Foster is completely off my radar, so I thought it was a typo. |

Would you guys take Mims in the first round? He looks like a complete boom/bust prospect. It's doubtful he could start in year one with only 8 starts at RT in his career.

I would. He’s massive and can move. He comes across as intelligent. YouTube his interviews. He’s bigger than Orlando brown jr. He’s built solid. With the work that he’s done on his body and in his workouts, he doesn’t appear to be lazy. He had 5.07 40 at his size and he didn’t look flabby when he ran it. I’d move up like we did for mcduffie and get Mims. I’d also bring in a vet LT like smith to compete with him.

I thought people were trying to talk themselves into Foster in the 2nd -- "I'm thinking about the kid from Missouri" and that was just crazy-town to me. |

We're not getting anywhere near a sure-fire LT, guys. Not happening.
A RT, perhaps, maybe even one that MIGHT be able to switch, but that's the best we'll be able to do. I wouldn't complain if they take a kid with the athletic abilities and let Taylor, Morris, and the kid figure it out, but we're not going to be in position to get a legit starter LT. |

Alt and Fashanu - end of list. Fuaga is interesting in his own right but if we're dinging for arm length, his are like 1/5 of an inch longer than Morgan's. And he's less athletic or technically sound than Morgan, IMO. Fautanu is probably my OT3 and even he played RT last year (though that was evidently because Penix is a lefty and he played LT before that, so I'm less concerned there). But if he's there at 15 am I giving up 2 first rounders and Sneed to get up and get him? When I can possibly just get Morgan or Suamataia at 32? No. not even a consideration. I think he's the clear 3rd best fit for us but I don't think he's THAT much of a sure thing. If he slides to 24 or something and I can give up a 3 and some change next season to go get him - sure. But that strikes me as unlikely. I just think we spend an awful lot of time picking nits on guys as though we'll EVER see someone in the late 1st that doesn't have 'em. Every single guy we draft in the Mahomes era is likely to be in the bottom 1/3 of the round. And as a consequence, every last one of those guys is going to have us shitting on them for what they're not. Let's stop doing that. |
