SS vs OG


Recommended Posts

OG....not because the players are worse, but order of priority.

i think it depends on the prospect. like if we're drafting and its between either the number one rated SS vs the number three rated OG. you would think we'd take the safety even if guard is more important.

Oh, you meant specific to the draft. Absolutely, draft the better player not the more needed one.

To be clear, both are typically positions where teams do NOT spend a 1st round draft pick on UNLESS there is a premium player available. Because you can typically get a SS or OG in later rounds, or certainly after the 1st.

I'm not sure if you're couching your comment in terms of which is the bigger priority, or the bigger priority for the 1st round?

For me, for this year at least, I'd say OG, only because my number one priority is protecting Andrew and making the offense run properly. We are a well below average pass blocking team, and a horrible run blocking team. So, Guard over Safety would be my priority.

That said, we certainly need another top-notch Safety. I'm talking starter material.

In terms of just the three picks we know we have, 1, 3 and 4... (we'll figure out other possible picks later) my priority would be offensive line first, best pass rusher in the 3rd, Safety in the 4th...

Now, all of that could change depending on what we do in Free Agency, as well as where we select in the draft.

Lots of variables. Too early to know. But those are my priorities as of late September.

    • Trade him? He just handed him a nice extension.
    • Yes, thanks, you’re right. When the Panthers traded to get the 1 is when Ballard said he didn’t have all the information to make the trade. That’s strange to me.  “Didn’t want to make a blind decision without all the information,” Ballard told reporters Monday. “I know for people, they might not understand that. But I think history kind of tells you that when you do that, you better know what you’re getting. And we weren’t quite ready to do that at that time. And then we feel like there’s enough depth in the draft that we were gonna be okay.”   This was in late March. Ballard had a chance to get the 1 and use it to take Stroud not Young. I think it’s strange he said he didn’t move up to 1 because it would have been a “blind decision.” Why would it be a blind decision in March? Why wouldn’t you know what you’re getting? You’re getting whoever you want if you get the 1. It didn’t happen, but Ballard could have recognized that Stroud was going to be superior, could have made the trade and could have drafted him. Ballard admits it never occurred to him to attempt the trade because it would be a “blind decision.” 
    • I cringed after seeing the way his leg bent underneath him to the point of him sitting down on it. Buckner is one tough dude and to see him needing help to get off the field is when I knew he was going to be out for a while.
    • He probably felt confident Bowers would still be on the board at 15 once he made it past NYJ at 11.  He could've been trading up with other teams to move up to get Brock Bowers, but unfortunately, the Raiders had their eyes set on him and took him at 13.
    • Not now...   Let the year play out. Maybe at the end of the season...
