bigben07MVP Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I think some of you are underrating Jensen. He’s a top 3 center and would be the QB/Vet of the interior of o-line which we have sorely lacked since losing Foster/Decastro/Pouncey. Doesn’t hurt to have SB champion experience either. He was somewhat of a late bloomer (didn’t become a full time starter until 2017), I think he has at least 3-4 years of solid play left in him. Again I do not want to get in a bidding war but the intangibles have to be taken into consideration here. Plus it potentially solves two problems by moving Green to OG which I think he might be more comfortable at and I think he can raise the floor of the entire o-line (especially Green and Dotson if they are out starts at OG). Moore Jr - Green - Jensen - Dotson - Chuks Thats not AWFUL if you assume the young guys all keep developing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I really dislike paying a player the highest money when he is past his peak. Steelers do it to keep fan favorites like Ben and Polamalu but in the end, it is a bad investment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFF Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I understand not wanting to pay C3$ to somebody but generally that applies more to where speed etc etc abilities start to decline...QBs and lineman can play into their mid 30s. For a team thats probably more geared toward the running game the next few years and more than likely drafting their QB of the future this year or the next...a solid veteran Center would be a great addition even with an overpay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to factor in situation too. A team like the Bengals makes much more sense than we do, for both sides. With or without Jensen, we look to be a middling team in 2022. He isnt a particularly great run blocker, so its not like he would come in and transform our run game. He would certainly be a nice addition, but Im not on board with paying him potentially $12mil+ when he is 31 and isnt really an elite player. Id be okay with overpaying the right player. He isnt the guy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Kaboly's mock on the athletic: 1st round: OG Kenyon Green, Texas A&M 2nd round: DL Travis Jones, Connecticut 3rd round: WR Khalil Shakir, Boise State 4th round: OT Luke Goedeke, Central Michigan 6th round: LB Nate Landman, Colorado 7th round: QB Kaleb Eleby, Western Michigan 7th round: FB Connor Heyward, Michigan State I would be pretty happy with that.

Dcash4 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 AFC West QB's are now Mahomes, Herbert, Wilson, and Carr. I would probably throw up a "sup?" text to the Raiders. Carr is a good QB, not sure if they would have any interest in moving on from him, but he pretty quickly became the #4 in that division on a team with a new administration and potentially a desire to do their best to stock themselves up to find their next QB. Don't know if they would, but I would at least find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
