Chili Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I'm sure we will add somebody. Gute is the kind of guy who likes to ensure we don't have many holes especially leading up to the draft. He did it last year with Wagner and Kirksey and i'm sure he will look to do so again albeit at a much lower price point. If he really wants to preserve his compensatory picks then signing someone like Carlos Dunlap and Adoree Jackson/Kevin King would make alot of sense. There's lots of FA talent still out there and half of the league barely have any cap space, I think the strategy to wait for other teams roster cuts is a good one as those players wouldn't affect our compensatory picks. Wouldn't surprise me if that is exactly what we're trying to do. It's really is a good year to stock up on good quality talent at bargain basement prices. If we can find some at the right age and on a 1 year contract we can let them go in free agency next year and net us some more compensatory picks. Waiting right now is the best strategy whether we like it or not. Edited March 20, 2021 by Chili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a CB, OL or DL and then you can easily double dip at the other two positions with your 10 picks. CB is a pretty big need at the moment. DL needs an addition. OL is less of a need with Bahk - (Jenkins/Runyan) - (Hanson/Jenkins) - Patrick - Turner Certainly need some depth additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us picking up a vet there and supposedly we’ve been kicking some tires. Hanson isn’t a viable option until proven otherwise. If he makes the 53 it will be as backup C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I know nothing about OL play, but Runyan seems like a candidate to groom into a center, too. I suspect he has the tools (gritty, intelligent) to succeed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us picking up a vet there and supposedly we’ve been kicking some tires. Agree. Adding one potentially capable lineman would make me a lot more comfortable, center specifically. We know Jenkins can cover center, or guard, or RT. But *IF* we don't have any acceptable center other than him, then he's going to maybe need to stick at center, and if we have injury elsewhere we'd need to trust our present (and drafted) depth. That might work out. But given how injury-prone linemen are, and given that Bakhti may well not be back for a while, I'd really love to have more flexibility. Hopefully I'm just paranoid: hopefully Bakhti will be back fast; we'll draft a 2nd-day OL who's rookie-ready fast; Nijman is already a good NFL player just waiting for a chance; Runyan is ready to be a completely solid starting guard, not just an anti-awful; Patrick is already perfectly capable of starting at center and allowing Jenkins to stay at guard, or to cover tackle if needed; and maybe the Hansen and Stepaniek fans will be vindicated sooner than we can assume. Lots of hoping going on there, but I'd feel a lot less vulnerable if we were able to add one more capable guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the science backs this up. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2325967120959654 There's a lot of factors that go into this, but it's feasible DB is ready to play week 1. We have a conservative staff, so 9 months (the timeframe from his injury/surgery to week 1) seems reasonable. A similar study by Erickson et al18 found only 56.2% (77/137) of NFL and NCAA physicians would clear a player to return at 6 months, and 12.4% (17/137) would not clear a player in less than 9 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who tears their ACL in December will probably play in September (9 months).
