Re: Lelito early favorite for starting job at LG
 

I think part of the reason was the worry over Evans injury. If he started Lelito at C and Evans went down you are reshuffling multiple positions compared to having Lelito slot in where needed.

I like Lelito as a G, he will be fine there, but drafting another G/C like Garcia to compete at either posision will only solidify those 2 positions being solid even if someone goes down. I would like to get a swingman for the T position also.

we are going to need to draft a guard anyway. Evans' cap hit is even worse next year, and he'll be 32 by pre-season. An old 32.

some good OT to OG in this years draft for sure,

Re: Lelito early favorite for starting job at LG
 

Lets look at the current competition for that 2nd OG spot...

Senio Kelemete
Andrew Miller
Tim Lelito

Gee, I'm shocked that Lelito is the early favorite.

I've been an advocate of drafting O-line in the first........but I'm coming around to the idea of drafting some good prospects in the middle rounds instead and getting impact players in the early rounds.
