Dr.O Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Like this move for them, should still invest a few picks in the draft on OL though but definitely a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is an overpay, but Soldier is a good left tackle and will make a world of a difference if he is healthy. After he busted hard in DEN Okung looked done. He is a run game liability but he bounced back in a huge way last year in 2017. I will totally own that I didn’t see that coming. He was kind enough to get us a late 3rd comp pick back though so there was a silver lining lol. All of which to say that paying for a 30 year old LT is iffy that he can keep it going. But it’s not unheard of. The big risk is injury robbing them of the agility / range they need to keep their level of play on an island. If they can avoid that we certainly do see them able to keep playing. I think it’s a huge risk and for a team like DEN it’s not worth it as it doesn’t make enough of a diff at that price we are too weak elsewhere to be a true contender. For a true contender that needs a LT it makes a ton of sense. I just don’t know if the Gmen are really in that position though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are lucky in that our 2nd round pick is in prime position to take a good interior lineman. Wynn, Hernandez, Price are all good prospects and at least one should be available.

That's about right for him and something the Patriots could've easily afforded. Pats are supposed to pay the 5th receiving target on the totem pole $6M a year? Yeah sorry, pass.

I don't think NY is going to be a serious contender. But if they are going to stick with Eli at QB, then they have got to address the LT spot.

At worst he was 4th (don't know who else you had ahead of him other than Gronk, Cooks, and Edelman), and that's assuming Edelman comes back the same. But ok.

But ok. He was where he was last season because of injuries to Hogan and Edelman. If healthy (and that includes his own because he is injury prone) he’s the 5th receiving option. Even if you want to call him 4th, $6M/year is too steep at his age and with his usage limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they are going to stick with Eli at QB, then they have got to address the LT spot. Yeah, I get that. I would point out the optimism ppl see with Whitworth/Okung/etc. in maintaining their play should be balanced with the examples like Joe Thomas - he played at an amazing level and only had a small amount of decline before his triceps injury - but once it happened, boom, he's done. The toll was too much to continue. When the older trench guy gets hurt, it's often the end. That's the risk with Solder. It's less whether or not he gradually declines - usually, they are OK, OK, OK...then boom, done. Still, LT is so hard to replace I get it. And like I said, it's not unheard of to maintain your level of play even beyond 30. But the risk is certainly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 will be interesting to see just how bad offensive lines become in the NFL over the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ok. Gronk, Edelman, Cooks (These are obvious). White ( third down backs get lots of play under the B.B./McDaniels offense). Hogan (if healthy he is opposite Cooks with Edelman in the slot). Then possibly Mitchell as Cooks/Hogan’s backup If all are healthy, Dola is likely the seventh man in priority. As the backup slot receiver.
