Unsurprisingly the o-linemen are all athletic, slightly smaller guys. The zone system is definitely here to stay, especially with Kubiak now at OC.

Interesting they are looking at a bunch of centers. Backup options for Bradbury or could there be a move to OG in his future? I know in the pre-draft process lots of people were talking about Bradbury's flexibility to play either OG or center.

I'll be very suprised if Bradbury plays any other position than C

Agree, but they obviously met with a handful of center prospects. So if they take one of them, and they seem to draft 1 or more of the Senior Bowl guys they interview every year, then someone is likely moving. Doubt they would be looking at one of those guys as a backup center.

High round draft status alone won't save Bradbury from moving positions. Just look at other players taken in the top 3 rounds, places where you expect to draft a starter, who began at center and then were moved to guard when a new center was brought in: James Daniels for the Bears, Cam Erving when he was a Brown....Pat Elflein for us.

Bottom line is Kubiak is now fully in charge of the offense and he's had a full season to evaluate offensive players and their fit. I don't think it's crazy at all to think he might have some different ideas on how the o-line should be constructed. I mean if he didn't have any new ideas to improve a struggling unit then why hire him at all?

I don't see anyone on that list who is going supplant Bradbury at center. Spielman has said it's important to them that their interior o-line guys have the ability to play center, this would be especially true for their backup interior guys, to me that's what this OC list looks like, nothing too impressive there.

Thanks for posting this. It's still very early in the process of assessing the options. I don't watch much college ball, so I know nothing this time of year about who I'd love to see fall to us, etc.

Can somebody tell me how we know who we have shown 'interest' in at this point? (I'm not doubting, just want to know what this is based on.)

I think that stuffing the run in the latter part of the game when we're behind would be a big priority as well, given that teams were able to gash our D and run out the clock at will in key games. I suspect other areas will be added to this list as the draft deception ramps up.

Just online sources. Like walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2020meetings6.php

I use a search function in Twitter, too which is beneficial for all the Pro Days.

It looks like they re finally taking a hard look at olineman. It must of been a part of Gary agreeing to take over the reins of the offense. Also in looking at the defensive fronts they’ll be facing in the upcoming season they better get good fast or it’s unlikely they ll even see post season.

Enough of this college C or T to OG bullshit. Just because Joe Berger did it doesn't mean anyone else can.

I know it is way early but it's interesting to see the number of OL and Safety candidates.
