Draft wrap-up 2013

Say it with me now:

"Not enough big bodies."

Football is a war of attrition that is won in the trenches.

We got no linemen on either side of the ball if we count Jenkins as an OLB.

In my book that's a 300 pound problem.

I understand what you're saying, but we have a lot of great OLineman and depth and we have a very solid DL. Could we upgrade? Sure, but from where we were picking and what needs we had, picking OL and DL wasn't a priority and we would have just been picking them for need instead of value and need.

Too soon still for a openly Vegan player? <sigh>

Well a Vegan would obviously not have the stamina to make it through 60 minutes...you know, malnourished. :D

Cute post.

Our rostered linemen:

C - Montgomery
G - Boyle, Chester, Gettis, Hurt, LeRibeus, Lichtensteiger (G/C)
T - Williams, Polumbus, Pashos, Trueblood, Compton


That's 12 total, at least 10 or 11 capable linemen including one elite LT in Trent Williams.

Also, last year, these guys helped us towards the #1 rushing offense in the NFL and the 5th-ranked offense overall.

We did exactly what we needed to do this draft...secondary, secondary and more secondary. Wit the other picks, we added some RBs since we really only have 2 healthy RBs on the team and a depth problem. Jordan Reed was too good to pass up and will make this offense even more dangerous.

We didn't need to draft linemen. Once the first few rounds and the legitimate starting-caliber RTs were gone, there's no need to waste a pick on O-line depth. We have plenty of young reserves in LeRibeus, Compton, Hurt, Gettis.

I fail to see how drafting a bunch of lineman would have helped us any this year. Outside of RT are there any other line positions up for grabs on either side of the ball??

I get your point, but I think you got to think in context of how we have been building this team. Right Tackle is a concern and we need someone to step up there, but outside of that on both sides of the Line I feel rather confident with our bunch.
