The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
Possibly, but even when he was going through the scouting process before the draft, the word was that he was much better suited to play RT. Now he is a 2nd team All-Pro there, so do you commit to moving him out of a role he has mastered and "hope" that he can do the same on the left side? Pretty risky move. I would just leave him at RT and find another LT.
Yes and no. NO drafted Ramczyk specifically to play RT, but they already had Strief there. But when Armstead got injured they put Ramczyk at LT until he returned. But then, Streif get hurt and they moved Ramczyk to RT...where they wanted him to begin with...and kicked Peat out to LT. Stayed that way until Armstead came back and hasn't changed.
So, Ramczyk didn't exactly fail at LT...he was just moved to the spot they drafted him to play in the first place.
It's normal to take rookies and let them play RT since that is less demanding that LT. NO had a LT. So, of course they tried Ramczyk at LT to see if he'd just jump into it like Joe Thomas, but he didn't.
Denver would have done the same with Bolles who was less polished a T than Ramczyk, except that unlike NO they didn't have a LT. So, Bolles has stuck at LT despite being below mediocre there in his first two seasons.
So, they brought in Munchak to work with him and get something out of him. If Munchak can't fix him, then they will just have to release him, because there's no better OL coach than Munchak. It's fish or cut bait time for Bolles this season. He has no more excuses.
Admittedly, the coaching staff the last 2 years sucked. Now they've gone out and assembled what Elway and Co. thinks is a superior and experienced coaching staff. So, we'll see what happens now.
But, Bolles was selected not because he was a more polished LT, but because he was more athletic than Ramczyk. Ramczyk was the more ready college player and his development has been faster. It's NOT because he's a natural RT and Bolles is a natural LT.
I love John Elway so much, I think some of you owe him an apology for things you’ve said in the past.
