Has he gotten over his "I have to be an LT" mentality?

BigHairedAristocrat · 04-06-2010, 11:29 AM

to me, the question is: would we even want him as anything other than a backup?

I would mainly want him as a LT backup possibly RT Starter.

Agree, once he hears DM is here, he will be begging to come back & play RT & be a backup.

according to that link to the rams forum, we've allegedly only got a top-10 grade on Okung. If true, I certainly think we'd try to trade down if he's gone when we pick. The only player i can see us taking at 4 is Suh or McCoy, and thats only if we ship Haynesworth to the Saints for a LT.

What are you trying to do, turn him into Andre Smith? Terrance Cody? You should say welcome to DC Russell, hire Shannon Sharpes personal chef and prepare to dominate the NFC East.

The Okung visit was really low-key...I almost missed the news report that he was here.

You know what that means don't you? We are going to draft him #4. Shanny plays the shadow games playing up the guys he's not going to draft... a la Tebow... to put off people to who he really wants. The only other situation I see happening other than Okung is trading down for more picks and another lineman. Mark my words.

Totally agree, good post, that Okung visit WAS low key as hell. Now that you mention it, it most likely wasnt a coincidence.....

I think this guy should fall in the Skins lap and it looks more and more like the obvious choice. Now that the RB situation looks to be taken care of for now as well as the QB position, this has to be the biggest need on the team

Sign Flozell...draft Okung. Pooooof! Left tackle problem solved.

rbanerjee23 · 04-08-2010, 11:10 PM

see my reasoning is that with all the offensive line talent in this draft, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we trade that pick away. I am sure some teams are extremely interested in Clausen and would be happy to give up perhaps a few 2nds or next year's 1st to trade with us and grab the ND product. And if we get Brian Baluga or Trent Williams, we will be fine at tackle
