So at what point (Which prospects) do we move on from Tyron for Tyler and draft an interior guy and which prospects are you taking to replace Tyron and keeping Tyler inside? Tyron will probably be year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - I imagine a similar deal as what we did with Zack Martin and let him finish his career here, but if you have a great LT prospect fall to us in the first, are we really not taking him? There's a dozen guys with 1st-2nd round grades that are RT's only but we just signed Steele to a 5yr deal so don't see any reason to take them. JPJ is the only interior guy I'd want to spend a 1st on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably right that Tyler Smith is as good an LT prospect most anyone. But he was an all-pro this year at guard. At this point, I think you want to let him develop into one of the leagues most dominant interior OL, rather than restart that clock by continuing to move him around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardHawk Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Lot of ground to cover between now and the draft, but the more we see of JPJ, the more it feels like him being there at 24 is a pipe dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I see him going mid teens early 20's in most of the post-Sr Bowl mock drafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dallas will take Tyron year to year till he retires and just draft or FA swing tackles as insurance. We do need a beast CENTER so we should look at those guys in the draft and/or FA.

Depending on what Miami does with Connor Williams, I think them and Pittsburgh are going to be the two biggest contenders to draft JPJ ahead of Dallas at #24.
