Train them up and gradually get them on the field. I wouldn’t bet on that.. Maybe 1. They have a bunch on the roster currently. Usually only 8/9 make the roster. My money is on them bolstering depth at linebacker, defensive tackle, defensive ends and tight end in the draft. Edited March 16, 2019 by CaptnCoke11 1

Can he regain his form back at G? Nseke is loved by analysts. He’s looked great as a backup. Everyone says he just needs a shot at starting. Is he the real deal? Will Dawkins step up and be a legitimate franchise tackle in his 3rd year? Who wins the Teller/Feliciano battle? Mitch Morse is obviously legit. Solid depth with Waddle, Feliciano/Teller and I would keep Bodine. I think the ceiling for this OL is pretty high, with the floor being average. Average would definitely be a step up from last year. 1

They will be competitive which is good for the team.

It seems like it doesnt have the talent that it did in the Rex Ryan years. You mean the "talent" that was jumping offside every few plays or doing a good deal of holding? 1
richardb1952 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Give him some room to maneuver instead of getting swallowed up by the DL running through our guards and maybe he can still show us something. This has the potential to be a pretty massive line. 1

Would expect them to grab an OL somewhere in round 2-4 & then a couple more late rounders to head to the PS.

Very easily could be BPA based on this offseason so far and that is a good thing. If it is OL and we further upgrade that area, I'm down with that 1

hondo in seattle Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I’m excited as the next guy. But even now, how good is our offense? My guess.... QB: C. This is the hardest one to predict. I’m conservatively guessing we’ll move up to average. OL: C. Better than the ‘F’ OL we fielded last year. WR/TE: C. Another upgrade versus last year but still not elite. RB: B. Depends how much Shady and Gore drink from the Fountain of Youth. It seems to me that our O has gone from bad to average. The OL only picked up one quality starter and a lot of depth. If I were Shady, I’d wait for the draft before uncorking the champagne. Edited March 17, 2019 by hondo in seattle

I would He has actually become a leader on the team which is valued....... I mean all bets are off if he shows up in camp and looks like he has lost it......but I see a McCoy/Gore/draft pick backfield this year and the rook moved up next year and bid Shady farewell........two veteran guys to help our rookie QB

They'll probably prove to be improvements over what we had last year but that's not hard to do. I actually like all the OL additions They have all graded well at some point in their careers. Our new OL coach was a common denominator for two of them. Although I think he was the TE coach with one of them.
SmokinES3 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Nsekhe is certainly a quality addition IMO. Arguably the best swing tackle in the game. Looks like a starter to me based on all the tape that's out there.
