Broderick Jones

As much as I would concur with you on the upcoming 2024 NFL FA Class, Lloyd Cushenberry, Tyler Biadasz and Connor Williams are essentially.. more or less of what the class is; more info here. Problem is and, as discussed greatly on the board, even above average Centers are seldom in FA and if they are, usually command a good asking price. J.C. Hassenauer would be a good pickup.... for a bridge option.


I'd still recommend drafting Sedrick Van Pran in Round 1 as he is the only plug n play Center there is in the class. Zach Frazier could potentially do so as well but might be scheme dependent in comparison. I will say though that Graham Barton from the University of Duke could warrant some consideration.


Dude has played multiple positions along the Offensive Line. He currently is a Left Tackle but he has played Center before and, to my eyes, he can maximize his skills there. As I say this though, say hello to the Peter Skoronski of Offensive Lineman.. with a twist. People though Tyler Linderbaum was a freak coming out... wait till they see a big man with blindside protector level feet anchor in the middle!!...


..... which leads me to the fact he is likely going bye bye as he is a Top 20 Pick.

 

This reminds me. They passed on Biadasz to take McFarland. Oy.

 

I can't remember what I posted here, but I wanted them to take Biadasz in the third round ahead of McFarland or in the fourth ahead of Dotson. Oops.

Looks like the coaches saw what we all saw. Jones is starting Sunday at right tackle.

 

it is not often the coaches see what we see!!!!

there is light at the end of the road.....

 

Old news

 

I hadn't seen it, but I'll take your word for it. I'm just happy they are sticking with Jones.

 

I hate those type of tweets as they try to make something out of nothing. Chuks was raw when they got him, a mountain of a man but he is a teddy bear. If he grabbed a defense lineman an pancakes him time and time again he'd be starting. Thursday at least showed that some of the oline was spoiling for a fight.

 

Such a huge impact for our run game!

 

To be fair, part of that is him playing well and part is getting Okorafor out of the lineup.

 

Jones is the TRUTH!
