Scoundrel Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 What signifies a franchise cornerstone? Like is Andrew Thomas a franchise cornerstone? I don’t know where to slot a bunch of my guys. Trying not to give myself too many cornerstones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Imo franchise cornerstone should be an elite (say top 5 player) at a position of importance (so genetally not RBs, interior OL, S or off-ball LB) that you build your franchise around. So for the Jazz I'd say Josh Allen, George Kittle, Nick Bosa and Jeffery Simmons - each of these guys are unquestionably among the few best players at their position, single-handedly can impact a game and are in, or haven't yet reached, their primes.

Meh feel TE fits into some of those other positions you just listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I’d rather build around a healthy Derwin James than a healthy George Kittle maybe that’s just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to double cover Chase. Wirfs is gonna erase a pass rusher. Sauce is gonna erase a WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGold Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I would rather have Elite safety play, than CB. Not as strongly, but I would also prioritize IOL just as much as OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Garrett Wilson is a franchise cornerstone I am putting Andrew Thomas as one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to me guys like Kittle, Kelce, Andrews while tight-ends, should be looked at in the same way receivers are when it comes to impacting the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my point is that any position can be a cornerstone player imo if they are great enough. So I think Kittle can be one but so can a RB etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
