Nanker Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 So he says OL would be good there at 50 but of the players he lists that were taken at 50 only one of them was an OLineman. He could have developed the thought a bit more by listing OLinemen where we're taken AROUND #50 that had successful NFL careers.

I wanted to look that up if I had time.
johnwalter Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 yes I was thinking that as well. I wanted to look that up if I had time. (i had the time) O-Linemen taken between 40 and 60: 2014: Cyrus Kouandjio (BUF @ 44), Jack Mewhort (IND @ 59) 2013: Menelik Watson (OAK @ 42) 2012: Amini Silatolu (CAR @ 40), Cordy Glenn (BUF @ 41), Jonathan Martin (MIA @ 42), Jeff Allen (KC @ 44), Peter Konz (ATL @ 55), Mike Adams (PIT @ 56), Kelechi Osemele (BAL @ 60) 2011: Orlando Franklin (DEN @ 46), Stefen Wisniewski (OAK @ 48), Ben Ijalana (IND @49), Rodney Hudson (KC @ 55) 2010: Zane Beadles (DEN @ 45)
YoloinOhio Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks for doing that. Glenn, Franklin and Hudson jump out to me. If we could get a guy like that I'd be thrilled. Even Mewhort - who was a reach imo at that spot - can play multiple positions and started all year for the Colts as a rookie. Mike Adams was a big time reach by the Steelers. Wisniewski has been good enough to say I'd be happy with that guy (or we could just sign him since he is available, lol) Edited April 16, 2015 by YoloinOhio

Wisniewski has been good enough to say I'd be happy with that guy (or we could just sign him since he is available, lol) If we signed Wisnewski I would immediately feel better about the line. He's gotta be asking for Mike Pouncy level money the way he keeps bouncing around visiting teams. There will be impact players available with both our picks, the question is if we land them. With Wisnewski aboard, I would be happy to go BPA twice and take a developmental lineman in our later picks.
Bill from NYC Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 yes I was thinking that as well. I wanted to look that up if I had time. Well, Andy Levitre was selected at #51 in 2009. And as I am sure you recall, they traded up to select him. He seems to have lost quite a bit after he left, but he played extremely well here and was a fantastic draft selection.

Either he has an injury issue or he is pricing himself too high. Probably the latter. After the draft teams will know more exactly what they need and might be more willing to pay, but since he's not an exceptional player they may want to see if they can grab a OL in the draft who could be just as good. Though I agree, he would be a nice add. Edited April 16, 2015 by YoloinOhio

Big C Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 We've seen some guards make it to the third that have been starters the past couple years. Larry Warford and Gabe Jackson come to mind.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Good article by Sal. OL have been immediate and/or longtime starters. http://www.wgr550.com/pages/21364706.php?contentType=4&contentId=17229152 TE Clive Walford would be an impact player, great rout runner, gets separation makes tough catches over the middle/redzone.
aristocrat Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 kiko, woods, glenn, aaron williams, troupe...whoops, wood, byrd, levitre(51), ...left out cyrus but we've been very good drafting in the second. I'm confident we can get a day one starter.
