We replace an atrocious RG black hole with a 2021 Pro-Bowl RG in Laken Tomlinson. Schultz holding out for 100mil/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of our Center Connor McGovern but nonetheless that O-Line above would create for an NFL monster O-Line for Zach Wilson and RB Michael Carter.

Yes, our GM since he came here is very in to having a strong OL and DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there definitely was. Staff was unhappy with him. Wasn't in shape, nagging injuries, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 So they’re moving Tomlinson to RG? Gotta be honest, slightly worrisome there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they also looking a Collins from the Cowboys. They will have a very solid OL for Wilson. No excuses really. They have plenty capital to build around him.

Let's see if Elijah Moore can take a leap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 1 minute ago, .Buzz said: That isn’t some seamless transition for everyone. It's a sore subject for a lot of OL. Historically, there have been some super talented linemen who really, really struggled or would struggle if/when they switched sides. Then there are some guys who are super talented who have no problem switching sides, switching positions, whatever. There seems to be no common thread and it varies greatly from player to player. Unless an OL has played an exact position before with success, I don't think you can predict with any certainty how they will do at a new position (switching sides included). Laken Tomlinson is a good LG and he's switching to RG. There's definitely a degree of risk involved there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know all eyes will be on him and Lawrence to see how they improve as the teams continue to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Jets are adding to an already beastly O-line for Wilson. Now they can go after some elite WR talent in the draft. Nice move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinsChampionships Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Quoted from PFF: STARTING GUARD: Tomlinson has developed into one of the best guards in the league under Kyle Shanahan, so a zone-heavy system is best for him to ensure continued high production. However, Tomlinson has done it all throughout his career and he can play in any scheme. They ranked him as the 28th best available FA option. I'm really liking this move especially for RB Michael Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they can go after some elite WR talent in the draft. Nice move. Would love going after WR's Drake London or Garrett Wilson #10 overall of the 1st round. We haven't drafted a 1st round WR since dating back to Keyshawn Johnson of 1996 and Santana Moss of 2001 of 21/26 years ago; it's been far too long. And then go after TE Trey McBride @ either 36th or 38th overall (2nd round). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
