He's ok with speed guys, but does not seem to have the anchor against rushers coming through him. I don't expect that to improve with his kneecaps popping out of place. THAT does not translate into being able to switch to guard. Carman needs to improve against speed guys, and I think with some offseason work he could do that. Johnah is going to be here next year, whether he can switch sides, or becomes an expensive backup, but he'll be here. People wanting to trade him have to realize every other team in the NFL watched him struggle when healthy this year, and have access to his injury reports.
Yeah Jonah will be here, we really need to find out why he regressed this year. If he was playing hurt or is being sloppy in technique this late it needs addresed. His skill set is more of a LT and Carman more of a RT, but you worry about moving JC again since he played decent the last few games at his position from college.
If I'm looking at this correctly, Collins saves 3.9M if cut. He's better than what they get on the open market for that price, but he hopefully he recovers well. I think the position still needs long term clarity, so they likely take a pick by the 4th. You could be looking at:
LT Williams/Rookie by 4th
LG Volmer/cut vet around 2M
C Karras/Hill
RG Cappa/Adeniji
RT Carman/Collins/Smith
Or Carman and Williams swap
We just have to get healthy. Collins and Williams aren't what we thought we'd have but they both be back.
