One of the reasons I'm for going this route is because I don't see them releasing Collins. I feel like they're going to hang onto him for at least another year, even if he has to start out on IR. Eluemunor gives you a very solid pass protector to hold down RT until whenever he comes back, and if Collins can comes back...then you have Eluemunor as a backup at RT and both G spots, or maybe Collins is in that role if Eluemunor is playing well enough.
I want as much depth and versatility as possible on the line. I don't want to see any more Adeniji - Scharping level insurance policies, because we saw what happens when you have to cash those in.
Just my opinions though...it'll be interesting to see what route they do go.
I like your scenario the best honestly Holic. We need a good pass protector at RT and that is what Eluemunor would provide.
I do like the McGary thought in the run game but he isn't as good of a pass protector as Eluemunor regardless of the money
both will command. Same with Fleming as he would add depth, nothing wrong with that, we need it on the OL. Still don't hate
Scharping, thought he played well against the Bills but he was destroyed by the Chiefs, happens. Adeniji though has cost us big
time 2 years in a row in either the Playoffs or in the Super Bowl.
