And by that I mean draft offensive linemen. The achilles heel for lo all these years has pretty much been getting shut down by teams with strong defensive lines. Seattle gets away with playing a nickel defense and still gets max pressure from their 4 man line. It stopped us in our tracks.
Near as I can tell we need a LG, a C and a backup/starter for Trent Williams. Although Vederian Lowe is possibly a decent backup. We signed 2 backup LGs in Brett Toth and Rob Jones to an already underwhelming group of Connor Colby and Nick Zakelj. so, upgrade that spot.
Jake Brendel is near the bottom of the league in centers so we need an upgrade there as well. He may be a decent run blockerm, but his pass blocking is
I think LG is the biggest weakness so start there.
Plenty of draft boards have us getting an O line in the 1st but I took a look at Walterfootball. They are pretty good and seem like they do their research, but their picks are:
1st: Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
2nd: Jaylon Guilbeau, CB, Texas
3rd: Aaron Anderson, WR, LSU
4th: Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State
4th: Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State
4th: Mason Reiger, DE, Wisconsin
4th: Deshon Singleton, S, Nebraska
Nothing for the line. I don’t get it.
For once in their lives, they really need to go O line. Hard. 1 and 3 at the least.
Agree unca. The good news is that these totes do not make the selections. Shanahan and Lynch do.
