OLinemen Prospects

[FanofPelicans]

I watched some of the Senior Bowl. OG C Richardson looks like he can be beat by the speed rush, although he's big and powerful. I think #19 is a pick too high for him. OT Z Martin is listed as a tackle but I think that he could play either tackle or guard IMO that could be a good choice at #19. If the team decided to go OT rather than OG Cyris K of Alabama could be a good choice at LT. I like McKinnie for a 1 yr contract but the team may decide to get the LT of the future. OG Yankey could be a solid pick for the Fins if he is there at #19.

Pro days and the combine are the next set of events coming for these guys to show case their talent - lets see what they show there.. but there are a lot of guys to choose from right now and that is good for us.

The team's first task will be to determine which free agents from the Oline to keep. Center Pouncey is the only olinemen signed. McKinnie said recently that he wants to finish his career in Miami. He wants to play 2 more years. I'd resign him for 1 to 2 yrs. The Oline improved right away when he started last year. The team needs to develop a starting LT for the future though. I'd keep J Jerry, to start or compete this year & provide depth next year. RT Clabo was average at best last year. The team needs a starting LG. I'd draft the best available at #19. L Collins of LSU , D Yankey or Z Martin could be solid choices. At OT Greg Robinson is a proven player against top collegiate competition also.

On another note, would you resign Soliai or Starks? The team probably isn't keeping both. Soliai played hurt & the team took a step back in run defense last year. Starks plays the pass better but he's not the run stuffer that Soliai is when he's healthy.

CB Grimes is priority #1 in free agency in my opinion.

I'd keep McKinnie and if Clabo Jerry aren’t too expensive why not keep them for competition? Draft the best olinemen and let them battle it out. Hopefully one wins out at RT and starts grooming for LT of future. Maybe you even find a better option in FA than those guys...

I'd take Soliai as they need a run stuffer and maybe even draft another to groom.

Agreed on Grimes he's a baller....

Check out this guy:

Played both tackle positions and right guard. 6'6 330+ and is a great athlete. I really like this guy. Rated #26th overall by McShay right now. His stock will probably rise more though and he may go before we can get him. Hope not.

Who's board do you guys like the best or believe to be more accurate?

 

[Jakology]

I normally just find lists of players and watch highlights, and I watch a lot of CFB, so I know a lot of players as is. I don't really follow any particular person's draft board. I'll look at a lot of different boards and see where players are going to get a good idea of where they could go. When posting though, I normally use McShay's because his is very popular, and most people think its a good source.

I use a few boards. CBS Sports is my favorite resource but there are a few other good ones. I also watch a lot of LSU football. They play some of the top teams in the country so I use their games to evaluate talent.

He seems to move well for a guy his size.

Yeah. I like to have good athletes on an O line. Since the pass rushers are better athletes, they need to be able to shift their feet quickly to pick up the block.

Yep big dude! I think that we'll have a few options come 19....
