Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Ozzie would still select Humphrey over Davis, Williams, and Ross even in a scenario in which all available at our pick. It sounded like he coveted Hason Reddick more than anyone, and then Derek Barnett as a fallback option, but both were taken.
Also, I'd actually like to see them move on from Pitta. An unpopular opinion, but he gets no separation or yds after the catch anymore. All he does is run a 5-yd hook or flat, taking what the defense gives him, and gets tackled. Any TE can do that, so I'd rather watch a youngin like Maxx, Crockett, or Waller play (I think Boyle moves to FB to replace Juszczyk as an underused mismatch in the passing game).
I'm actually not too concerned about OL. Siragusa looked like a good player in his Draft Breakdown vids. I think he beats out whoever his competition is for the LG spot, just like Alex Lewis did last season (both were/are 4th round rookies, so we know our coaching staff has no qualms about starting rookies if they earn it). I think Jensen beats out Urschel for the starting C spot since Jensen is actually a mauler in the run game; however, he'll miss defenders when sending the blitz, but this offense should be more run-oriented if Greg Roman has any say in how it runs, and that favors Jensen over Urschel. Urschel gets no push in the run game and makes terrible snaps on occasion, but he's good in pass-pro.
I forgot they were talking about moving Senor Steroids to FB. I would definitely support that, as his strength was blocking anyway, but he has usable hands. I could actually see that going really well.
Pitta is meh. If he can show a bit more this year than last (after finally being healthy for an extended period of time) I'd be ok with him staying, but I don't think anyone is pretending he's anything like he was pre hip cancer.
Can't say much about who we drafted at O Line, as I really only get ready for the first two days of the draft. Still though, we've found O Line gems late before, so I wouldn't be surprised if we did again this year. We'll have to see how camp plays out.
Whatever happened to the Nick Mangold rumors? He hasn't signed with anybody has he? I've been pretty busy lately and haven't paid as close of attention as I should have.
