DBs v OL: Through 3 Rounds of the Draft...

M.S. : 4/29/2017 4:21 am
...an amazing 29 DBs have been selected vs a paltry 10 offensive linemen.

This has gotta be one of the greatest DB Drafts in NFL history, and one of the least impressive O-Line Drafts!

Experts said it's a weak OL class

They weren't kidding. Teams that needed DB help figured to at least snag one by Rd three considering the depth. I though, don't understand how we will have an explosive offense if our line blocks anywhere close to last year.

I like Webb but man Garcia would have been a good get trading up a couple spots. If Webb isn't the answer after Eli it's a terrible terrible 3rd Rd pick. We could of had someone come in a help out from day one whether it was edge DE or OL even corner.

Garcia is not considered a day one impact OL so I doubt very much he would help this year

It's not a surprise...

...it was widely discussed this was one of the best DB classes in history and one of the worst for OL.
maybe move pugh to LT?

might be time to move pugh out to LT,play fluker at LG,richberg at C,have hart content with jerry at RG and move flowers over to RT?

if that works it would be worth re-signing pugh if he was the LT since unless they have another diehl 5th rounder lined up its very unlikely they get anything this year from a draft pick year 1

they cant afford another brewer,mccants etc pick would prefer a CB and DE and see if they can find an UDFA OL than reach for another dud OL in the back of a draft
