Expand Last year we had two more players with pro bowls on the depth chart and still traded up to add dawkins. Based on the losses of glenn and wood, and comparing adding a guy like bodine to ducasse and Dawkins... I have a hard time buying either part of your argument

richardb1952 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Definitely needed some depth at center and Tackle position. Let them fight it out in camp

Chuck Wagon Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 The optimist in me wants to say they are clearly targeting positions that are "holes" because they don't plan on using day 2 picks on those positions. It certainly makes some level of sense to sign vets in the "holes" positions, then use later round draft picks and udfas to compete for the positions in camp.
Captain Murica Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Man, I was hoping it was Compton when I got the notification. That man was made to defend his dirt lol

Cordy Glenn is the primary reason we took Dawkins - availability has not been there. We had a massive need at RT and all we did was get Dawk and add Succasse. We have already added two guys and the draft hasn't even happened yet. I would expect us to draft another OL as well.

Expand These are the types of signings that fill holes and then you immediately start looking for replacements. At least they are experienced as hole fillers. Heck, we might look back at this next season and say what great signings these were, or not.

Buddo Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 It could also be that there isn't much depth at the positions, in the draft. Center, is probably ok, but RT probably isn't. As regards depth in the draft.

Expand I don't know anything about these players, but some fellas who seem to know what they are talking about have classified them as poor players. What I meant by desperation, however, was not that it was a move of desperation by OBD, but that a team only plays subpar players when forced to; desperate in that sense. I am fine with signing average players with experience. Edited March 19, 2018 by Dr. Who

Bodine May be able to challenge at center or guard. Maybe a slightly above minimum contract? Newhouse will hopefully just be a backup, unless he somehow improves dramatically, which then He could compete at RT. Wouldn’t count on it. Hopefully minimum salary for him.
