I looked at the Rams offensive line since I couldn't find anything about Andy Dickerson's preferences in linemen. It appears that 6' 4', 310 lbs, athletic, smart, and consistent is the prototype. Both Raimann and Penning seem to be a fit for our left tackle needs and there's a decent sized drop off after that for LTs. It appears the 2023 draft is strong on QB, CB, DL but not on OL or DE. I'm more and more convinced that assuming the top three don't drop, one of these two should be our pick. Of course, that almost guarantees we'll be resigning Brown and kicking the can down the street on LT because one of Edge guys will likely be there and Pete loves his rushers. Ugh.
Kenneth, give me some odds on positional picks in our first two picks of the draft. I know it depends on who goes before the pick but assume they can get what they want position wise. If it's too complicated for a reply then it might make a good Seaside Joe newsletter.
Thoughts:
There are four top ten rushers: Hutchison, Thibodeaux, Waker, and Johnson
There are four top ten LTs: Neal, Ekwonu, Cross, and Penning
Tyler Linderbaum has been lauded as the best center out of college in decades.
Two corners, Gardner and McDuffie could factor in the top ten.
Is Jordan Davis worth a top ten pick?
Is the first pick a LT, C, DE, DT, or CB?
Add RB to the list and odds for the second pick are...?
It seems like there's a lot of quality in the top 100 so does John trade down? Would you prefer to stay at nine or get an extra pick in the top 100? What are your odds of staying put?
As much as I wanted DeShawn Watson how do you build around $230 million. It's time the NFL takes the Quarterback out of the salary cap. Also I would like to see all runninbacks get $2 million a year base .
I suppose if Dunlap doesn't fit a 3/4 so be it, Hyder under whelmed and fed off scraps in San Francisco. Not that's bad its just how he plays. Pete did a great job of selling the no rebuild, I hope he gets to see it through. Marcus Mariota a great place holder, I wouldn't trade a bag of balls for Baker. Victoria Chris
I would go with 2nd chance Luck and wait till next year on any QB. Nothing out there brings much excitement.
Another newsletter idea. How does the switch to a 3/4 scheme affect our draft plans?
No to Baker! Thanks to the Browns for taking Watson!
Agreed: Jordan Davis. Have an Uber-athletic Gilbert Brown type in the middle of our D-line for the next decade: YES PLEASE.
