My guess: Burford starts, snaps will be split around 60-40 in his favor

Interesting. I could see the Burford/Brunskill platoon here with Feliciano but my guess is Foerster just sticks with Burford.

Not sure they will split b/c Feliciano was just as bad as Burford last game.

Yup. Feliciano has given up a 15.0% pressure rate. Burford has given up a 9.8% pressure rate. 9.8% is pretty high. 15.0% is pitiful.

Was looking at the most recent Athletic mock draft and there should be some pretty good OT prospects available at the end of the1st and a few that can kick inside if needed as well.
21. Indianapolis Colts: Tyler Guyton, OT, OklahomaGeneral manager Chris Ballard loves trench players with big-time traits and Guyton fits the bill. At 6-6, 320, he moves like a tight end but has the aggressive mentality of an offensive lineman. Investing in protection for Anthony Richardson would be a smart move, and Guyton has the talent to compete for starting right tackle snaps as

25. Miami Dolphins: Troy Fautanu, OT/G, WashingtonMiami has a few question marks on its offensive line, especially with Terron Armstead missing more games in 2023 than he has played. A college left tackle, Fautanu has the play style and aesthetics of a guard but the feet and arm length that can keep him at tackle. Regardless, his positional flexibility provides immediate depth for the Dolphins

26. Dallas Cowboys: Graham Barton, G/C, DukeA college left tackle, Barton is going to move inside in the NFL and projects well at either guard or center. The Cowboys might need help at both spots with Tyler Biadasz a pending free agent and the future uncertain for Tyron Smith. This pick assumes Tyler Smith would replace Tyron Smith at left tackle, thus creating a need at left guard.

29. Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Paul, OT, HoustonDonovan Smith is barely a short-term option at left tackle for the Chiefs, and he's definitely not a long-term solution. Paul isn't yet a polished player, but he has the length and competitive athleticism to overwhelm defenders once he makes contact.

30. San Francisco 49ers: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon StateWith his firm hands and finishing mentality, Fuaga is the best run-blocking lineman I have studied this draft cycle, especially with his ability in zone. His feet get tied up when he gets too upright in pass protection (see: his 2023 Washington tape), but he can keep speed wide of the pocket and help answer the 49ers' struggles at right tackle.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYUEducated guess: Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is going to be lovestruck once he gets eyes on Suamataia's tape. Yes, the BYU left tackle is young and will need time, but Philadelphia drafts with long-term plans in mind. Suamataia has the talent to provide depth as a rookie and the upside to be an impact starter down the road

Round 2Carolina Panthers: Jordan Morgan, OT/G, ArizonaWith a roster in bad shape and no first-round selection, the Panthers will have added pressure not to strike out with this pick. Carolina needs help all over the field but especially on the offensive line, and Morgan would give them a versatile option. He can be a plug-and-play guard while also providing insurance at left tackle — something Carolina might need if Ikem Ekwonu continues to struggle

I look forward to getting to know these prospects that we will not select

I think we should draft atleast 2 OT's if not 3. It will be criminal if they don't draft atleast 1 with our 1st pick.

Agree. Need an upgrade for McKivitz, and a successor to Williams. 1 of them can ideally kick inside to RG for a year or 2

Or let Jaylon Moore play inside like he should've for 3 years now.

Ha. I've given up on that happening . Seems like a good fit but they seem to like him at OT

Can't quite go that far. Guys rise, guys drop, and there are trades to be made.

I think they've shown thus far that they have things figured out.

I'm for signing Journey O men and drafting Skills.. that pay the bills

So you don't want to pay multi millions of dollars on Colton McKivitz twin just to show you did something?
