No thanks to Oakman. Classic "Look like Tarzan, play like Jane" player. I'm sure he'll shine at the combine where he doesn't have to actually play football hard snap after snap.
would keep green to see if he could be the swing tackle - at least give him this year to show something - and if he stays injured dump him.Yeah, Tunsil would be a shock but not a horrible move.
You could then cut Free the next day and create $2.5M in cap room. Some of that could then go towards Travis Frederick's contract extension. Wins all around.
Also, trade Chaz Green for a likely late draft pick.
The O Line would be dominant for years.

I really think if Wentz and Goff are gone by the time we pick that means that there is a good chance that of the trifecta of Bosa, Ramsey and Jack having two of them still around. Odds are that the Titans will take Tunsil as they greatly need a top LT and he is by a lot of peoples evaluations the best and safest pick in the draft. If say Jack and Ramsey are still there I could see us getting a pretty decent offer for our pick.
and if somehow Lynch looks really good we might get an even better deal.
Assuming of course we do not take a QB ourselves.
I'm a strong advocate of trading this years #4 for next years 1st round pick plus whatever fair value is. I do have a strong feeling that a team in the late 1st round might be willing to part with their 1st this year and a 1st next year, maybe even a 2ndd next year as well. That to me would be a great deal for us and would give us fire power next year to draft Fournette or Rosen (I am assuming they both come out early). Both those players are great players and I think have a big future in the NFL.
Rosen isn't eligible until 2018.
A team in the late 1st round is a good team, and will most likely be a good team again, especially with us donating the 4th overall pick to them.
I thought the rules stated, 2 years after high school a player is eligible to declare for the NFL draft.
