Offensive tackle Cam Robinson went to the Jaguars & Tom Coughlin was likely behind that pick which is a good sign for Robinson. I think he is the starting Left tackle and that looks like a solid move to possibly Redo. Zimmer got Center Pat Elflein and he could easily be an upgrade over Bodine.
Lawson & Willis have been fine picks.
Mixon would be the odd man out in your scenario as I see it.
I fear that John Ross will provide Marvin Jones type production, which isn't bad but not what a #9 overall pick in round one should garnish.
Hopefully Ross can surprise me to the upside and stay healthy.
There are no right and wrong answers here to me. Just food for thought. Each move has Pros and Cons with say Deshaun Watson or Ross or any other move. Risks and possible rewards of differing types.
Your scenario would have definitely helped reduce the effects of losing Whitworth and Zeitler by having more O-line competition & likely 2 starters.
I think Mike Brown saw it as having already invested a 1st rounder in Cedric and a 2nd in Fisher, then expecting the Coaches to make his investment pay off. Plus having the O-line coach assure him it will pay off.
They are All In on who they have now with an Uphill climb to make.
Yes. I think in my scenario it turns into either Elflein or Robinson because there was no way to know that Elflein would fall.
We may have been able to get Mixon in the 3rd Round. He had 2nd Round talent, but the character issue was a big PR hit that a lot of teams wouldn't take.
So it could have been Foster/Elflein or Robinson/Mixon/Lawson.
