I can envision a OLine like this in the future.
LT- Trent Williams
LG- Jaylon Moore
C- Alex Mack
RG- Aaron Banks
RT- Mike McGlinchey
6th OL(Do it all OL): Daniel Brunskill
7th OL(T/G): Colton McKivitz
Draft another OL next year, decide on whether they view Brunskill as the future C, if not, draft someone next year.
This is our starting OL in the future with a good rookie C or 2nd year C ready to takeover for Mack. Laken will unfortunately be supplanted by Moore but we need better pass pro and a fraction of the price
I wonder if we're undervaluing McKivitz. Not sure Moore has an edge on him yet.
I agree with AB but once camp starts...we'll know. Moore , not surprisingly , also has good feet. Our boys, KS/JL know what to look for . Size, strength,
smarts, quick feet. No way "take it-to-the-banks" doesn't start.
The bigger question is Moore able to unseat Laken who is up for FA next yr. That contest will be interesting. At worst Moore is the 6th starting OL, and Brun can play all 3 slots and then McKivitz (who i don't know that much about still).
I could see them sliding Moore out to tackle as well. He's athletic and has quick enough feet to play on the outside. He could make the team as the swing tackle.
I see Banks as Tomlinson's biggest competition. If anyone is unseating Tomlinson it's Banks. The other IOL can then fight it out for RG. Moore may be in that mix and that wouldn't be until next year anyways.
It could be that way, but RG is broken and Laken does ok..,.and will do better with Mack at C rather than one of many who attempted to play C . At RG we got nada. Brun could start but we need that swing OL and Brun an play all 3 slots. So i think Banks is for certain going to RG and starting. Then the question is can Moore unseat Laken who is up for FA next yr (bigger paycheck) . It is really hard to say how Laken has played because of the continuous swinging gate at C. With Mack there, i think laken kicks it up a notch and plays way better. Can Moore outplay him this yr? IDK but that is the OL slot i am watching. Brun is a starter wherever you put him which is unbelievable for a guy with that talent. After that i think Mckivitz, but honestly don't know the remaining others that well. Wtih Moore i believe we have 6 starting OLs this yr, PLUS Brun which makes us about 1000% better at OL this yr than last.
I think you're overvaluing Moore a little too much. He was a fifth round pick for a reason. He's not going to unseat Tomlinson, who most likely stays at LG. Banks will probably start at RG this year and slide over to LG next year. That's what I was trying to say. Moore is not Tomlinson's competition.
Could be but Kittle in rd 5 ? The "Commodore" in rd 5? Moore in Rd 5? Note i did say compete with Laken but really i was thinking more about next yr when Laken could ask for big $$$....at that point yes, i think Moore would start. Really tho, let's wait , see him on the field, and then compare. You have probably seen it but if not, check out Moore's film and look at his feet. He has great feet , much like Banks. It will be whoever is best starts. But Moore is right there with Brun , really as 6th and 7th starters. McKivitz...just don't know enough about him still.
As bad as our OL looked last yr, (after injuries), it looks now as GOOD as it was bad...that is... both were exceptional.
Talking about competition....i can't wait for Kin to go up against Gutierrez. That WILL be interesting.
