My man!

In all honesty tho, I want a top flight OLine..like top 3 unit in the league. I don't want to piece together a middle of the pack unit in FA. I like the prospect of a veteran Center, but I want to draft a kickass tackle and guard

People forget we have 3 first round picks AND Trent Brown on the OL - yes we need to improve some week spots but there's a big difference between having Brandon Fusco starting and burning a top 5 pick on an OL player. There are tons of starting caliber guards and centers in rounds 2/3 and we tend to ignore those players each draft.
Plan A: Trade down for Q. Nelson

Plan B: Saquon Barkley

I agree, we need guards - we can wait to rds two and three. In the top 5, I want a pass rusher or WR.

Imagine if we land a big fish at DE and WR lol. Even one of two is big IMO. Add an OL and i think we can legit target everything else in draft. I hope we try to kill it and spend if worth the squeeze.

Exactly my thought..
Seeing how bad our O line play is I would say Quentin Nelson. Insanely talented. Best Offensive Lineman in the draft.
We need OL badly ,build the oline wall to open running lanes and protect the QB,we don't need Barkley,may want him but don"t need him

No they dont. Its just that Staley is getting ancient, Tomlinson sucks and Garnett is a huge ???? that they shouldnt count on for anything.


Its like claiming that the Cardinals are set at QB for the future because Blaine Gabbert was an early 1st round pick.


AJ Jenkins was a 1st rounder too. Once the draft is over, draft status means diddly squat.


Right now outside of Brown, the entire OL is one giant weak spot.
Lamar Jackson, we need some one that can run away from a pass rush since we don't have guys that can actually pass block.

So forgo trying to improve the pass blocking and draft a QB when we just traded for one ? Makes sense.

Trade down and select Calvin Ridley. And if you need to, trade back up for Billy Price or Frank Ragnow.
A top flight center would go a long way in making the line look better. I think they roll with Garnett and Tomlinson but bring in a solid draft pick behind them, same with OT.

Recipe for disaster. Tomlinson's role should be as a backup at best. If they halfass it and the OL fails to perform, it is going to be 100% on both of them, especially after trying to cut corners with the OL this past offseason.

There is no excuse for this OL to be a marginal unit in anyway next season. They have a ridiculous amount of resources at their disposal to turn this into an OL that is at minimum better than average.
