Thats the ideal pick for me, a flexible OL. You give Beatty the chance to start and have a legit backup plan. If Beatty can start plug this guy in at G.
Fix the OL and everything else will fall into place
OL is a game changer, especially when it sucks. We still have a glaring need for a solid successful G, and a ? at T. IF T/G are a hole this season, prepare for another top draft pick next year.
And, yeah, the 'won't be able to afford him next contract' thing is silly. First, lets find that successful OL, then lets enjoy several years of him, then worry about affording him.
1. Jerry not mentioning DT or Donald
2. Giant's having a big need at DT
3. When asked Jerry said we have upgraded DL and we have some young guys that have to step up.
Sounds to me like DT and Donald could be the pick. Jerry avoiding discussion could be gamesmanship or wishful thinking on my part.
but my problem is this, there will be olineman in the 2nd and 3rd rounds that would be nice pickups and if we pass on playmakers or even trading up for a playmaker I think we miss an opportunity to get a special player.
Zach Martin has pushed from 3rd round to possible top ten in 6 months. Would we have drafted Snee this high. If they draft Martin this high that should mean they would like him to play OT. Otherwise why not trade up for Jake Matthews.
I have NEVER seen ANYONE talk about Martin in the third round.. the lowest I have seen is people talking about him going to Miami.. NOT ONCE did I even see anyone saying even end of the first early second.. and definitely not third round..
Yeah, I've never seen Martin projected anywhere but RD1...
Also, the whole notion of "getting pushed up/down" needs to be taken with a grain of salt... Most draft experts spend the majority of the offseason playing catch up with their evaluations and cannibalizing what other experts are "hearing"... Even Mike Mayock, who I like a great deal, has done a fair bit of it this year with guys like Bridgewater and Donald... The reality is that they probably were never there to begin with...
He can play T or G, depending on how well Beatty comes back. He can replace Snee if Beatty looks good or play T if he doesn't. Snee can back up at G and C. Its a solid pick, and the kind that stabilizes playoff teams.

We need a big receiver. The qb tends to miss high and we've got him throwing to smurfs.

Yep and I love them too. Won't lie the speculation is fun.
Just hope he's still around at 12.

Mike evans is a huge risk and would not be a smart pick at 12. Martin is a sure day 1 starter and he and pugh can be book ends for 8+ years
Can you see the Cowboys letting him past them???
He might not get by the Rams.
