I would sooner see us look at middle linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga as a potential ratio breaker down the road.

Even when we lose Speller, we're pretty deep. We'll probably have to go out and replace Bryant at some point but we're not drafting an LT.

January 19, 20214 yr Author comment_495037 I'm a big believer that you can never have enough quality NI OL, and I think Walters is a believer in that, too. I fully expect us to take OL with a pick that high...

I fully expect us to take OL with a pick that high... I don't disagree in principle. But at some point we are going to start losing these guys for nothing because they will leave for opportunities elsewhere.
January 20, 20214 yr comment_495082 I think BPA this year given our OL situation. Also don't see us taking a FB in round 2.
January 20, 20214 yr comment_495084 I think it's best to do a future pick this draft. A player that will sign with NFL and might stay there for a bit (kinda like Gray). We still have our 2020 picks to figure out if they belong (although no OL). We don't have glaring needs, maybe few ST'ers especially when Briggs, Miles, Exume & Rush will not re-sgin.

I would sooner see us look at middle linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga as a potential ratio breaker down the road. I think you should probably draft an NI ol every single year. Doesnt mean he has to be a guy whose a high pick though. Due to the glutt of ol talent we've let go some pretty good developmental OL guys in the previous few years. I think that continues, but I dont think a high pick OL is likely at all.
January 21, 20214 yr comment_495235 Honestly I could see DL being an area they target with a high pick.
January 21, 20214 yr comment_495236 I could still see them taking an OL. Although, I hope not. Argument being that you will lose them to injury, retirement, free agency, etc. and it's best to always be developing the next one(s). Maybe Walters picks an NFL bound player with the hopes that they shake loose?
January 21, 20214 yr Author comment_495237 another thing to keep in mind is that we still haven't seen last year's picks in a camp yet. There's going to be so many bodies this year, I wonder if they go with futures picks, if for no other reason than we've got too many people to properly evaluate as it is and don't want to add to it...
January 22, 20214 yr comment_495331 White receiver with weird hair and a frail body with our first pick
January 22, 20214 yr comment_495346 I trust our Canadian scouting (though it would have been much more difficult this year). Positional needs likely won't factor into the decision unless its an offensive lineman. After that it's picking BPA with some consideration of NFL opportunities.

People seem to forget that you can find Olinemen outside the first round. Teams will have a chance at a ratio breaking MLB and couple CBs, this year.

But like he said they draft mostly based on film and production, they arent Al davis drafting who every wins the work out portion of the combine. I will miss the 1 on 1s though, I think thats a big loss.
March 30, 20214 yr Author comment_501296 I honestly think the one-on-one interviews are going to weigh HEAVILY.... getting a sense of a kid's personality/attitude will mean a lot.

Osh only needs to know if the kid is tough enough to wear shorts in a Winnipeg winter. The rest can be taught. 😅

I think thats always huge for the canadian mafia. They always look for guys who are tough nasty and very football smart.
