Drafting an OG

There's a lot of talk about drafting Zeitler at 34 if he's there. There's also a lot of debate over the same topic. Who do you think the best values at OG are? Players that can come in and start right away without spending such a high pick? If any.

Only guard that I'd spend a pick on that might have a shot of hitting 34 is Cordy Glenn. Outside of him and DeCastro I don't see one worth it at 34.

Any guards you wouldn't mind drafting in later rounds?

Even though it's not a sexy pick, I wouldn't mind Zeiter at 34.

I wouldn't mind that pick either. I was just wondering if you guys thought there were any guards of starting caliber that would be available later in the draft.

I would take an OG if there was one available that was better than what is currently on the roster..............but, Grigson saying he is happy with what they have could be a smokescreen or a precursor? We will know in a couple days if that was meant to disguise his intentions or.............

Adam Gettis and Lucas Nix should be available late the fourth or early in the fifth.

One I've had my eye on is Ryan Miller from Colorado. He's got the physical part (6'6-6'7 320-325lbs) and is good in run blocking and in a pinch might be able to play left tackle. I think with some coaching his pass blocking can improve (I saw a play where he pretty much was bullied cause he played extremely high...skyscraper high) a lot.

When's he projected to go?

Derek Dennis, Temple 6'5 328 Moves well, but needs to play 'lower'

Jeff Allen, Illinois 6'5 315 Good pass blocker, decent run blocker

Mark Asper, Oregon 6'7 325 Good run blocker, decent pass blocker

I know we need one but I would be a lil upset of we use our 2nd pick on a G, especially with very good skilled position players there. We've done enough with our O-Line to where we don't need to use our 2nd or 3rd pIck on one unless we get more picks via some trade

I agree with that.... it appears that the 2nd tier of OGs such as Zeitler / Silatolu / Osemele become values from #40 thru #64... so I wouldn't mind one of those guys in that range whether it be thru a trade-down or with our #64 pick.

Hopefully, Grigson's own experience as an O-lineman shows itself well in whatever OGs we might draft, because the position has been bargain-shopped for far too long.... and without much success.

      Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !

      Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By stitches · Posted

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
