    That's great, but his hands and ball skills are what I'm intrigued by. Kid was catching everything like he had Freddy Biletnikoff stickum hands.

    We need a center. Tyler Lindenbaum will get a bag. Most likely the Raiders who need a major upgrade at oline to protect Mendoza. They have about $100 mil to spend.

    I say we grab the Auburn kid who blew out his knee day two and sit him behind a mid level Center we sign in FA.

    I wonder if Bitonio would sign with us. Give any IOL we draft some developmental time. The Bills and Panthers Centers are also hitting FA.

    28. Houston Texans: Kadyn Proctor, OT/G, Alabama

    Houston turned its offensive line upside down last offseason in a full makeover effort, but there wasn't enough improvement. The unit was still 30th in pass block win rate at 55.5%, though the sack count dropped from 54 (tied for third most) to 31 (tied for ninth fewest). There's also the matter of the entire right side being unsigned for 2026. Proctor had all 40 of his career starts at left tackle (where Aireontae Ersery was this season), but he could slide to right tackle or even inside to guard. The bigger priority is getting capable blockers in front of C.J. Stroud.

    Gennings Dunker Iowa OT, reminds me of an offensive line version of Steven Adams.

    My point was that he's the total package of size, speed, hands

    I like some of the linemen. We need to add there. Need a stud TE. Weapons in fa or from the dl. I like Golday. I really really (really) like Hill Jr. I wish we were jawing now on how we are going to beat down, a full curb stomp of a headless broncos team; nonetheless, the draft talk is fun. It helps pass the time. We are in it together, brothers. I’m here for the party.

    Here is to next year and our fearless leader (59) taking us through to the Promised Land. I believe we are that close and I believe we break through.

    If you want people movers draft Proctor in the 1st and Dunker in the 2nd.

    Caserio needs to add a proven TE in FA and draft one in the 3rd/4th rd range. Whichever TE that's drafted needs to be a great blocker. I'm an Isiah Likely guy in FA if the Ravens let him walk.

    I like Dunker, but I'm not completely sold on Proctor

    I see proctor as a best case scenario Trent Brown. Worse case scenario Mekai (SP? Becton.

    Well worth 1-28 IMHO, dude can definitely move people. Put him next to Ersery or better yet Brown and the run game automatically improves. They do need to draft a better blocking TE though.
