DawgX Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Good. Probably a slight overpay, but we couldn't afford to let Tretter go when he's one of our only two good offensive linemen at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 He is currently our best lineman. Great move to lock him up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnies20 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 He’s good. I’m happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) This was a need. What he showed last year through injury was team building block type stuff. He and Bitonio. Replace everyone else. We need a guy like Drew Forbes to hit so bad, but a 6th round lineman doing so is so rare.

MWil23 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 One of the many reasons I didn't like the Corbett pick. It reminded me a lot of Cam Erving in that we already had a good starter at that position and we essentially drafted depth/hoping that he'd start in a year or two in the event that the guy we already had rostered would walk in free agency. Good signing and well deserved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it seems like if Forbes went to a bigger program he would have been a higher pick. Also think it’s easier to hit on a late rd lineman than any other position really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaWg_LB. Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 We needed to do this......2nd most important spot on the line. Get a LT and C right...the rest of the line can literally be played by the same type of guy... LT gotta be a superior athlete or superior Technician....and then you have Joe Thomas which is both..... C gotta be SMART, and tough...he is the Brain/Nerve center of the Oline.... 6-4" 315lbs gets it done a RG, LG and RT if those other two spots are right...

You can’t just say get the left tackle and the center and who else for the other positions. We had a few years there where we had Mack and Thomas And those other guys totally brought down your line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I love for mccray to take over at rg, and forbes at rt next year, mcray is a load in the running game and it would mean we could run right and left, currently we can only run left well. Cant wait for hubbard to go get cut or maybe ttaded for a 2022conditoknal 7th round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtmmike Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 My guess is when it became official thats when they decided to trade corbett. So that way they can do another landry Like trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in today's technological and high speed information world, it's safe to say that close to if not all the NFL scouting departments knew of Drew Forbes and film (even Sports Illustrated knew him as prospect x). So, he still went in later rounds because his ability/athleticism wasn't exceptional (although the competition level definitely hurt him). Late round OLineman hit rate is not as high as RB, LB, and Safety hit rate. Hopefully he does hit. We need it desperately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
