Goodwin didnt do much at buffalo, breida was undrafted, and he finds an undrafted QB in Mullens. I think with that record- Kyle deserves a bit of benefit of the doubt.

They also drafted McGlinchey and Pettis last year, plus have overhauled the defense for the most part. No one is saying Beavers is an all star, but he adds depth, you can't have all pros/pro bowlers at every spot.

The zone run philosophy is an interesting one. It is basically that the whole is greater the sum of its parts. A lot of what the zone run is, is timing and coordination and intelligence and awareness and being on the same page.

A lot of the folks here are still thinking we are still a power gap blocking team and see Beavers as a sub-par player, when if he has good athleticism and agility plus enough intelligence to know what everybody else is doing -- that might actually make him a good depth player and a decent stop gap player if a starter gets dinged.

You are spot on, Giedi.

From his draft profile

"Beavers is very athletic with the feet to play left tackle, but has the talent and traits to play all over the offensive line with more technique work. While he clearly has some power and twitch in his hips, he could use a year in an NFL weight room to strengthen his core and upper body. Beavers is an eventual NFL starter who is likely to be targeted by teams who covet tackles who can excel in space."

Kyle's type

Good get - shows they're on their toes.

Great points from both of you.

and he also has done jack in his nfl career. another backup,. depth. some make it sound like we have a bunch of all stars on the line and all we need is depth. if they were really on their toes they would have got someone better in the draft than this scrub. but i forgot.. everything kyle and lynch does is brilliant

He's very young and has talent. He just couldn't crack the OL at Minnesota, Seattle and the Bears. He'll be given an opportunity here...

Willie or won't he be worth it?

OG triple OG, triple triple Willie Beaver

cc, I think you're being a little too hard on the Beavers.

I want this guy to be a 10 year starter just from his name alone.

Ok, it's a start. I said we would get some OG cap cuts, maybe even two OGs, maybe an OT. Getting a guy off waivers isn't really a cap cut in the sense i was thinking. I was thinking of a starter, who had a yr left or so and wanted a new 3 yr deal at $$$millions, and his team just wouldn't budge. With Beavers, this is just getting a guy off waivers , not a cap cut...at least not in the sense i had envisioned.

I am hoping we still get one or two OGs that are starters...Beavers wasn't... and we pick them up. Still and all, it is an OL , and we welcome all comers. But he has to be better than a backup to stay. We need starter OG types. If he can produce in a new environment, fantastic. I hope it isn't as it looks, an OL who just wasn't getting playing time. Still glad to have him tryout.

AB, if you are out there, how do we handle this $$ wise? Does he get a conditional contract or is it something different...eg, guaranteed x amount of $$?

I'm holding out hope for a cap casualty at tackle and guard as well. A safety and corner would be nice too, but being realistic, the team see OL as a bigger weakness (I don't blame them) and they seemingly want to assess how their DBs perform with an actual pass rush.

where did i say pro bowlers, this again.. why is it. when some of us want a upgrade we get those words put into our mouths.. in case you have not noticed we have one guy worthy of pro bowl status on the line who is nearing the end. a nice second year guy and thats it. you make it sound like we DO have all pro guys at every spot.. and all we need to do is draft for depth. sad
