Falconsfan567 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Dan Quinn just mentioned something I've tried to explain to folks on here but it falls on deaf ears. The quality and level of offensive linemen coming out of the draft these days has been way down from the standard we got used to seeing in the 80s and 90s.

shock Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 So we’ll most likely grab a offensive tackle in the 1st or 2nd OilFuturesTrader19 and Draftnut57 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the overall sentiment, but don't see all that talent at OL in this year's draft. Maybe they mean values in the 3rd round? Doesn't seem like any truly elite talent OTs this year.

I just know from hearing former offensive linemen speak and NFL coaches speak about how the quality of offensive linemen coming out these days is way down from what it used to be and they're having to take so much time to teach guys the basic fundamentals. Guys lack that because they don't have to learn it in high school and college because of all these up tempo spread offenses that really don't require the offensive linemen do be great in order for them to have success.

high impact Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Well they could have let the AAF do that. I was looking forward to that league. Then we could have football year round. red falcon, Drew4719, PokerSteve and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an offensive line crisis in the NFL. People act like it is simple to just go get good o-linemen, but the reality is half the league is fielding lines that include guys who would have only been backups a few years ago. The talent pool is kiddie sized at this point and there just aren't enough good ones to go around. JeffAtl and Falconsfan567 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With good coaching you can take a guy who was terrible early on in their career (like Ty Sambrailo) and turn him into a serviceable starter. He is never going to be a star or world beater, but just getting solid play out of the position is an improvement over last year.

And if all guys out of college are going to require training anyway...you can get 4th rounders with good traits and train them. I'm for 1st round OL and DL when they're worth it. But if all/most OL are going to take 2 years, may as well spend a later pick on talent, so you can spend earlier picks on DL, etc. But if that true talent that's ready to play comes along...definitely worth grabbing as early as needed.

The quality and level of offensive linemen coming out of the draft these days has been way down from the standard we got used to seeing in the 80s and 90s. I just want a consistent top 10 Defense. Watching them trying to get to the QB was painful in 2018 (I know we had injuries but still), and when they let oldman Brees score a TD, I don't think I've been that mad in a while Now that it looks like the FO is trying to fix the O-line woes in FA and some of the pickups have look pretty decent (at least on paper), so maybe Quinn and TD can can focus at least 80% of the draft on the D.
