson OT - Smith, Moses and Olu Probable for the roster is warren as he is probably good enough to not give up on after 1 year since he has RT potential. So thats 7. Generally a team keeps 8 OL and while I have no problem with 9, we also will likely carry 3 QBs which makes it hard. We need to have a backup center - so if we take another guard in the 4th like Mahogany/zinter, they have to make the team so thats your 8. You would almost have to have them work at center all minicamp and TC to be the backup to Tippman otherwise you sign mcgovern and keep 9 OL.

Tony The Wiz Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I have never seen anything like this in all my time. All these wideouts is unbelievable. Its like the league telling the defense we don't care about you. We will just make more rules against you. I'm sorry but I like defense, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
