Offensive Line

[ForeverCleveland08]

Ive been thinking about our offensive line just has everyone else has. While looking through some players coming into the draft i came across Jeremy Parquet. I believe we could get Parquet, put him at LT although he would be sketchy as he learned his 1st year and move Verba back to guard. Also picking up Chris Kemoeatu to fill in for the to out of shape Garmon. Thus making our O line look like this:

LT: Jeremy Parquet
LG: Ross Verba
C: Jeff Faine/ Melvin Fowler
RG: Chris Kemoeatu/ Jeff Faine/ Kelvin Garmon (We'll See)
RT: Ryan Tucker
TE: Kellen Winslow Jr.

I dont think Fowler will beat Faine and if he does Faine will get moved back to Center eventually. but the players i listed 1st in order is who i think will most likely be starting in that position.

I like that possibility, however, I doubt that we would have two rookies on the O-line, to start, but they will definitley see a lot of playing time...

[DaBrowns41]

let's hope we can get him...

Baas in the second is a phenomenal talent that we can get, however, I think we need to go out and get a top G this offseason, there are a lot on the FA market, Rivera, Hamilton, Coleman Dixon, and Andruzzi just to name a few. They are all top guards in this league and would do much more than a fourth round rookie.

I couldnt agree more... We also need some depth... Depth provides insurance so that if someone goes down, then someone else can step up... but I think I'm just dreaking lol....

From everything I've heard, I don't believe we will be going after any big time free agents. Jeramaine Mayberry would be nice, but I think he is too pricey. Same for Jonas Jennings.

Here are the linemen I think we should pursue in free agency:

OT
Ethan Brooks - BAL
Floyd Womack - SEA
Adrian Klemm - NE
Oliver Ross - PIT

OG
Ben Hamilton - DEN
Rick Demulling - IND
Joe Andruzzi - NE
Bennie Anderson - BAL
Keydrick Vincent - PIT

Personally I'd like to have Klemm, Ross, Andruzzi and Anderson. That would give us a lot more flexibility going into the draft, and give us much needed quality depth. Any drafted linemen would be gravy on top of that free agent biscuit.

I wouldnt be suprised to see us pick up Klemm and Andruzzi. I would definetley be happy. But even if we did get them i still wouldnt mind to pick up either Parquet or Kemoeatu. This would free up a draft that would have been used up by an OL. Thats Whats Up

I don't think we need any OTs in this draft. Look at who's going to be available next year:

Andrew Whitworth, 6-6, 325, LSU
Max Jean-Gilles, 6-4, 340, Georgia
Eric Winston, 6-6, 310, Miami
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, 6-5, 295, Virginia
Jon Scott, 6-6, 305, Texas
Marcus McNeill, 6-9, 340, Auburn
Jami Hightower, 6-4, 355, Texas A&M
Adam Stenavich, 6-5, 315, Michigan
Zach Strief, 6-7, 335, Northwestern
Winston Justice, 6-6, 305, Southern California
Rob Sims, 6-4, 305, Ohio State

That's a pretty deep class. Guard is pretty weak next year, but strong this year. We have to get a guard in the second or hopefully 3rd round. Next year, we'll have less holes so we could get one of these guys with our first pick.

[ForeverCleveland08]

The more that i think about it the more i agree, This is a year for guards and Tackles are next year, theres a weak group of Tackles this year. They all need to bulk up and personally i dont think Barrons that great, he plays to high and is to weak to be that great in the pros. The reason i like Parquet as a later pick is because its little known but he is strong and pretty quick based on what ive seen. If he gets even more stronger and gets some experience he could start at LT easily. Thats Whats Up

Adrien Klemm would look nice in the Brown and Orange...

[ForeverCleveland08]

Yeah he would, so would Andruzzi for that matter

It would be nice if we could get them both, but that's unlikely... unfortunatley...

[ForeverCleveland08]

Yeah it is. We Need Klemm more i think....
