I think Remmers is now our most important FA. But I don’t feel as bad bc I think Rankin needs more time to rehab. He was a rock solid G in 2019 but has looked poor this year.

I would be open to signing Jason Peters. Yes he’s old but he’s still pretty solid and he would be cheap. Oh and he’s an Andy Reid guy.

We need G’s but Andy has proven he can get quality G’s late in LDT, Fulton and most recently Allegretti (what a find!). I’d like Andy to take at least one G in the 5th or 6th rd.

I think our biggest needs are still receiver and pass rusher and C.

We really need a receiver badly bc if something happens to Tyreek or Kelce? Then the offense will really be in trouble.

They need two tackles and at least one of them needs to be a vet, IMO.

I guess we will see.

I think so too.

I would be really tempted to shop their first rounder around to some of the teams looking to really rebuild and see if they'd swing a pick for a LT.

The Lions, the Falcons, maybe the Eagles with Dillard.

If you could get one of those guys for 32 and next years 3rd, I'd be interested.

I agree with a lot of this.

We need to make sure we have a steady influx of play makers. No amount of OL help is going to keep Mahomes from getting murdered if he's missing one of his safety outlets. He's got to be able to get rid of the ball.

They could easily go with a stop gap if Fisher were back in 2022 but as of right now, that's only happening if he signs an extension, during an injury year.

You're making a major leap of faith saying that Fisher will be the same. There's a very good chance he'll never be the same player again.

It would help a ton if they can talk Mitchell into 1 more year and he holds RT steady.

I'd see about Rankin at LT. He was ok at guard last year, I don't know about "rock solid". IF he coudl play LT well, that would be huge.

Peters is so ancient. I'd be hesistant there. I'd keep Remmers over that.

It's situations like this where you always just have to keep stocking talent on your roster. You don't know where holes will occur or when things pop up.

Usually when you lose a LT like this, you're gonna have to pay to get one somewhere.

I woudln't be upset trying to keep Osemele around another year or two on a nice cheap deal.

Just keep in mind that the big reason Rankin is a Chiefs and Tunsil is a Texan is because Rankin was AWFUL at tackle.

For sure.

Just from a cost standpoint, being able to have Rankin there making peanuts woudl really help alleviate some cost elsewhere.

I figure, from a financial standpoint you've got LT slated to always be highly paid so that woudln't be an issue here

Would try to keep Remmers at G or RT and Peters at LT. Either way I think Remmers is a must sign even if Schwartz is okay.

Give that man a raise and bring him back. He’s cheap

Say if the Lions wanna rebuild fully, see if they'd trade you Decker for 32 and maybe next years 3rd or the Bienemy 3rd?

Absolutely on the table, in my opinion.

We actually have a direct precedent for this with Brett Veach.

Gotta think they'd want more than that for Decker but if they'd do it, you jump at the chance. Still young.

A 1st and throw in a few kneecaps.
