I hate to sound like a broken record, but Telesco simply doesn't value the position and hasn't shown any evidence of it. More likely, they're trying to re-sign Tre Boston and if that fails they'll probably roll with some combination of Rayshawn Jenkins (they've already been listing him as a FS), moving Desmond King, or signing another journeyman to a 1-2 deal and drafting a guy on Day 3. Wasn't Desmond King vocally opposed to moving to safety? I thought that was one of the reasons he fell in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman57 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm fairly confident it's going to be LB. IMO, we're going to do what we did at OG with LB's this year. I think we double up (I'm willing to bet that we give heavy consideration to Oren Burks or Matthew Thomas at Will LB around the 5th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a (bad) habit of his. I honestly didn't expect the Bosa or the MW pick when they happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I figure that priority is 1) Re-sign Boston at a number they're comfortable with, 2) Roll out Jenkins, 3) Sign another journeyman similar to Boston, 4) Try and talk King into a position move, 5) Draft someone.

the lone star Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 He could help the run game out a little maybe. He didn't grade out that well by PFF though, did he? I've always felt like the talent was there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does King really have the speed to play centerfield as a FS? I have my doubts. He excels in his current role, and I don't think we need to fix what isn't broken. When you say sign another journeymen similar to Boston I'm not sure if you mean another FS or a journeyman at another position of need in general. If we are going to resign Boston I'd much rather try to get someone at DT or LB instead of another safety on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltsFan937 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Time will tell, but everyone hated the Okung signing last year too. Washed up, can't stay healthy, graded out poorly blah blah blah. I think Russell turned in a pretty solid year last year. Doesn't mean the same will happen with Pouncey but I'll trust the front office and medical staff. Lynn has been on record as saying he prefers addressing the lines in free agency as opposed to the draft. The reference was to the physicality on the lines and that in essence 20 -21 year olds aren't the same animals as grown men. So this doesn't surprise me, but I agree with the sentiment that it would be wise to draft someone to groom. For the record, I'd be shocked at this point if we didn't go LB in the first. The free agent LB class is fairly underwhelming. I also think for that reason those backers Edmunds/Smith/Vander Esch/Evans are gonna go earlier than people expect. I think they're all gone in the top 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoric Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Well this is a headline for sure. Not sure how it will work out but he’s the best center Rivers has had since Hardwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think "improving the run-defense" is earmarked for the 1st round pick; it's just a matter of whether that's a DT or a LB (and that may be determined by who is available). You forget that Adrian Phillips can also play FS. If we do get a linebacker, it may allow Adrian to stick soley to being a safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several fans say their GMs know how to break down contracts to the point where it seems like everyone should have this figured out by now.
