This would be my gut as well. I think they prefer Tyler at LG and you sure as hell can't go with Edoga and company at LT. It's too important of a position. I just hope if we do this Bass has transitioned to center well. I really like Bass.

If there is one position that the hillbillies deserve credit it is OL, so I'll be optimistic whichever one they pick at 24.

Outside of Paul I'll give then the benefit of the doubt on the Oline. I don't think I can do Patrick Paul in the first and blindly have faith.

Chuma doesn't appreciate the disrespect given here.

He shouldn't but I'd fucking prefer to roll the dice on Asim at LT, it was that bad. Ultimately I don't even know that I want to trust a rookie 24th overall pick at the position. But if we are dead set on not moving Tyler that's our best option.

Me personally, I'd move Tyler to LT and never look back. I think he could be just as much of an impact LT as a LG. He is just that good. Think young Trent Williams at LT. And then go find some bad ass interior guys.

In that scenario I would like either Brian Thomas or Barton followed by a Cooper Beebe.

Just scares me that we may be seeing Hoffman with significant playing time.

If I'm drafting a guard Beebe is great, but I also am a big fan of Haynes and Mahogany. You give me one of those three and I feel good. Assuming that Bass can play center. And I still follow it up with a center later like Nourzad or Limmer who I both like. I'm a fan of Van Pran as well but I don't think he makes it past the third round. We can't really do that unless we have extra picks because we have forced ourselves into RB in the first three rounds. I'd be very uncomfortable waiting until the fifth round for a RB. This team just isn't good enough at picking RB's to do that.

Speaking of guards no one talks about Zinter is a guy I haven't paid much attention to and you never hear talked about. But he is supposedly a real bully in the run game. He may be a dude I'm overlooking if we want a guard. We all talk about OT and Center. But with all the moving parts guard isn't a bad option if Tyler is kicking to LT and Bass is going to center. But maybe that's too many guys moving positions.

Yeah, that fuckin’ guy who lives in his parent’s basement in Queens was far more entertaining than today’s cosplayers.
Thanks for reminding me of all the dumbass guest picks we do now. Here is Billy Joe fan of the year of some shit team to make the pick...

What I'm looking forward to the most is Chicago using every second of the clock even tho everyone knows they are taking the cake boy from USC.
The suspense isn't killing you? I don't even think they have pretended like there are other legitimate options.

I brought up Zinter a few times on the last draft podcast if you haven't listened.
