Welcome to Baltimore: Olaivavega Ioane

[Davesta]

my guess is, if Jones isn't going to factor in as a starter, that he'll be a G/T swing backup - which allows you to keep just the 9 OL on the 53

Our new Mekari

Can’t go wrong with a beast in the trenches, especially after suffering through that horrible turnstile we had lad season! I could not have suffered through another season of that! Was hoping for Bain, but I think I may like Vega just as much as after watching him.

 

[Jacquouille]

Came around very late on him but I'm in. I wasn't sold by the Ohio State or Oregon game but watched the tape against Nebraska and it was indeed phenomenal.
Getting a Pro Bowl Guard at 14 is great value, talking about positional value is super weird to me this isn't a RB.
Interested to see what becomes of Emery Jones now

 

[Grim]

Throw the fucking positional value out the window this year, I’ve said it for months, positional value is straight up ass this year, get the sure, safe upgrades where you can

Yeah you were right on this.

I’m still not sure if Vega over Bain was the best move but I’ve no doubts Vega will drastically improve our team and I think he could have a Yanda impact for us

 

[Grendelwulf]

Glad we’re investing in protecting Lamar, love the pick

 

[Argentina Raven]

I'm okay with the pick, but it doesn't blow me away.
I see him as slow; I suppose they'll drop him by at least 10 pounds

I like the pick but man… my household was so hyped to see Bain there that we were kind of disappointed in the moment.

Me too, Bain was the guy I wanted to fall into our lap and I was also a little disappointed at first but Vega is a good choice and I am glad we did not go TE in Round 1, so I was happy that didn’t happen.

I legit got on OL train after you kept saying this lol. The safe pick/ vega was the only thing that made sense

 

[Deebo813]

If we still had tyler, we likely wouldve draft bain imo

Bain was option #3 when they were on the clock. Sadiq would have been wearing purple.

That would have sent me. If that’s the case I’m glad Vega is the pick. But it sounds like they truly wanted to prioritize the offense with this pick

 

[UPennChem]

EDC is big time sus if Sadiq was the pick with Vega gone over Bain

 

[Deebo813]

Bain was option #3 when they were on the clock. Sadiq would have been wearing purple.

Oh dam.. tight end 2nd round then im assuming

 

[JAAM]

Stanley, Vinson
Simpson, Vorhees
Starter, Bullock/Gwynn
Ioane, Jones
Rosengarten, ?

Call me crazy but I still have faith in Bullock winning the job unless there’s a vet out there. Idk how to feel going into the season with two rookies on the iOL

 

[JAAM]

If not then it’s Njoku time

 

[Simba]

I would say, the fact that Bain was available at 14 at all speaks to not just how we felt about him, but how a good portion of the league did. Mentioned it in the thread last night but they were not at all surprised to see him still on the board when they were up. They expected it.
