This is potentially a big upgrade over OBJ. He actually has the athleticism and feet to play the position, and OBJ didn't, which is why he struggled and always will struggle against speed.

I hope OBJ enjoys playing for winter break in Chicago because it won't be for the playoffs.

It's basically the Eric Reid mold of a player. It's the smart way to do FA. I like it.

It's not his strength. And I literally don't give a shit about it.

When i first heard hes moving to left, i freaked out a tick. But Andy and Co. watched tape on him twice this year and played against him twice. I'll trust their judgement.

On one hand, I'm upset they didn't trade a first rounder for TUnsil

On the other....we still have a first round pick to trade....

I don't know, but the Jags ran the ball well last year, so it didn't keep them from doing that either way.

I'd imagine run blocking will be easier on the left side too. Usually smaller guys at RDE/ROLB.

pretty sure the jags run a different blocking scheme than we do

he might be way better in our zone scheme

Hes going to be playing next to an accomplished vet too....

Our O-Line pass blocking just improved, and we like to run RIGHT anyways (Trey side)

So you're either going to pay a RT 20M or move a guy to LT that's never played there and pay him...20M, when he was projected at about 17.

So basically he excelled in pass protection under the same offensive system as he does here.

Sounds like a good pickup to me.

Now its time for coaching to come in and make sure this kid transitions.... Considering we just did it with OBJ, I'm imagining we have the coaches to make it work.

2 or 3 years from now when the tackle market is at 35mm a year we wil be very glad to have this kid. He has all the tools to be a fantastic pass blocker. Put him next to Thuney for a year or two and he'll figure it out pretty quick.

that guy's athleticism just jumps off the tape

the offense is going to open up a lot more now

Doesn't matter though. This team has hosted an AFC record five straight AFCCGs, been to three of the last four SBs, and won two. They have earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the draft and FA regardless of what PFF says about a player.

DeAndre Hopkins! PFF rated him good last year
