Sounds like a lateral move to save $.
Just another G/T depth guy in the J. Jones mold. An emergency potential signing in case Jenkins leaves town with out signing. I'm fine with a guy like Radunz if it's to push 2nd string competition.
You're not going to fix this shopping at the Goodwill store. SPEND THE $MONEY$. Pay once, cry once. Pay 5 times, cry 5 times.
Someone is stubborn... and cheap.

After looking him up, his stats showed that he definitely is a perfect match for our Schneider line. He passed the sniffing by Willi Schneider, now he is entering John Schneider's domain.

2nd round pick in 2021. Maybe he hasn't reached his potential yet. Maybe he has. But Outten worked with him the last 2 years in Tennessee so I think he thinks there is more in him.

Seahawks just announced they are holding a press conference today at 3PM, but I assume it's to announce Cooper Kupp, maybe something more?

Makes me think of that skit on In Living Color.

"I love me some Miss Jenkins. Don't nobody talk about Miss Jenkins, I'll go off!"

Awesome, another dumpster dive special that will get cut after week five when we need the roster spot to pick up Jacob Eason or Nathan Peterman because the OL got both Sams decapitated.

At least it'll be another great opportunity for WSUMatt and CallMeADawg to pretend to not understand why fans wanted to do better with all our cap space, in hopes that Schneider will see their sycophantic posts and invite them to take the Seacopter to Jody Allen's secret island mansion.

Tell us how you really feel?

My sentiment on this issue is that is JS ready to spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on a guard in this years draft that can seriously push for playing time THIS year? Because if he waits till the 3rd/4th/5th round to draft a guard the pickings will be slim. Plus, in those rounds those guards tend to be developmental/borderline spot starters and not really long term starting material. Teams will draft a guard in the 3rd/4th or 5th round to develop them and start them in a year or two with some NFL development But JS doesn't have that luxury anymore and he needs results this year. Haynes was taken in the third round and Laumea in the 6th so what does that mean? On paper Haynes is either going to become a solid spot starter/quality depth and the same with Laumea. In an ideal world Haynes shows he is more than a 3rd rounder and shows he can be a full fledged starter but that is why draft position tends to show how much development time players need relative to others.

A good example is that the Bucs drafted Barton in round 1 in the same draft. Barton was raw at times and his transition to center wasn't smooth but he showed promise for the Bucs revamped rushing attack.

Here is the other layer. If MAC wants to pound the rock out of 12 personnel groupings with Kubiak playcaling this type of offense you need TEs and interior Gs that can push or open holes. Formations become more condensed in 12 personnel which is why you need guards to open holes in this style of offense. You do not have people spread out to make it easier for OL to hit their blocks and the RBs make one quick cut to exploit a spread out defense.

12 personnel is man to man carnage and you need studs on the inside and at TE to make it work. Or, else it will not work and you are better off running 4 WR sets and running draw plays up the middle out of shotgun formations.

It's not like the names at the top of the list weren't also "dumpster dive specials" as has been stated. But you keep doing you.

When 25 teams are all looking for O line help and there's nothing out there to "fix it" then you might want to lower your expectations to be realistic. Only one team, maybe two got better at the position. That 2nd is a BIG maybe. The draft is the way to go.

That feeling when you think you're getting Drew Dalman and Will Fries...

But end up with Josh Jones and Dillon Radunz...

Like JS said:
“So, what does that mean? Do we just go ahead and start panicking and paying other guys who aren’t quite as good?”
“We usually don’t jump in (to free agency that begins each March) that quick. We’ve made some decisions in the past that weren’t the best for the organization, because we weren’t patient. And you for that, because we want to be a team that is acquiring all throughout the year.”
He doesn't seem to realize good OLine is a scarce commodity in the league and you have to pay to get a couple of these guys. At least one at OT and one at OG. He could've had Zeitler at $9M for a year but he didn't move quick enough and now he's a Titan. I don't care if you've been burned in the past pushing in on guys in early March, do better. But don't do nothing and wait for the best options to get taken off the board cause your scared.

You think he didn’t try for Zeitler? Zeitler is about to retire. His family lives in Nashville and he went to Tennessee probably to be close to his family. I’m not saying he did try for Zeitler but to suggest he didn’t try is all speculation.

I don't know either, he may have, except he doesn't even hint at anyone other than Fries. We also don't know if Zeitler couldn't have been persuaded to head West for $10M or $11M. If it is his last year he might be looking to make as much as possible before he shuts to spigot off.
