So what do we do in the 2018 draft now we have Jimmy G?

WR/Pass Rusher please. We can go OL in 2nd(OG) . Get a C in FA. Think you gotta go pass rusher cause Lawrence/Ansah probs stay put. FA WR class is solid.

Pick top qb and trade for top wr
Scot Mccloughan threw up some possibles.

ANYWHERE on the O-Line


OT Mike McGlinchey Notre Dame
OT Conner Williams Texas
OG Quenton Nelson Notre Dame

We've seen how an offensive line can make or break a young QB. Using Dallas as the template and loading up on the OL with top draft picks builds a solid foundation. It is also much cheaper than signing free agents that are more than likely to have seen their peak years pass early in the contract.

I'd like to get either of those two tackles plus Nelson. If we're going to be investing heavily in a QB we have to make sure he doesn't get killed.
High pick LT to transit from Staley. Get a G mid round.

Another LB, maybe a safety too

Draft forum has less traffic in season but greatly increases once the season concludes.

This where I am, if we can't sort it out with some real quality in FA then we need to trade down and get Olinemen in the draft.

I see you moved it already.

This thread will be dead by then, I wanted a more general discussion on the ramifications of Jimmy G.

Edit: The thread also includes FA, would you feel better with it in the main forum if I had just said off-season?

I really like the potential OL in the draft this year.

Very hard to predict who makes that step up though, and O-Linesman especially often need time to develop.

Would like to pick up at least one quality FA and one top OL prospect in the first 2 rounds of the draft.

disagree on prioritizing a safety
If there's a Trent Williams caliber left tackle that tops the list but I wouldn't take a McGlinchey who projects more as a right tackle. Otherwise Barkley is fine or we could go safety with Fitzpatrick. Trade down should always be looked at if we're in the top 5.
I don't see a top tackle in the draft this year but some real quality G/C prospects.
I'm tirrrrrrred of having a crappy offense an then the defense has to be on the field the whole game.
