The Long, Slow, Arduous Bataan Death March To Drafting OL On May 8th - Page 16

Direckshun · 01:07 PM

I keep looking at the talent right now, have been for about three months.

And I honestly think the talent is at its best at OL towards the end of the 1st round.

Andy Reid needs to replace Albert, and there's no guarantee he has faith in Fisher. And Asamoah has almost certainly left, so we'll be in the hunt for a guard as well.

This is a team looking to get away from Pioli's smaller, nimble OL, and towards Reid's larger, more powerful OL.

Maybe we bring back Schwartz at guard. Maybe not.

God. This franchise has conditioned me to prepare for the worst.

***UPDATE***

OL the Chiefs could potentially, inevitably draft at 23, depending on where things are in 5 months:

OT Greg Robinson, Auburn
OT Taylor Lewan, Michigan
OT Cameron Erving, Florida State
OT Antonio Richardson, Tennessee
OT/G La'el Collins, LSU [not coming out this year]
OT/G Zack Martin, Notre Dame
OT Cyrus Kouandjio, Alabama
OG Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State
OG Cyril Richardson, Baylor
OG David Yankey, Stanford
OG Xavier Su'a-Filo, UCLA

I will run mini-scouting reports on these guys over the next five months in this sad, miserable thread, plus any guys who also drift onto the radar.

If there are any others you'd add, feel free to.

I'd spend a 4th or 5th on him. Redshirt his first year and he can replace Linkenbach after this season.

Those players are still valuable, imo. Yeah, you lose a year of cost control, but you don't lose a roster spot. He would be a great reach/pick for a team with a deep roster because you can increase the talent level of your team simply by placing them on the IR for a year, which in turn frees up a roster spot for another talent on your team.

That is heartbreaking. Hope he comes back stronger than ever.

Exactly.

I really like Thomas in this draft, thought he would go late 2nd to 3rd round based on his talent. Now he will drop to the 4th or 5th round or someone like SF will take him with their comp pick in the 3rd.

Throw Thomas down in the 7th-FA category with Spencer Long of Nebraska. I never like Thomas much anyhow, but that sucks for him. I would take a chance on Long though, guy was a beast.

Just want to remind people that this is still happening.

Off with you. Prepare your apology speech for when this doesn't happen.
