Lelito early favorite for starting job at LG
 


I hope the competition is between Lelito and 1st/2nd round player from this draft. Not Lelito vs some scrub.

So who would our back-up C be if Lelito wins the job?

Lelito... we would have another backup Guard.

Regardless, the O line is due for some youth.

When the season starts,
Streif will be 32
Evans will be 32
Unger will be 29

I'd be content with Lelito starting at guard, he's done it before and played well...

He was also the early favorite to start at center this year... and then we called Goodwin's agent

OL coach need to be fired for not switching Lelito to the starter & bench Goodwin

of course tim is the fav, who else is left on the depth chart? ok micky once again states the obvious.

draft better have at least one swing player in there

I keep hoping we are taking a guard at some point...

This I like. I believe in Lelito. Still want us to take an OL-player in one of the first two rounds.

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,

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.
