or play a significant role? Any offensive tackle that we draft does he take over at LT for Beatty? I just don't see that happening, not immediately anyway. Can someone come in and compete with Snee to start at RG? That could be a possibility but I think Snee is going to surprise everyone and come into camp ready to go and try to keep his job at least for another year. Any RB we take will probably ride the bench unless Wilson can't go or injury happens. WR? there is room to step in to be a factor. TE? the door is wide open for a rookie to be the guy there. A DT could come in and become a part of the rotation. I don't see a lot of spots where a rookie is going to make a immediate impact. If I'm wrong help me out...thanks!!
If Martin can do that quickly great. If it takes a good part of the season, or an injury to another player gives him a better opportunity than so be it.
But practically speaking, there will be opportunities-galore for Martin to become a starter anywhere on this offensive line in 2014.
Where?
It would be nice if you could predict where a rookie will start, but you really can't until you watch him in pre-season and see what happens to the rest of the roster.
You get the best play maker with your #12 pick. Which guy will likely have the best play maker career should be the consideration at #12, IMO.
OL, any position, might be our best OL from day one, helps us win. you 'dont get it' if he does not start at OLT from day one?
really?
You would like them to contribute as fast as they can.
Based on the current makeup of our O-line (talent & injury-factors), do you really think that will take long at all?
in any case, a great guard has high value.
what we have now is Pugh and Schwartz:
and a pile of question marks due to injury, age, lack of experience or a blend of those factors.
But there are a number of possibilities including anywhere on the OL, TE, Split End, and OLB opposite McClain.

Pugh started because Dheil got hurt in camp,if DD doesn't get hurt do you think Pugh starts last season from day 1? IDK
So you think a Safety comes in and starts immediately and or makes a impact on anything other than special teams? I don't see that. I agree on DT and TE
Even if the Giants draft Donald, they will likely bring him along behind the starting 3-tech, Jenkins. Donald would work into the rotation over the course of the year, contributing early in nickel and dime packages. If he's pressed into duty early as a three-down player, a rookie DT that small will be running on fumes by Thanksgiving.
Quote:
Martin will be a starter as soon as he gets off the plane.
Where?
LT, either G or maybe C depending on if Walton is actually healthy and can play. only Pugh and Schwartz are guaranteed spots at this point
TE is the most glaring opening on the roster, though, and I'd be surprised if we don't address it in rounds 1-3 (shocked if we wait til round 4 or 5; horrified if we wait til round 6; and prepared to become a fucking Browns fan if we don't address it at all in the draft). I'm guessing Fiederowicz in the 3rd.
Maybe you missed the off season where we signed multiple O-lineman 2 of which are potential starters
And I'm not the least bit sure which positions will be filled by whom.
