    Glad to see we didnt get sucked in to a bidding war and showed some restraint

    Yep, I'm glad the Browns didn't overpay for a guy who may have been the best LT in FA. . .but he's not worth 60 million.

    Also of note, Nate Solder suffered a torn bicep injury in 2015, which is the same injury that sidelined Joe Thomas.

    The good news being that it seems that a guy can come back from that injury 100%.

    I think Joe comes back.

    Yeah- looks like the G-Men are paying Solder $2 million more a season than what we would have been paying Joe. Tour, and we take Humboldt State dude Phi Beta Cappa in one of the lower rounds as a project? What ya think?

    I think Coleman is our new LT... and he'll do nicely returning to his college position. He showed fluidity at LT for Auburn that never showed up in Berea at RT.

    Cappa? Not feeling him, h. No burst... poor agility.

    Want a project on the cheap? Look at TCU's Noteboom.

  • Rumor has it we're going for Pryor, i'm not sure Shon Coleman is ready to start LT for us yet. we'll see how confident the coaching staff is.

    Well...I am hearing that the LT job is Shon Coleman's....as it stands, and that Hubbard will be the RT.  

    So...as I see it, we have gone from HOF caliber to:  WTFH....we now have one of the most important positions on the team being one of our biggest question marks!!

    It's happened before, guys miss football, whatever.  Besides what really makes these guys tick especially when money is not the principal motivational factor?

    Enquiring minds want to know.

    So.... Pryor is now moving to OT? Would have thought he'd first play a season at TE... 😉

    So a guy who looks stiff at RT is going to do nicely at LT? 😕

    I believe LT was the position Coleman played in college.

    Thus the term "fluidity"...

  • Personally I have used the slightly more tasteful analogy of brushing your teeth with "the other hand", but the message is the same...

    It's not easy to flip sides of the OL.

  • Any chance (or danger) that we take  Nelson if he’s there at #4 and kick Bitonio out to LT?

    Addressed this a couple times now... try to keep up... 😉

    You may remember I championed Bito as our best backup for Joe early in Joel's career, his first couple seasons, but not last year. Last year I thought flipping Shon C. was the way to go with Drango backfilling Shon. I just felt injuries had taken enough out of Joel's movement to put him on the edge. While we did not flip Shon, neither did we slide out Bito so we clearly thought neither was the better option. So I think that ship has sailed.

    As for Nelson...there has been some talk that he may be the best LT candidate in this draft, but I think that's more a product of the lack of talent in this OT class. Personally I don't see it. While he could do a good job at LT he has generational potential inside.

    I think Shon is our guy, but would not be shocked if we tabbed another prospect like Pittsburgh's Oneill in the 2nd or TCU's Noteboom early on Day 3. Obviously the earlier the move the less comfort there is with Shon. Whereas whether we tab a prospect late depends on our view of Rod Johnson and other OT projects currently rostered, Salako and Schneider.

    I'm with Logic here... plus (and I know this comment is usually reserved for QBs) next year's OT class looks to be among the strongest groups in that Draft.

    I'm usually against trading a high pick for older guys, but it's so hard to find Pro Bowl Left Tackles these days and we've got so many high picks this year with a ton of cap room.  It'd be nice to have a solid OL for the new QB's and RB's to play behind to gain confidence.

    If we can get a couple good seasons out of Brown (maybe more if he's got what Whitworth has in the tank) and draft an OT this year or in the strong draft class next year, it'd give the young guy a season or two or three to develop and take over for Duane Brown once father time hits.

    Kinda on the fence with it though....
