Chargers re-signed Pipkins last year. They likely won't have a top 5 pick again under Herbert. They aren't taking a RT with a top 5 pick. It will be Nabers, Bowers (trade back), MHJ (Trade up),
Trey was HORRIBLE. Straight ass. One of the worst tackles playing tackle since Bobby hart for the Bengals. They need to keep Herbert upright and safe in the pocket. This draft is so deep at WR they can get someone later
The 2 best left tackles in the draft going 4-5 to play right tackle seems odd to me. Right tackle probably better addressed later in the draft for positional value reasons IMO
A lot of teams have LT in the top 10 but dont have RT. We saw Penei Sewell, Evan Neal, Mekhi Becton, Tristan Wirfs, Ikem Ekwonu, Darnell Wright all get moved around from LT to RT at the NFL Level at some point in their career or right off the bat. And thats just the last 4 drafts. Usually, great college LTs will be solid to great NFL RTs. But Great college RTs almost never make solid to great LT. LT is a harder position due to that being the blindside so the best pass rushers develop rushing the LT spot meaning the LT have to be better than usual. So if you make a great LT you will make a great RT due to the fundamentals that are taught. So the best LT in the class being moved to RT due to already great LT being at those teams makes a LOT of sense for those 2 teams to make 2 franchise linchpins
@@sportsstuffpodcast simple logic and math would say that 10 teams have a LT in the top 10. The debate is that if drafting a TE at the top of the draft doesn’t give good positional value (which I believe is true) then drafting a RT in that spot is at least as bad of a value. I have no doubt that either of the top two LT would play the RT position well but that is not the point
We saw last season with Michael Mayer that TE is not as valued as we thought. I highly doubt Brock goes as high as he should. I was following the past 4 draft trends in teams saying lets get a great tackle and figure the rest out as if you have great tackles, solid guard play will follow. Just look at the 49ers, Trent Williams covers up SO much inadequate play from IOL@@brianhammond2832
@@sportsstuffpodcast Trent Williams is a great example of a great left tackle playing left tackle. Great positional value! A left tackle playing right tackle? Not great positional value. If looking for a right tackle with such a high pick, either wait till the second round or trade down 10 picks IMO
But both sides will want to trade up. There are no teams post Drake Maye, Caleb Williams that will trade up and Jayden Daniels is not worth a trade up of multiple draft picks@@brianhammond2832
I watched 4 times and it seems like you are trading Saquan Barkley to the Bears. I’m pretty sure that he is a free agent and got the franchise tag last season. If he is tagged and traded he would get 13mil and then be a free agent again. I really don’t understand what is going on here
He would be tagged, traded, then rework his contract with the Bears. Sadly sign and trades are almost impossible in the NFL unlike the NBA as how the CBA is worked out. NBA contracts are once off the books are off the books. NFL contracts the team who signed them originally have dead cap due to it. So a tag and trade would need to be done so the Giants dont have any of his contract on the books then he reworks his deal with the Bears into a longterm deal
@@sportsstuffpodcast and the Bears would have to be willing to sign him to a contract that is better than 120% franchise tag. Remember that he was already tagged once. Pretty rich for a running back IMO
I 100% agree. But if I am the Bears, the NFC North is a competitive division and you want to win now. Whether with Justin or Caleb getting Saquon then extending him is worth it because of the adjusted win percentage he adds to the team. You have 70m in cap space why not use it on a fringe top 5 RB that pairs nicely with Roschon Johnson. Plus, in the trade back you get another 1st next year. Its a net positive all around and I wouldnt be surprised if were talking about how the Bears won the trade a few seasons from now@@brianhammond2832
No, they have taken rotational DT twice and missed on one. They took a LB and struck out on that one and took Smith as a replacement for Reddick and doesn't look good so far.@@sportsstuffpodcast
