Top 10 offensive linemen FAs

[TBird]

Sure hope Ozzie can sign KO and he said he wants to but with the CAP

ceiling vs the bidding, who knows. KO will be in demand.

 

Here's a list of some others Oz might be able to get. He'll have to let

the market play itself out.

 

I'd hate to use a #1 draft pick on Staley if we can get one of these. Then

we can concentrate on getting a playmaker. I thought Incognito was out

of football.

Good article. I don't know if we could afford any of them but the list is impressive.

 

And I agree it would be best to take a playmaker with the 6th pick in the draft if one is there. If not we either take the tackle or trade down for more picks. How deep is this draft supposed to be in talent, anybody heard?

[TBird]

From what I hear, this draft isn't that deep, same with

Elam's class and a couple of others in recent years. None of

the 4 safeties drafted in the first round in Elam's class did well.

 

We need 3 impact players at CB, pass rusher and WR. We should

get at least the CB or WR but not all 3 in this class. Ozzie is gonna

have to sign somebody somewhere and wait til next year to get

the rest unless he can find a gem at the bottom as he often has

like AD.

 

I read where we could get a CB in the 2d round if Ramsey and Hargreaves are both

gone and Ozzie opts for Treadwell. He's not supposed to be that

high as of now but will climb after the combines and

everyone sees his 40 times. Dallas was saying they

want a premier WR and someone else after originally saying they

wanted the QB from Memphis for Romeo to groom. NObody in their

organization knows which is why they

haven't been to the SB in 20 yrs.

 

Anyway, we do know that the Bosa will go first followed by the

2 QBs and then Tunsel the best LT in the draft and either Hargreaves

and Ramsey. So that leaves either Hargreaves or Ramsey for Ravens.

 

That would leave Treadwell for us unless Dallas drafts him ahead

of us.

Walter Football is where I read this is a weaker class and

they have Bosa going to #4 with Tunsil the LT as the first pick

followed by the 2 QBs and then a D-guy for Dallas.

 

Jones just said on nfl.com we dont have to take a QB. He's been

talking WR.

 

This mock has Ravens drafting Treadwell and leaving Hargreaves

on the board after Jags draft Ramsey.

 

But it would just be like Jerry to draft Treadwell even if he's not valued

as top 4 just to stick it to Ozzie like he did with DEZ but Oz didn't

want DEZ anyway. Bellicheat called Oz and said we're on the clock and

Jerry is on the phone. They want to trade up for DEZ. I'll give you first

shot pal. Oz said thanks but no thanks so Dallas got DEZ.

 

Ravens fans were pissed that Dallas stole him but Ozzie could have had

him by trading up but he knew what happened the last time he traded

with NE in the first round and took Boller and with the Ravens pick the

following year NE got Wilfork, one of the best pass rushers in history

but Ozzie still got Suggs in that draft.

 

Ozzie never wanted DEZ but you know Oz and receivers. He could

have had him.

 

Back to the draft, it seems like Bosa is dropping already. I also read where

one team that drafts well says he's a second round pick. Several teams

are hedging on him already.

Yeah, well the players' rankings will be on a roller-coaster until April so right now it's hard to tell who's going to take what, when. But I will say if this draft is weak as T suggests, trading down might not be the best strategy.

 

And it would take 2-3 years to assemble a highly competitive team if it is a weak one.

Interesting article on the trade-down option...

This is way to early to even discuss the draft. That should come

after the combines and you have a better idea but for two old

guys with nothing better to do, what the hell.

 

It's fun.

Both Kiper and McShay have Ramsey going to Jags just above us but Hargreave would

be there. Kiper has us drafting Staley the LT out of Notre Dam but only if KO is gone.

If not it's Treadwell but Oz would have to trade down to get him at this point but Dallas

wants a WR now according to Jones.

I'd hold all cards til the draft we have in the cross hairs either Ramsey or Treadwell, my ESPN radio guys talk about the jags alot, jags so far are in our way for the Ramsey pick, and just like clockwork, leaveland will screw up the 2nd pick. Just 3 weeks ago hue Jackson stated he's ready to move on from Johnny football, and sure enough the owner came out today and stated that johnny is doing everything so far that the club has asked if him and they are happy with his progress.
