CAPJ Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 4 hours ago, D82 said: I think what they do with Tyler largely depends on what happens in the draft regarding getting a top tackle or not. But I think moving Tyler to LT essentially creates two weaknesses. Not to say I don't think Tyler can excel at LT, as he has shown he can, but I think you basically move him from being an All-Pro at LG to a Pro Bowler at LT. Gotta leave him at LG. He will be our new age Zack Martin. Could he play tackle, sure but don't move an All Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - but hardly a “starter” LB depends on LVE but getting Overshown back lessens that LT/G depends on what drops but very good class for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tyler should stay at LG and if we can draft a Mims or similar then we do, but I also wouldn't pass up on an elite LG/RT prospect that requires us to slide Tyler to LT - it's nice having that flexibility. That being said, when Tyron missed time the last few years, did Tyler slide over or did he stay at LG and we played a backup LT? I can't recall off the top of my head but feel like we used a backup LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I know we also brought in Jason Peters at some point (and I think he was at G or maybe at T also?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked on PFF and he took over 1,000 snaps at LT in 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As poorly as Mazi Smith played, I doubt we’ll look at NT early. DT? Maybe. But, o-line, WR, RB and LB are the main needs. And, if the Clampett’s are willing to spend some money, a few of those positions could be shored up (even just temporarily) in free agency. And, if there’s any truth to the Trey Lance trade rumors, then moving him for a day 2 pick would be invaluable.

Danger Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 what are some moves to open up more cap space y'all can realistically make? And how much space could you open up all in all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much space could you open up all in all? Two big ones are Dak and Martin. Dallas can clear up around $25m between those 2. Handful of others and they shouldn’t have much trouble hitting $40-45m. If they really get aggressive I believe it’s upward of $60m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
