Why have him on the team then?

RT was the biggest need on the team going into this offseason I thought. Reilly Reiff isn't that guy, if he's starting, they have a problem. Now, if you're moving Onwenu out to RT, then throwing pick at the now-vacant RG spot makes a ton of sense.

Obviously I don't know what's going on with all these Olineman drafted.
Why not move Big Mike last year?
They have Anderson and McDermott at ROT. "Thank God we have McDermott".
I thought they liked Homes from last year.

My comment about paying Big Mike is that it feels like treading water until they sign some of their young guys.

It makes all kinds of sense, mainly because Onwenu will be hitting FA soon and Tackles make more money than Guards.

Fuck me. Another Guard? Antonio Mafi. Here's a snippet about him; "knockout power but a bowling ball body with some
concerning quirks".

Why do I bother thinking about this shit? Draft a Punter already, please. There is no shame in that.

The best part of this draft is that we can finally say goodbye to James Ferentz and Kody Russey. No offense to them, but
Ferentz can now move into coaching and I'll take my chances with somebody else.

Maybe the plan is to move Strange to Tackle, but it's all academic until the spit starts flying.

Well Wynn was still here, that had a lot to do with it. There are so many linemen on the roster right now, seriously anything could happen.

They have to be looking at an undervalued position and seeing if one of them could work at OT....the center of the line is decent when healthy

Maybe Sow is RT insurance

Also maybe Cole Strange is in the LT mix.

Since we're in confusion mode, this idea might actually have some merit. His biggest weakness last year was getting out-muscled by IDL monsters and there wasn't a ton
of other issues. Very few monsters play Edge in the NFL and he's flat-out going to get stronger. Maybe he could handle speed-to-power stuff better than
Silverbacks doing rip moves on him.

His best attribute is athleticism and quick feet and that is the most important asset to cut off the edge. The rest of it starts with being able to do that. Wynn could
not cut guys off to save his life last season because he's lost his mobility through the ankle issues or whatever other ass aches have plagued him. I think maybe
don'tgiveashititis might have been part of it.

If there is a major detterent to Strange playing tackle I can't think of what it might be. He's tall and has some length and can mirror in pass-pro. Great feet, not just good.

I doubt it, but it's not completely nuts to consider that. There has to be some reason why we doubled up at Guard and I expect Lazar and Co. might start wondering if
this might be on the table because we have an OL coach that might be able to teach the position.
 
I went for a walk and now I don't know who was drafted. Maybe that's better. I won't be saying this guy is still on the board and we drafted that guy.
