It's worked for us every year. The difference last year was adding Stafford and OBJ.They are not picking a OC with the top pick. Gonna be a WR…or maybe a RB. Lol
I agree that McSnead have blinders a bit on the OL. Thinking a great QB and elite WR group is what is needed. Give them an adequate OL and they will overcome any OL deficiency (as opposed to the other way around).
Arguably that can work. It did for us last year. But you need amazing health along the OL like last year. Even if we had half the injuries this year, the OL was still not good enough. Even perfect health it was possibly a questionable group. But we’ll never really know because everyone got hurt.
We went 11-5 and made the postseason with an old John Sullivan at C and Jamon Brown at RG. Then we went to the SB with Austin freakin Blythe replacing Brown. We had an off year (but still a 9-7 record) starting 9 including Bobby freakin Evans. Went 10-6 winning a postseason game with Edwards at LG, Blythe at C and Whitworth missing 7 games, where Noteboom filled in admirably. Then we won the SB with Brian Allen at C (when we could have had Creed Humphrey), Edwards at LG and top of the second round bust Austin Corbett at RG. Who btw, got a pretty nice contract from Carolina thanks.to McVay. This year we had 4 of our starting 5 out by week 6 and lost 3 backups in the next 4 weeks. 3-7, go figure.
I feel confident they're going to acquire a new center, in the draft if they can't sign one. They'd be fools to bank on Allen's knees. Poor kid has been healthy 1 year since 2019. I am inclined to think they will grab a RB first and a C next. But if I've learned one thing from their draft history it's they don't usually do what we think they will do.
