Texas A&M OT Cedric Ogbuehi measured in with the second longest arms (35 7/8") among offensive linemen at the NFL Combine.

Only Florida's Trent Brown's arms are longer (36"). A favorite of Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris, Ogbuehi tore his ACL in the Aggies' bowl game and will also have to clear medical checks in Indianapolis. A surefire first-round pick before the injury, Ogbuehi may now be on the top-50 fringe.


If we resign Worlids/sign a FA OLB and draft a corner in rd 1 I would not be opposed to taking this guy in rd 2. Beachum could move to LG easily and this badass could play LT.
 
Cedric Ogbuehi was moved to RT also and has missed games with injury. I would be ok taking a flier on him but not in round one or two at this point.
 
I would draft a O-lineman (RT) somewhere within rounds 4 -7.,
 
IMO, Anytime you can get a blue chip LT or a shutdown corner in RD1 you should take him.
 
South Carolina G A.J. Cann measured in at 6'3" and 313 lbs at the NFL Combine.

Cann has 32 5/8" arms and 10 1/4" hands. The Gamecock has a chance to be the first true guard off the board, since he could fit in offenses that ask their blockers to attack face up and zone/slant block.

-If we re-sign Worlids and draft a corner in rd 1, would you guys be opposed to drafting a replacement for Foster in rd 2?
 
Defense needs depth. I'd not pick an olineman until round 3 at the earlyest.

If only Mike Pouncey would become UFA and we could sign him at LG. Looks like they're working on an extension to keep him in Miami.
 
Hell no....we HAVE TO DRAFT DEFENSE. Offense is good enough

Pass rusher, corner, safety, we need help every where on defense. We need to spend the first 3-4 picks on the defense.
 
We need to find a TE to fill Heath's shoes. That's my only note on the offensive side of the ball besides a true backup RB. Heath's probably going to decline quickly at this stage of his career.

I disagree, hes been steady. Not an all-star for sure, but we could do a lot worse.

We could, sure, but IMO Wallace was heads-and-shoulders better than foster from the play I saw, yet somehow we kept trotting out foster. Far as I can tell, we already had a better player standing on the sidelines. So yeah, we could do worse, but there's no doubt we could do better as well, especially when "better" is already on the roster

The funny thing is they keep trying to replace Foster and he keeps beating out the replacements going back to when he replaced Kemoteu. I agree Wallace played well, but the coaching staff sees both guys in practice and im sure Foster is starting for a reason. I consider Foster steady, reliable, serviceable . . .not saying hes the best RG in the game. We have bigger issues than OLINE right now. Eventually he will be replaced but i see him starting until his contract is up. By then, i hope, we will have someone younger with more upside groomed and ready to go.

Truer words were never spoken, the only thing I would add to this is a franchise QB, best to get one before you need one if possible.

I don't know why people don't like Beachum at LT...

I love Beachum.....but if he goes down, we're done and Ben is screwed.

We need a competent OT who can play LT in the rotation because Gilbert and Adams can't get it done.

I'm thinking Foster is the LEFT Guard? No he definately isn't the best or medium, R or L gaurd in the NFL. He seems good, but when you put turds agains a turd, then its just a question of which is the biggest smelliest... His competition in camp / practice has been below medium for quite some time. An above average, 4th rnd persay, should be able to beat him out.
