I think Baun is Clay Matthews light. We have Lawson sitting here already

I don't get their approach to the OLine but I haven't for a couple years.  48 sacks last year and a rookie QB that they can't let get beat to a pulp in his first year.

First round,sure, we could've gotten an ol starter. That's about it. It's highly unlikely we would've gotten a starter outside the first, and definitely not the second. We pick up ol in the fourth, they most likely aren't contributing for a couple seasons.

Just adding more bodies/prospects to our weakest position group should create competition which will make our current guys better and best case scenario we find a gem that beats out a vet.

Cushenberry gone.

Doubtful. Guy didn’t have a single drop in 2019. And it’s a weak TE class.

I think the Raiders are going to run a 1 QB/3 OL/6 WR/1 RB offense.

Just constantly rotate which WRs are eligible and ineligible every down and hope the opposing defense can't keep up with who is and isn't that play.

They are adding a 1st rd left tackle, and a new tackle on the right side as well. We have a good center. Plus we picked up a guard or 2 along the way didn't we?

Williams and Hopkins are the only ones who should've been penciled in as starters, but Turner loves Hart and Jordan so it seems like they're going to start. XSF shouldn't be a starter, but I guess they only watched his tape from last season and no other season.


RE: ***Official 2020 NFL Draft Thread*** - Joelist - 04-24-2020

I suspect their plan is Sample will be getting more snaps and doing more blocking. OL likely is

LT - Williams
LG - Jordan
C - Hopkins
RG - Filo
RT - Johnson
TE - Sample

Single back and 3 WR.


RE: ***Official 2020 NFL Draft Thread*** - Nebuchadnezzar - 04-24-2020

I wanted Cushenberry to fall to the Bengals at the top of the fourth.

He could have played Guard and take over for Trey when he leaves or retires at Center if Price doesn't get it together.

Mike Tyson Mystewy. Now that was funny.

How many of those were given up by the 4 different guys we started at LT though? They’re obviously banking on Jonah and XSF improving the OL.

A rookie LT and the new RT if he beats out Hart is a guy we picked up on waivers in the middle of the season.  Might work out.  Didn't last year and they can't let Burrow get beat up.

John Simpson come to Cincinnati

The current OL looks like this:

Jonah Williams
Michael Jordan
Trey Hopkins
Xavier Su'a-Filo
Bobby Hart

That's not one to feel good about. It needs help.

Do the math.. you have 5 positions to fill on the line.. there are not enough picks to just have starters in first 3 rounds.. there are teams that have 4th rounders starting year 1 and year 2.. 
We actually had a bigger need at LB than Line.. especially now that are going to a 3/4... I wanted to wait on WR but we did pick one of the ones that fit us well especially if AJ is gone after this year....
Excellent pick with Wilson in the 3rd...
