There isn't a single blue chip LT in this class, IMO. There's nothing resembling Alt. I don't even see a JC Latham. I'd take Fashanu over anyone from this draft class and he was lousy last season. I'd take Fuaga over anyone from this class. It's not really until Mims out of the '24 class that I start to see guys I'd put behind the top prospects in this class. It is just the absolute wrong year to be aggressively trading up for an OT. You'd be better served standing pat and hoping to get a Rosengarten sort at the back of the 1st or even back of the 2nd. Rosengarten was actually fairly effective, fairly quickly last season. There's a solid argument to make that apart from Alt, he was the best rookie OT in football last year. Just recognize that you could well end up with someone like Guyton, who was barely more playable than Kingsley. Then again, had we traded up and taken Fashanu after paying a kings ransom for the privilege, he was only marginally better than Guyton was. Fellas, we gotta just keep plugging along here. There's simply not an obvious and easy solution to this. |

Starting off as a guard or RT for a year or two doesn't preclude him from eventually earning the job at LT, at all |

You can't expect to fill all the holes in your roster with rookies. You had a great draft if you can fill 4 holes, one to two immediate starters and some decent, contributing depth in a couple/few more. We have 29 FAs. 3 of those are ERFAs and one of those 3 is a backup K. We can't conceivably make a meaningful impact on the overall construct of the roster with 6 draft picks, 2 of which are in the 7th round. This is why Geoff is kind of an idiot at times. He has to think about this before saying you don't do this or that in the draft. Do what you feel is best for your team, especially long term. This is why people bashed Atlanta last year for drafting Penix even though it was a good move for the future. There are no guarantees in this league that you'll be in the right position to get a QB you truly believe in. That can be said elsewhere as well. |

We were just one pick away from rosengarten last year. This conversation would be a lot different if we were able to pick him.

Ronnie Stanley IF he’s healthy. Draft too. Leave no stone unturned. Must fix LT!

Im still in the Alaric Jackson camp. He's above average for league starters, slightly under the radar and might be more affordable. Still room to grow with his age too. 22 total pressures allowed in 2024. Stanley: 35 total pressures Wanya: 35 total pressures Mailata: 14 total pressures |

2021-DeVonta Smith, Landon Dickerson, Milton Williams, Kenneth Gainwell 2022-Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens, Nakobe Dean 223-Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, 2024-Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Jalyx Hunt They have also found incredible value at key positions in Jordan Mailata, Zach Baun and Mekhi Becton. Howie Roseman and his staff deserve praise man. They have been killing it |
Do we not LOVE the thought of Josh Simmons dropping slightly because of injury and Veach moving up to get him? Talk me out of Simmons!

Sweat killed Thuney by just long-arming him to death
I know Jackson's a LT but man... who's to say he doesn't suffer a similar fate when Andy inevitably asks him to vertical set 30 times in a game |
