But I think if they don't select an offensive tackle in round two, they would have to hope to draft one of those two guys.  One thing is for certain the offensive line will not be fixed this year.

If he sucks then he can be "Supershittyexpeladocious!"

We have to go LB, but we only have 2 OT's on the roster and looks like we won't be finding our LT of the future with that pick, as their will be good ones there that won't be there by the time we select in the 2nd round. Just not enough picks to fix the roster, and I think they know this is year one of a 16 year plan. They build through the draft, but don't do a good job of stockpiling picks.

Burfict just got picked up.. so there is a bum over the last two years that is still playing.. cut Virgil or Brown, they would be picked up easy.  Then you have Jefferson who you can;t pass judgement yet only going into his 2nd year. 

Yes we need LB, draft is where we are going for them.. I see two picked in first 5 rounds... 

(03-24-2019, 10:29 AM)THE PISTONS Wrote: Brown is definitely a starter in the league. I think the question on him is if can be adequate in pass coverage. As a run stuffer, he's pretty good.

Vigil improved last year. As your 3rd best LB, he's ok. If he's your 1st or 2nd best...you're in trouble.

We still need that #1 guy though to make the group come together. At this point, White seems like the best solution. But, I don't know if the Bengals will draft a LB at 11.
