re: Daniel Jeremiah Mock Draft 2/17

Not in the slightest. It needs work. I just hate that our fans think the only way we can address it is 1 FA Guard and a Tackle at 8.
Plenty of good linemen have been found in the 3-7 rounds.

The Eagles had a perfect rotation of Linneman and kicked the Chiefs arse all across the field the until Eagles called off the dogs.
There is most certainly an imperfect system of developing O-lineman problem in the league.
it's a real thing.

You’ve gone too far in one direction.
My perfect draft would be Bailey at 8, then somebody either an OL like Monroe Freeling, Chase Bisontis, Gennings Dunker, Olaivavega Ioane, or Emmanuel Pregnon or NT like Kayden McDonald or Christen Miller in the second.
But if Fano is the pick at 8 and somebody like Denzel Boston, Brazzell, Lane, Bernard or Price is the 2nd pick, that could work too.
We have so many needs, we can draft multiple positions in the first.

Drafting a WR at 8 seems like a mistake. For every Larry Fitzgerald there are about 3 dozen knuckleheads.

If Fano/ Mauigoa are good enough for us to consider taking them at #8 then ARI, NYG, and CLE will make sure they're gone. I feel like ARI/ CLE are a lock for those 2 guys. Only way CLE doesn't do it is because NYG already took the 2nd guy.
The whole point of targeting high level FA OG this offseason is because we've spent so many high value picks on OL and have mixed results. That doesn't sound like we go OL for the first few rds.
We have 4 defensive starters that could announce retirement at any second and 1 who is a free agent.
The first 3 rounds are going to be defense, defense, WR in no particular order.

You underestimate the high need around the league for good olineman. Thus the not so great (unless you like over 32 guards) market is going to be competitive. I would be pleased with the LG from Cleveland and the broke down Miami guard as a project.

We will target several highly regarded OL this offseason but I agree that the market will be competitive. We may underrate the value of Shough at QB when the lineman make their decisions, OL like competent QBs.
I've seen a few rumors about targeting Linderbaum and moving McCoy to OG. Linderbaum can be added to that high value target group and it still gives us a guard. You could maybe sign someone like Daniel Faalele/ Zion Johnson and update the other side.
Getting one of top OL and having McCoy healthy would be more than enough help. Any upgrade from Ruiz/ Radunz after that is just a cherry on top.

I demand a guard that has played the position more than just two games since 2015. Just me perhaps.
I suggest anyone go look at the list of FA guards this year. "Its as deep as a mud puddle in the Mojave" And this means the starters are going to go quick and at a higher cost. You've got 35 year old grey beards, injured last two years, drafted in first plays like 5th rounder all in the top ten. 15-20 million per year will be the first contracts given for top guards and center.

There's 5-10 very good/ great upgrades and another 5-10 serviceable upgrades available.
You also have atleast 5 high value OT's that will get paid.
Then you have 2 of the best centers in the league that will be top paid OL in McGovern/ Linderbaum.
You also have teams that have 4+ OL fleeing from them (Browns).
If you take out the teams that are a dumpster fires + the few teams who don't need/ can't spend money on OL you are closer to 20 teams with about 15 high priced OL. And another 10+ mid priced OL that would still be upgrades.

Can you link that? I’ve literally never seen or read anyone else saying that. McCoy to guard seems like an incredibly oddball move. Like no basis in reality type of crazy thought that a tinfoil hat wearing person would make. Like Trindon Holliday at DE type of idea.

I keep seeing this and it’s fricking retarded. He played center in college and center for years in the pros, but let’s just move him to another position and we will be fine. It’s worked out great with Ruiz so far. Not to mention he can’t stay healthy at center and that position usually doesn’t get beat up as much as guards.
Great idea tho…

1. Can McCoy be trusted as your future franchise C? No
2. Can McCoy be an upgrade > Radunz/ Ruiz at OG? Yes
3. Can aquiring Linderbaum give us the starting franchise center? Yes
4. Can we trade McCoy? Yes that is also a possible scenario but we will have dead cap.
5. If you have to make upgrades in spite of McCoy then is it a terrible plan? Not really, we get our franchise C and still get help at Guard.

The point is that its a lose lose as you have clearly stated. So why not try to make the best out of it?
Getting Linderbaum and trading McCoy makes the most sense but we just had a whole conversation about the availability of OG's and yet finding a way to upgrade internally is retarded apparently.
We need a C and 2 OG's. This is the best way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
We can't spend +$20mil on 3 OL this offseason. To maximize the upgrades you want to make you'd need to trade both Ruiz/ McCoy and have dead cap from them. That's fricking dumb when you can just move McCoy and possibly end up with a better result.
No one is actually worried about McCoy's impact at OG. They would be worried about injuries, which is retarded because if he's at center then wtf does that matter? We have the exact same issue.

The whole idea of Linderbaum was in reference to the OG market and availability. If we somehow strike out on the top OG's but can get McGovern/ Linderbaum then you have a significant/ reliable upgrade at C and move McCoy to OG. McCoy can still be rated higher and better than the 9th, 10th, etcc FA OG.
Yes it is actually a very good idea and backup plan.

A ham sandwich is a upgrade over Ruizl lol You don’t need to lose your center because of it. We will upgrade backup center. Clapp and several FAs and or drafted C/G are on the way. Don’t worry.

Since he’s never played the position the last ten years, you have no way of knowing that.
Draft a guard and sign one in free agency. McCoy starts at center, where he has always played and let Ruiz be the main backup at center and guard if one gets hurt. We don’t save much on the cap cutting him this year so just use him.
