[QUOTE="Sanguine camper, post: 1034191, member: 9744"] I think this draft class has some good picks but it has way too many players that were reaches. History has shown that reaches don't pan out very often. There's especially a huge opportunity cost of reaching in the top half of the draft. Despite the picks, the draft class left the o line vulnerable. Where does Morgan play? Is he a guard or a tackle? His agility is so poor that he skipped the agility drills. That suggests he's a guard. He did all the other drills so I doubt skipping agility had anything to with anything but hiding a weakness. If so, Tom stays at RT and a poor center who was a draft reach continues to start. Who's the swing tackle? Is Morgan vastly superior to Shawn Ryhan at RG? If he plays RG the upgrade for a first round pick may be minimal. Hopper and Williams were 6th round talents. Gute could've drafted better o line talent instead. Where do they even play? Monk and Glover were 7th round talents. To think they can realistically help out the o line as rookies is wishful thinking. Despite the 11 picks, Gute's frequent reaches in this draft have likely resulted in a minimal upgrade to the o line situation. One or two injuries and the season is undone because the depth isn't reliable using a slew of UDFA's, 7th round talents, and Royce Newman. Now that the dust has settled, Gute's Achilles heal of frequently reaching for players has left the 2024 season highly vulnerable to an o line disaster. [/QUOTE]
