Cearbhall Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 25 minutes ago, rpmwr19 said: A lot of offensive lineman being traded right now and it's something this team should probably jump on even if it's just to improve the depth behind our "starters" Cam Erving (granted not great) Ty Sambrailo Laken Tomlinson All traded recently. Going rate seems to be a fifth rounder. Spielman drafting an offensive linemen in the fifth round is really poor odds of getting a guy that is even a worthwhile backup. Rick should jump on the chance to get a proven backup for a fifth. Could save $4M on Boone if they were able to get a proven backup guard.

swede700 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Based upon the conversations around all of those players, none of them are any better than what's currently on this roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I wouldn't mind moving Boone if the price is right. Depth might be more of a concern though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Honestly I feel worse about the OL now than I did last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at lest equal. LT Reiff = Kalil, RG Berger > Fusco, RT Remmers = Smith. Wildcards are Easton and Elflein, two young, unknown players who could be great or could struggle. Last year, Boone looked good on paper but played poorly. Berger was solid at Center but he's now upgrading RG compared to last year. We may not be vastly improved but we're moving towards a younger group, not a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Reiff is far better the Kalil, just from his consistency alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT Reiff = Kalil, RG Berger > Fusco, RT Remmers = Smith I think it's more like : Both Reiff/Hill >>> Clemmings (Kalil and Long missed almost whole year) Easton > or = Boone Berger = Berger Elflein >>> Fusco Remmers > Sirles (Smith missed almost whole year) Edited September 3, 2017 by Kparty15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So where does Collins fit in? I only remember him playing LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can think of for us keeping him is because we had limited options at OT. I'm expecting him to be cut soon in favor of a different OL player from another team.

Thanks He didn't look impressive from what I saw of him, so wondered if he played G or RT. With Reiff, Hill, Remmers, and probably Sirles, it seems we are are covered at T.

gopherwrestler Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The Collins keeper is just a new version of T.J. Clemmings. Big, Athletic, and hoping to turn into something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be light years ahead of Clemmings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 anyone optimistic with the starting OL lineup. i liked that they identified that boone needed to be a bench player (by way of salary reduction), and on his camps refusal, let him go. i would have been disappointed to see Easton or Elfien on the bench, so definiteky support the move. better then 2016 yes, but the bar was crazy low to beat as well.
