Now here we are, and you’re doing it with this class too. You’re focusing on a good/deep position group and you scare yourself into thinking you have to reach to get one. That’s a terrible way to approach the draft. You let the draft come to you. You don’t force things because of need. Again, that’s the entire point of signing a guy like Okung. To give you a little more flexibility in the draft.

Half the league isn’t going to take a T in the first 2 rounds dude. Smith, Hudson, and Little aren’t all going to be gone and at the very least they will be within reach to trade up in the 2nd.

- If Cosmi or Jenkins slip into our range, sure trade up.

- If Mayfield is sitting there at 31 and they think they can groom him to play LT, I’m good with that.

- If Eichenberg is the best T available at 31, there will likely be a DE or WR I’d with a higher grade. I’m not drafting for need.

- If there’s a huge run on T’s in the 1st, then that increases the likelihood of getting value in the 2nd. This class is extremely deep and like I said, half the league isn’t going to take a T in the first 2 rounds. That just doesn’t happen.

The best LT prospects are going in the top 40. Even last years amazing OL class had that happen.

And good luck to Okung. Would hate to have us trot out utter shit at LT when he inevitably gets broken again. Dude is 33 this season and injury prone. Those guys do NOT get healthier

we can get up to around 22-23 for a third

Up to 18-19 for a second

Maybe as high as 11th overall using next years first to move up

I guess it all depends on how many prospects Veach has that he thinks have above average starting LT quality and where the run on them begins.

Just because there are a shit ton of T’s doesn’t mean they’re going to all go in the first 2 rounds. Niang was considered a 1st round talent and we got him in the ****ing 3rd.

Nobody is projecting Little, Hudson, and Smith to all be gone before 63. Literally nobody is. Yet you seem to think they will all be gone based on nothing but a hunch. The same hunch you had with Cleveland.

I’m even saying that if there is an anomaly and half the league decides to take a T in the first 2 rounds, sure you can trade up in the 2nd to secure a guy like Little. I have no problem with that.

The point is, I’m not reaching for a T at 31. Are you seriously advocating for taking a T at 31 no matter what? Even if they have a stop gap? That’s just dumb dude.

Bc at this point it’s not “if” with Okung. It’s “when”

If I were Veach, I'd sign Okung, draft a guy like Walker Little (very similar situation to Niang last year) or Radunz, someone like that.

And I'd keep in touch with Fisher and his rehab.

It's doubtful Fisher could be ready game one, but probably could play mid to late season.
