Swooped in on that, didn't they?

Well on the Bright side the Oline can’t be worse.

We needed to do this.

Do we have anyone who was here when Jake Andrews was a rookie? He got hurt really early in camp last year if I recall and I believe the offensive staff is entirely turned over since he was a rookie. Might be very, very limited knowledge on staff as I think it's only the assistant OL coach from last year still here, who didn't get much time with JAndrews last year.

I do think McDaniels probably has a good enough relationship with BB though that he can dial up the phone and get good info though, it just won't be first hand from McDaniels or the offensive staff themselves for a lot of guys.

He started 2 games as a rookie and played well. Last games of the season

Right, but those were at LG not C.

Bradbury is fine. I’d like to draft Jake Majors in the 4th or so.

Majors and the #2 and #3 ranked Centers all seem to have solid potential. Majors is a big dude. In understand he's an excellent run blocker, but needs work as a pass protector (but that can be coached into him). I don't know if he's a Day 1 Starter at Center, but he could be solid by mid-season or later. Hes worth a Day 3 Pick.

Strange, Sow, and J Andrews were injured last year. It was a bit unusual. Robinson did not inspire any confidence, other than stonewalling bull rushers, but he could take a Y2 jump. Lots of balls in the air. BB liked Sow, Strange, and J Andrews so stay positive.

Sow was active for 12 games, pretty sure he was a healthy inactive in others.
We desperately need to add IOL. These guys aren’t the answers.
