clownorg Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 na, just depth and if we can't get the guard we are targeting at least he's there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Good insurance.... I like Chester coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Don't know the details but makes me think maybe we won't go guard in the draft. Maybe between Person and Chester they think there's a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sarcomere Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Rewatched the game against Dallas recently and he was opening up some big running lanes for Freeman. Don't know how much he has left in the tank but even if he's just depth, I like the signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeitdown Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hope it doesn't change anything. Leaving the center of the pocket to 3 guards who do poorly in pass blocking is a bad move. Likely just insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe between Person and Chester they think there's a starter. I think there's still a pretty large probability that we draft an o-lineman. They didn't waste a bunch of time scouting that many if it wasn't gonna be a real possibility. Chester was recovering from surgery I believe. We had probably extended the offer to him a while back & he was just waiting to see how his body was doing & if he had any better offers coming his way. Being so close to the draft, he knows that nobody's going to offer him much when they could just draft a much younger player, so he accepted our offer finally. He'll be quality depth, but IMO likely not a starter unless someone else goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'd feel better about Chester starting, Persons doesn't really inspire much confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxatlanta Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 He was better than Levitre in the run game and they both were poor in pass protection. Good depth and possibly more if Mack raises everyone's level of play. Still want at least 1 permanent fix at OG from this draft and don't mind if they need a yr to develop.

GeorgiaBoyz Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I like it, good depth & insurance just incase we can't upgrade the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 nice, I was hoping we would do that. Doesn't change much, even if we draft OG 3rd or 4th round, we can have Chester for a year as insurance/depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malak07 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A draft Pick in Mid Rounds on top of... Person, Chester, and Levitre at least makes me feel we got solid depth across the Oline might not be the best talent but they are all serviceable.

Maybe between Person and Chester they think there's a starter. IMO we *have* to go G/C in the draft. I'd get a G in the 3rd or 4th and pick up a C to develop in the 7th so he can learn behind Mack. We abso-lutely must build our lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth B Told (TRU) Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I still think they will draft a guard in the draft, but now they don't have to press to get one and overreach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We're not drafting an interior offensive lineman in the first 4 picks anyway. Kyle Shanahan led offenses dont draft them early. Only once has a Kyle Shananhan led offense drafted an interior offensive linemen and that was a center in the 3rd round when he was with the Texans. Even when Boy Wonder had his papa as head coach an interior offensive linemen wasnt taken until the 5th round at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 This is a good move. At worst, he's a mediocre starter, good run blocker/OK pass blocker. We still might sign Washington's center as well, if/when they cut him after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 hopefully insurance, granted everyone will hopefully look better with mack now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
