I thought I heard he should be able to transition to LT pretty easily in the NFL, or maybe I confused him with someone else

well he is only a redshirt sophomore now, and our starting LT Ed Wang is graduating, so maybe he will be moved to LT for next season for tech.

Probably Sergio Render who plays guard at Va Tech (not DeChristopher who's a RT) & is in most top 5 guard lists. He's a senior and pretty athletic. I could see him playing tackle in the nfl.

Assuming it will be an uncapped year (which may or may not happen at this point), it will be interesting to see what tender if any we offer Rogers, Campbell, and McIntosh. My guess is we try to keep Rocky, probably rather willingly let Campbell go, and tender Rogers in such a way that we basically say he's available but will cost you

...traded away for more picks, look guys JC isn't great but he isn't the number one problem. Sticking a young, inexperienced college qb behind the shitty OL won't make a lick of difference but will be akin to throwing away millions of dollars, you really want to make the same mistake as the 49ers with Alex Smith or Raiders with Jamarcus Russell?

Trade the pick for some second and third round picks and build some depth on the offensive line. That is the right move.

I should have started this thread with the caveat "Assume we are not trading our first round pick..."

whoops, my bad,

if we are not going to trade away the pick, I say we invest it in the best OT on the board, left or right.

ps, don't you guys feel Joe Bugel needs to be fired, I mean I understand we are not giving him grade A talent but Heyer has regressed, Dockery is not nearly as good a band-aid that we though he would be .... all that has to point to the coaching.

Lost in translation because they have an awful team: The Rams OL might be the most improved unit in the league this year.

GTripp0012 · 11-01-2009, 02:23 PM

I guess what I'm saying is that building the OL through the late rounds would involve a major organizational philosophy change, which is supposedly what getting this great franchise quarterback is supposed to shortcut.

GTripp0012 · 11-01-2009, 02:28 PM

The other thing I'm saying, is that if Quarterback is really an issue, we should put our money where our mouths are, and get the right guy for the new system, all the while, using our draft picks to bring in young talent that will get this team back where it needs to be.

We can buy better quarterback play. We can't buy a better organization.

GTripp0012 · 11-01-2009, 04:46 PM

No blue chippers, lots and lots of guys with the NFL skill set and necessary college experience.

Clausen
Pike
McCoy
Bradford
LeFeveour
Tebow
Robinson

Probably the best of the group. There's also Jake Locker who has the skill set, but not the experience or any accomplishment factor.

Well depends what we do in free agency in regards to our offensive line first...but I dont care who is playing quarterback... if the line is not upgraded, no one will be successful. So I'm all about the offensive line first and foremost...

Pretty much what my mindset is at..

Plain and simple best qb available. Do it every year till we get a QB and build from there.
