StLunatic88 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The Packers were just better than us. They we’re definitely better than our depleted squad, they may have just been that much better than a full squad. But it would have been nice to see this matchup with a 100% Donald, plus Kupp, Edwards and Lewis. Not sure we pull it out, but they were down guys as well. Feels like a pretty good year, especially when it looked like we were running out of gas to end the regular season. Hope we have Staley atleast another year, and he can learn from this. We’ve got some Off-season Capital to improve, but will have to do it very wisely. Happy Mocking everyone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Just now, The LBC said: Well, given my druthers, I'd want Quinn Meinerz (who's basically this year's Ben Bartch), but I'm not going to pin my hopes to us drafting 1 specific prospect. I'd need to look at the numbers again to see what unloading Havenstein would cost us, but I have trouble believing that we wouldn't be able to get comparable, if not slightly improved, quality out of a journeyman from the FA market. If the Bills don't re-sign Nysheke, he was only pulling down $5M AAV this past season, pretty sure that's a void filler right there money and quality wise. Ty Nsekhe is already 35 years old. Havenstein is an above average RT (at worst). He wasn't the issue today. He wasn't the issue this year. We only save $5 million cutting him. There's no reason to create another hole on the OL when Havenstein isn't a weak link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’d rather not be replacing the Average+ guys before we fix the gaping holes Yeah I honestly am horrible with the cap, so if it doesn't save us much, you're probably right to just roll with the continuity. 1 minute ago, jrry32 said: Havenstein isn't the problem. The tipped balls are annoying, but they happen once or twice a game. He's a great run blocker and a solid pass protector. An OL is all about the sum of its parts. Practically speaking, it means having one or two dominant players and zero weak links. Today, we had two weak links: Bobby Evans in pass protection and Austin Blythe overall. Blythe has been a weak link for most of the year. We don't have the money to overhaul the OL. What we need to do is replace Blythe with a guy who is a solid or better player, and we need one of the young guys (Edwards or Corbett) to elevate their games. He's not the problem, but he also isn't playing up to what's expected from him. If it won't save us much, then you're probably right to address the other areas though.

El Ramster Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Another great year though. Love y’all like meek mills said we use to prey for times like these. Feels good always being in playoff contention. Can’t wait to see the talent we add. Cheers boys! Hope y’all don’t go crazy over this one. Much ❤️. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Any chance Nick Bolton falls to us in the 2nd round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have two third round comp picks, so if we trade down with one of those picks, we can replace that 4th round pick and the 5th we traded for Corbett. I think we can get Minshew, and I think he's the perfect guy for what we need. Well he is under contract for 2 more years (thought it was 1) so I might be ok with moving a Top 150 pick for him. But I guess I’m not sure that Minshew “pushes” Goff anymore than what McVay and Wolford did last week. He looked a lot more like his old self today (all be it with a hampered thumb) so to me I feel like that might be a fruitless venture.

Hav is the 8th highest paid RT in the NFL. Frankly, I think his play is in line with what he's being paid. I would say that he's in the 8 to 12 range in terms of NFL RTs, and some of the guys who are better or as good are on rookie contracts. 1 minute ago, StLunatic88 said: Well he is under contract for 2 more years (thought it was 1) so I might be ok with moving a Top 150 pick for him.

If Goff plays to his abilities, there's not a QB out there available to us who could "push" him. But if he falls apart mentally, Minshew can step in and execute this offense. I am probably higher on Minshew than most, but I think he's capable of being a starting QB. That all said, Goff is an exceptional talent. He's one of the best pure throwers in the NFL. I am hoping he enters his prime next year and makes a big leap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I’m with you on the Bolton love, and anything can happen, but it’s hard to see a LB like him falling to #57. But anything can happen to anyone who isn’t a Top 10 lock come draft time. Id be surprised if he’s isn’t one of the first few picks of the second round at worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think some here we’re hoping that Gardner is what we would get out of Wolf, and he just doesn’t have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
