Pouncey was a proven center and look how that turned out... We also had some fail draft picks as well, Max Tuerk in the 3rd for example. What do we do then? Oh, don't stop with Max Tuerk in the 3rd... please throw in Trey Pipkins, Dan Feeney, and Chris Watt also. How about drafted OL in general...? DJ Fluker, Chris Watt, Donovan Clark, Max Tuerk, Sam Tevi, Dan Feeney, Forrest Lamp, Scott Quessenbury, and Trey Pipkins... LOL! What was I thinking...? Pick up a proven center...? Oh hell no... we should draft one! Lol how could I forget about Chris Watt!! It is insane how bad TT is at drafting oline, like really bad.

Oh hell no... we should draft one! Your list highlights a consistent failure in the Bolts' system, and one that should generate an extremely critical review of their internal process. Unless it is simple, such as a single person overriding the entire scouting systems production and making the pick as he sees it best, then finding the fix is going to be challenging. Of that list, only Lamp would qualify as a player reasonably projected to become a starter, but then that injury..... The rest are picks based in 'potential' in my view, which is not bad necessarily, but clearly has not worked for various reasons. In the end, it is well past time they invest 1st and 2nd round picks in their OL......

Oh hell no... we should draft one! You make a good point for sure. Some of the problem has to be playing these guys in positions they didn’t play in college. Oh, you like Lamp who played OT in college? Let’s draft him and move him to OG. Same with Feeney and Fluker etc. I wouldn’t classify Fluker or Lamp as complete wastes as Lamp has been fairly good this season a d Fluker has made a career at OG. Tevi was a very late round pick and has been moved around but has been ok this season. I think they need an anchor at center. That’s an undervalued position on OL and when our OL has been good there’s been a consistent guy at that position. It would also allow Feeney to get back to a more natural position. Trai Turner has been good when he hasn’t been hurt so I would keep him as well. I think we need a legit center and OT this off season |

Nothing wrong at all with targeting OC-FA/Draft.

When I get fixated on something, it becomes ever true, ever needed, we would do best to do it.
RB1. Have to have an RB1. Stay with the genius of this...........
RB1 allows greater creativity with Ekeler. When RB1 is hurt, or needs a breather---we merely start Ekeler.
If we head towards post-season, RB1 injury is not the end of the world because we have Ekeler. Something happens to Ekeler, we still have RB1.
TT, get me RB1. That is all.

I don't do legwork. Villagers spoon feed me drafts and Free Agents.

It is as natural as breathing to build around a star QB.
I get aroused when I think about Justin Herbert, but maybe that is better left for another post............
YOU BUILD around a young star QB. Its automatic stuff in the NFL.
Our great offseason awaits us.
