FalconsIn2012 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) I would love it if we sign this man to take Levitre’s spot. If we are looking for a quality veteran at a good price, he is a great option. It would solidify the left side of our line and leave us with a single glaring need: RT. You don’t want to start 2 rookies along the OL, so it makes sense to have something like: LT: Jake Matthews LG: Quinton Spain C: Alex Mack RG: Fusco RT: address with 2nd round pick Edited January 6, 2019 by Falconsin2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiruz Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yeah I'll take either, show me that you are serious about building an Oline rather than spackling one together. We should be done with spackle jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Proxy Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 While I believe we need a FA OL and DL move by the draft, do we really want an OL coming off injury? What was his injury extent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trubirdfan4life Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 1st round tackle 2nd round guard this fixes the offense. the defense won't be fixed with this draft. it will be better though. let's get back to scoring 28+ points per game and have a defense ranking 10th to 15th. we need to invest in the Oline heavily.

I'd free up the cap space and go hard for em. They are young established vets that could come in and clean up the mess on day one and allow us to go BPA in the draft. TEN, CHI and NE will likely try to hold onto em though. Spain is more of a mauler but nimble enough to get to the edge and the second level. Here's some of their college tape: LG - Quinton Spain - West Virginia - 6'4" - 330lbs - 27 years old RT - Bobby Massie - Mississippi - 6'6" - 317lbs - 29 years old NT - Malcom Brown - Texas - 6'2" - 320lbs - 24 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Levite’s isn’t new money. I do think we may have enough cap space for 1 mid tier LOS move in FA and 1 higher end; not max contract FA obviously. Cutting Alford or restructuring. Cut means $7.9M in space. Cutting Reed is $4.5M. Bradley (Beasley I’m leaving the autocorrect ROFL) can not have $13M as Today projects. #NotWorth Schraeder’s contract makes more sense to restructure or cut being viable if post 6/1 designation. That doesn’t help early FA and we’d have to hope later 6/1 cuts are still around. I do think UFA OG is less likely to destroy our cap space than OT. Same goes for true DT than DE. Get McCoy on a rental with a SB shot to end his career and upgrade one OG spot. Then, OL/DL in rounds 1 and 2. Possibly trading up into high 2nd for a falling player that is still on our board.

Osiruz Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'd like to sign McCoy away from the bucs as well. The guy is an absolute beast. Give me him and Spain and the FA would be a win for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not a fit in his offense, is he a fit in Atlanta? I guess it depends on our new direction on the OL if we employ and install further scheme adjustments. Quinn says we are keeping zone but with scheme adjustments; so if power comes around in some form?? Otherwise, our right side OL is far more an issue. Even Wes started looking okay between Mack and Matthews. Just need 1 hidden OL liability as worst case. I see 2 major OL moves. Hard to see 3 capital expenses for the OL specifically that warrant day 1 starting without winning job in offseason. That means more than likely an in-house player at one OG spot to start the season; unless beaten. Conversely, it may mean 2 new OGs and current OGs are only depth; while Ty is RT. Hard time seeing 2 rookie OL and a priority FA OL. Edited January 6, 2019 by Ergo Proxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve played together for 2-3 years already and no one another well.Thats half the battle for these new line man getting up to speed and developing a combination.If you drafted these 2 your halfway there.

And protecting Ryan is incredibly important, I'd be just fine with spending whatever it takes. Could re-sign Ty to play RT while a rookie develops.
