Didn't The OL Work Out Pretty Much As Expected After The Draft?

[mgteich]

I do NOT think that OL situation is much different than what we expected after the draft.

1) Okorafor was signed to start at LT.
2) Sow was moved to LG since Strange was expected to start on the PUP list.
3) Andrews stayed and was extended a year.
4) Robinson was drafted to start at RG, basically expected to replace Mafi.
5) Onwenu was re-signed for big bucks to play RT.
6) Leverett was brought in as a backup at OC and OG, perhaps to start if Robinson wasn't ready.
7) Jake was expected to be the backup center, if not replaced by Leverett.
8) Wallace was drafted as the swing OT.
9) Anderson or Love were the possible 4th OT if needed.
10) Jordan was even brought back as a backup OC/G if needed.

BOTTOM LINE
Okorafor, Sow, Andrews, Robinson, Onwenu is certainly one of the expected set of starters.
Leverett, Wallace and Andrews were an expected set of backups.
Anderson, Jordan, Love and waiver pickups were possible replacements or candidates for 9th and 10th OL.

Nope. Teams like Little Nicky in Houston knew we were going Blake Fisher at 68. He should have been there for the Pats. But they made the strategic error in making their choices so public.

Go back to Dante at NC State’s Pro Day with Joe Thuney.

That’s the way to do it.

In other words, it's as bad as we feared.

No surprises here. We weren't fixing all out problems this offseason no matter how much people whine. I'll be satisfied if we enter 2025 with 4 out of 5 OL positions set.

We’ll see…

If they play well it worked out, if they suck it’s just a group of guys.
