OLine Depth watch
We just finished our final warm up (ravens joint practice) for the regular season which was touted as the measuring stick. Unfortunately, from all accounts our interior oline was really bad.
We did not have Allegretri or Cosmi in. So rather than freaking out, we should hope we get lucky with a trade or cuts for an experienced center and guard. Good news is we have a shot post cuts. Yes, we are 7th on the waiver wire, but according to this article about heaviest need, we may be first in line for oline cuts in terms of top needs for players under 4 years of service. Here is a summary of waiver wire order and top waiver wire need: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/o...ster-deadline/ 1. Raiders. LB 2. Jets LB 3. Cardinals secondary 4. Titans CB 5. Giants Dline 6. Browns Edge 7. Skins Oline 8. Saints Oline This order stays in place until week 4. We must make a corresponding move if we pick someone up. Also, experiences players who are cut, are free agents and would likely love our situation as there is a clear path to starting center or left guard. It goes without saying the ideal player is a swing interior center who can also play LG. I thought we had one in Brunskill, but he has disappeared after playing guard against the dolphins. With 1200 cuts coming, there will be 32 4th string centers cut and maybe 16 3rd string centers including our own. Odd are one of these will be better than our current 2nd string option of Gulbin/Good-Jones. They just need to learn our playbook in 2 wks. I wouldnt be suprised if we target a swing vet who has played 5 games at center, plus a waiver kid who is primarily a left guard with wheels
