FA RTS the best of the leftovers?

BlueLou'sBack : 3/17/2019 2:04 am
Jared Veldheer ex of the Broncos gets my vote. He'll be 32 yo by next season... Worth a 3 year deal that's really 2 for 12 million or so with year 3 being a team option and cuttable with minimal cap hit after 2020?

FWIW graded out "above average" by PFF in 2018, two grade classes better than Wheeler's below avg grade.
lol...

If we’re talking OLD FA RTS

Then I’m in ... and probably a whole bunch of others on this board too
A possibility Lou,

even if the majority of us believe PFF’s rankings are usually a joke. We don’t really pay attention to them. But you? We pay attention to. :)
Depends on the leftovers.

You pass them if they don’t amount to a hill of beans, or if they demand too much cabbage. Old leftovers historically have produced terrible FA RTs as well.

Now that's actually clever, and unfortunately true at times.

Lol. We really need a FA RT that will clear the right side of the field.

Well they graded Chad Wheeler pretty darn poorly - about a 45, with which all of us concur.
Right outta the box

Risner or Dillard would be ten year starters at RT. Let this be the year we spend a high pick (2 round) to finally begin to fix our O line

You mean, "let this be the 2nd year in a row we use a 2nd round pick to fix the OL", right?

Yes, let’s use a 2nd round pick because 1st rounders didn’t work out

Definitely! Hernandez was a great step.

I’m just valuing those two as second rounders. The defense needs to get fixed and we can do that by using our firsts on an edge and a linebacker
Ah RTs, the only position that BBI bothers  
widmerseyebrow : 3/17/2019 10:19 am : link
To put the "free agent" abbreviation in front of. I wonder why.
Eddie, I don't think Risner or Dillard will be on the board still at  
BlueLou'sBack : 3/17/2019 10:24 am : link
37 however. Not in the mocks I've been trying. Of course, Hernandez was projected by many to be gone by 35 (was that where we got him?) last year, too, and we lucked out.

Fast Eddie : 3/17/2019 10:44 am : link
I guess it all depends on various team needs but the depth of D Line and linebackers plus at least four O tackles rated higher than Dillard/Risner will push them into top of the second. In any event I’m hoping for edge, backer, o tackle in that order
Leftovers give me fa rts
