So, it seems that most are expecting a OL pick in the first round...

BUT....

if Nix or Penix fall to 14, do you take them?

Penix better be able to run and avoid contact if they drafted him over a lineman. Because that line would be lucky to stop a college team

Dude ran an unofficial 4.46/ 40! That's legit speed. Word is he looks for the throws and rarely runs. But if he can be taught WHEN to run (ie. Jackson) he's going to be special.

I think Penix will fall close to, or into the 2nd round. No world in which I’d draft Bo Nix.

James Hurst hasn’t been all that great last several seasons.

The timing of this announcement is crazy though.

God help us we better not trade our 2025 1st round pick. We have the kind of offensive line that could make that pick #1 overall if things dont go our way, and even if we can trade it to move up to a second first rounder late in the round or move up a few spots this first round, nobody we can draft is a guarantee to solve all our oline problems instantly. When the levee is about to breach, thats nots when you cancel the insurance policy for one extra sandbag.

I just read a report that OT Troy Fautana has a medical flag 😔.

Specifically a knee issue that could impact his longevity.

Some have mocked him to N.O.
