I do not trust Nate Davis as a starter. We definitely need to draft some competition. Ideally, someone that is capable of playing tackle as well.
Guards in the 2nd/3rd I want most (A chance a couple of these guys get drafted in the 1st):
John Simpson (my top pick)
Lloydd Cushenberry III
Jonah Jackson
Damien Lewis
Ben Bredesen
Isaiah Wilson
Later round guards I am interested in are Calvin Throckmorton (on the name alone), Daishawn Dixon, and Hunter Cervenka.

You mean the biggest Dline around last year?
And Chris Jones is also elite.
This is a what have you done lately league, and at the end of 2019 Davis was fine
Converted TE from a division 3 school? Seems risky, we need to go Guard in the first.
No credit for signing Lewan, that was an obvious move. Lewan was picked by the previous administration ( stopped clock theory on that one). Saffold is badly overpaid and Kelly was re-signed more out of desperation, and overpaid. He lucked out getting that guard from NE on waivers, then overpaid him.
When it comes to OL all JRob is good for is this:
Is Kelly any good at Guard? Would love to land one of the OTs in round 1 and kick kelly inside and have Nate as depth.
No he's not a Guard. Also, we paid him to start at tackle so I think that's the plan at this point.
too tall
This is not a special draft an interior OL, no reason to reach on mediocre talent that probably isn't any better than what we have.
CB, WR, and OT are much more loaded at talent, and are positions we have a need at. Need to look there in the first few rounds. Maybe a guard with one of our three 7th rounders, but that's it.

There aren't any guards worth a first in this draft. Or are you being sarcastic?
Ceasar Ruiz is
true on most counts but i dont think saffold is as egregiously overpaid as you think. he and lewan were great once they started to click during the season.No credit for signing Lewan, that was an obvious move.

conk was a good pick as well but our salary cap couldnt hold him because of saffolds contract.... was saffold worth letting conk walk? I think no
He was a complete failure at it in Philly and it lead to him being traded away for a bag of chicken wings.
So no
I’ll be the other side.
Yes. He was a 3rd rd pick thrown in because of injury and didn’t do all that bad, or at least improved as the season progressed.
Titans have had plenty of later picks work out great on the OL. Give this guy a season, I bet he improves both running and pass blocking and becomes a pretty decent lineman. Maybe not pro bowler or anything, but good enough to stick around for cheap.
Edit: guess I should have read all the posts before making mine. Lot of people are supporters of Davis.

Did you just throw shade on nate not blocking on of the best dl in the nfl? He was a raw rook from a small school. This is nuts.
Davis will be are starting guard next year. Bank on that. You can’t be good every where and he is serviceable. We have other areas of need that we will address in the draft. Maybe a later pick on interior OL.
I think you're undervaluing the chicken wings, it was more like a bag of roadkill.
As for Davis, I also thought he progressed well toward the end of season and playoffs. The limited offseason won't help his development, but I see no reason he can't come in and continue to get better and be a solid starter for us.
I'm more worried about Kelly as full-time starter, he's ok in a pinch, but good players usually beat him pretty badly, I hope we come away with a better option early in draft.
And then there is the depth issue. Someone will get injured. Who comes off the bench?
Nate Davis was a rookie on an offensive line who blocked for the league leading rusher.. He did a great job as a rookie especially once our offense started forming that chemistry in the middle of the year. He's 22 years old, and he can only get better. Yes, as of now, he is undoubtedly the future RG of this team.
Chill out folks...have some faith in our young guys. Stop being so damn pessimistic all the time.
The real question should be when tf are we going to trash the ugly ass new unis.

I will be shocked, if we don't draft OL with our first selection. Nate and Kelly starting together? I just cant see that happening. We draft a monster OL, and keep pounding the ball with Henry.
Be ready to be shocked then bud.
