Seeing that he’s struggled a bit the past two seasons Veach will switch it up. Pat is going to get help. |

People hated on Orlando Brown Jr but the left tackle position far worse since he left.

You guys act like this was a conscious choice. It's been doing what we could with the options available. |

I think this claim that draft picks taken at OT outside of the top 10 are no different than those taken late 1st or the 2nd is disengenuous. You probably could make the claim that WRs taken late 1st are not much better than those taken in the 2nd/3rd round, but that didn't stop KC from trading up for someone like Worthy. KC clearly liked Worthy and they went and got him, end of story. Will he end up being significantly better or even better at all than McConkey? Maybe not, but they found their guy and made the move. Why would they not take that same stance at LT if they identify a specific player that is the most likely to succeed here and provide a solution for our line problems? Doing a bit of analysis where starting left tackles come from, yes they absolutely generally come from the top 10 for the most part. You have a handful of decent looking tackles that have been taken outside of the top 10 like Tristan Wirfs, Kolton Miller, Garrett Bolles, Taylor Decker, and Christian Darrisaw. I'm guessing Mims in Cincy may eventually join that list. DJ Humphries was a good left tackle for a while (when healthy), he was taken 24th. Starting left tackles taken outside the 1st include Dawkins, Mailata, Armstead, Raimann, Walker, Coleman, and Little. So outside of taking a left tackle top 10 where they are the most likely to be a sure thing, the highest concentration of starting left tackles in a particular part of the draft is those taken from around the 13-25 range of rd 1. Then you have a handful of decent or promising left tackles taken in the 2nd/3rd or the 7th. There don't really appear to be much in the way of left tackles taken currently in the 4-6 rd range. So again, I would argue that a tackle taken in the 13-25 range of the 1st rd absolutely does have a higher chance of developing than someone in the 2nd-3rd rd. |

Of course Orlando Brown Jr was really a right tackle playing left. But he was good enough to go against a similarly stacked Eagles team and not get his ass run over in the SB.

We haven’t had any explosive plays at RB since he got old last year.

I remember some saying that the 22 year was a bit of an aberration because of where the scores and such were coming from weren't repeatable and them getting yelled at.

Of course I think OBJ got too greedy but here's the thing. Our left tackle position has been a revolving door of suck since OBJ Jr left. He was better than anyone they have played since.

Veach offered 6 for 134 that was essentially 5 for 100. OBJ signed a 4 for 64. A generational bag fumble.
