It's not a given but Mauigoa, Fano, Freeling, Ioane (and possibly Proctor) I think go before Iheanachor. It'll be close.
The Texans must feel really good about getting one of the top tackles in the draft this year. They certainly have the draft capital to move up.
Typical Browns, overpay for Average.............but I will say he was one of the better O Lineman for us. IMO I don't think Blake Fisher makes the team this year so what's the plan now??
I don't think Fisher earns that spot, he hasn't been good at all, they probably go with a rookie or bring back Trent. I'm surprised the browns are still doing business with the Texans, massive overpay but he's decent and he'll be available for 85% of the games for whoever is qb there
The Texans OL has gone through some major revamping in a span of 2 seasons. Maybe they get it right this time around… but wow, it is incredible how many changes have happened to the OL, which is supposed to age like fine wine. An elite OL will make an average QB look like a perennial pro-bowler. Just look at the Cowboys, who’ve always stressed building the elite OL’s.
Please tell me you were not thinking Scruggs and Howard were going to age like fine wine. They need a solid group before they can let them age into that.
Scruggs was terrible but Howard was decent. He was our 2nd best OL last year. I hope he can be replaced. I won't hold my breath.
Howard turned into ordinary table wine and Scruggs yielded vinegar. Safe to say no fine wine with either of those guys. So the search continues to find legit pillar of synergy at OL; easier said than done. Texans just have to pilfer whoever is building the NFL elite lines.
All I want out of our o linemen is that they are either Samoan or grew up on a farm. They also need to enjoy eating aluminum cans. The nastier the disposition the better…
With Linderbaum likely going back to BAL or out of our price range, here's an article that looks at some other options. We haven't really talked about Connor McGovern but I love his size, experience, skillset and versatility. He's likely in the $15-$17M range, but having a vet center who can also play LG would be a coup for this OL. Mays is a couple of years younger and may have more upside. Would love to add either guy to help solidify key spot on our rebuilding OL. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/three-free-agent-centers-washington-120000168.html
Gotta think since Josh has more juice with the Bills now... they keep his center. But yeah... he is also going to want a F ton of $$$
I'm thinking we might see Eluemunor since Ferentz has some familiarity there. Wouldn't shock me if they bought very low on Evan Neal too. To be clear: not what I would do.
What I hope they dont do is depend on Brown and Fisher to man the RT position next yr. I'm a big fan of bringing Brown back and drafting a RT.
Texans OL Trade up for Freeling Sign Cade Mays, Jamaree Salyer and Teven Jenkins in FA for 18-20 mil for all three. Draft either Gennings Dunker or Keyan Rutledge. Spend a late rd pick on Trey Zuhn. OL- Ersery/Salyer/Mays/Jenkins or Dunker/ Freeling Reserves- Jenkins or Dunker/Brown/Zuhn/Patterson/Andrews
