At first I read that backwards and was thinking 3 pressures in 9 playoff games is incredible- what's wrong with that? lol. With that said, yeah, you can't hide guys. I think we are headed in the right direction, but we aren't there yet. Williams/Banks/Brendel/Burford/McGlinchey with the potential of Moore or Brunskill stepping in at RT has some possibilities. I don't expect it to look right until those guys get half a season under their belts. I'm just hoping McKivitz never sees the field.
i still like Poe ,so add him to that list. That said i would like to see us snag 3 OLs like we did recently , and bring them in, all probably Rds 5,6, 7. OLs just need a yr, some 2-3 to get it all together. You draft an OL in the top 10 or even 15 picks ….that's a different story. Those guys should start right out of the box. But late rounders…being patient pays off if the talent is there, albeit in need of coaching.
Id love to draft 3, but my issue is that they won't all make the team abd risk being taken by someone else.
Assuming we resign McKivitz, Brendel, and Brunskill (as they should), 2023 looks like Williams/Banks/Brendel/Burford/McKivitz, with Brunskill, Poe, and Zakelj. That leaves for one more guy at most. It seems we have a lot of relatively young guys. Hoping they take they leap so we can be top 10 in both run blocking and pass protecting.
