Then said Okaefor is playing LT.

Poor Jacoby

 

[TommyD4207]

I think Plan A is for him to be the Left Tackle. Plan B if he doesn’t transition effectively is for him to be the Right Tackle and then move Onwenu back to Right Guard. You’d still have a question mark at LT but the other four OL spots SHOULD be pretty good and have depth in that situation.

Left Tackle is the one spot on the line where you CAN'T have a question mark, and have a functional offense.

 

[Love The Drake]

I would of liked to see us trade back into the first round for a WR or tackle.

 

[mgteich]

The Wallace pick makes sense if the Patriots had signed a LT in free agency.

It's Ok if you simply don't believe the patriots staff. We did sign a LT.

 

[Patriot Missile]

TJ Tampa cb
Troy Franklin
McMillan

 

[lancerman]

He is 3rd rounder, not a top 10 first rounder. He is a backup LT who will compete this year and next year. Perhaps, he will be a swing OT.

Yeah it's really not worth going crazy over a third round pick. We drafted for need and unfortunately our needs were positions that got savaged early on in the draft.

Yes, we MIGHT have gotten Guyton instead of Polk, Wallace and our 4th rounder we got for trading down.

I suspect that Wolf tried and failed to move up that high with only our 2nd and 3rd.

Q
Michael Onwenu is a Guard but played outside and got payed like a RT.
In my opinion he is a better guard than tackle
Plus we need depth at the tackle positions with starter potential.
He got drafted in the 3rd round.
Not like he is a sure fire starter

We don’t need more depth at RT when we don’t have a quality starting LT

What did we get from the Charger trade down?

49ers 7-round mock draft: Loading up on linemen and adding another McCaffrey

Neither writer chose an offensive tackle in the first round, but both came back with one in the second ... and again in the fourth.

I am not paying for the Athletic, but they had him in the 4th?

 

[Uptown]

 

[Love The Drake]

What did we get from the Charger trade down?

A fourth and gave them a fifth back

 

[upstater1]

Can you show us a mock that had Wallace above a 6th round pick?

I don’t know the kid, but a few people like him, so we will have to wait & see

Not sure what you mean by above a 6th round pick.

But the average of mock drafts had him at 178: 2024 Consensus Big Board | NFL Mock Draft Database

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

What did we get from the Charger trade down?

Pick swap r4 to move up to 110 from 137.

 

[dex13]

Possibly one of the dumbest plans I’ve ever heard of

Let me tell you about this one HC who thought a DC could run an offense.

 

[skinnydog]

He is 3rd rounder, not a top 10 first rounder. He is a backup LT who will compete this year and next year. Perhaps, he will be a swing OT.

Back up to who? Okafor? They should have packaged picks to move back into round 2 and taken one of the actual LTs

 

[Uptown]

 

[VJCPatriot]

Moved up from 137 to 110.

Oh, we only moved up in the 4th instead of getting an extra 4th round pick? OOF. Thought we gained a pick.

Would have liked to see a little more value gained from that move down.

 

[upstater1]

NFL scouts don't publish mock drafts. Mel Kiper and his clones publish mock drafts.
They know much less what NFL scouts know.

Untrue.
A lot of former scouts are involved in publishing mock drafts.
