Elflein could be a good fit as the interior backup. He hasn't looked very good at center but I believe he is good enough to be trusted as the backup. His potential is also what I like to see in the backup spots. Not sure if he is good enough at guard to backup there but there is reason for optimism considering he played guard in college.

RpMc Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Too early to relegate Elflein to a backup. He was “good” as a rookie and then struggled this year coming off of an injury that left his with no offseason. Top that off with playing next to two traffic cones, and it’s not a great recipe. He’s not above having competition brought in, but I honk he’s worthy of a do-over from this past season. He’s an ideal outside zone base center.

vikesfan89 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Is Murray that good? It seems like he has more of a center fielder's build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikestyle Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just getting into watching some OL prospects. Here are my early thoughts on the guys I watched: Dalton Risner is a stud. Guy is good in all aspects. I think he could be successful in a lot of thoughts along the OL. Andre Dillard is an impressive mover. If he can make the adjustment from a spread tackle to a guard in the NFL I think he will be very good. Really like his game. Beau Benzschawel probably is my favorite I've seen so far. I like some nastiness at guard, and he has that. Always looking for work. I think he would bring some much needed attitude to this OL. Michael Dieter didn't blow me away, but he's a steady eddie. Wouldn't mind him at all as a 3rd round guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elflein gets one more year but I think having a strong veteran behind him would be ideal if a switch needs to be made during the season. Hopefully Easton is healthy enough to play, he'd fit that role and could also compete at LG. just doesn't seem to be a standout Center prospect worth taking early if a switch is is to be made now.

swede700 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Is he Daunte with good size hands? Quote QB Tyree Jackson, Buffalo: Jackson measured a legit 6-foot-7, 249 pounds and has 10″ hands. These easily clear the thresholds for quarterbacks. Add in his powerful arm and mobility and Jackson will have Mobile buzzing by the end of the week. https://thedraftnetwork.com/2019/01/22/2019-senior-bowl-weigh-in-observations/ If you dive into this article, he sounds like Daunte combined with Tarvaris... https://thedraftnetwork.com/2019/01/22/2019-contextualized-quarterbacking-buffalo-qb-tyree-jackson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Draft Risner, kick O’Neill left, Reiff inside, and draft another guard type. I would be on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds a little too similar to last season. Reiff could bomb just as bad as Remmers inside. Then what happens if O'Neil struggles on the left? I mean they could try it but I would be worried until I see some success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
