Thread: Tom Nalen on Losing Matt Paradis and on Garrett Bolles' Play!

Riddle me this Joker; if Nalen is so sure that Paradis “is well worth the money he’s getting” then why isn’t the team that signed him?

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina...paradis-14618/

Paradis deal includes two “dummy years” and a potential buyout after two seasons. His first season is for approximately $4 M, that’s right where I’d pay a player like him and a position like C.

So both Nalen and Stink have said McGroven isn't a good center. What is the front office seeing that makes them think differently. Maybe its dollars

Dalton Risner, 2nd round, can play RT/G/C.

Uummmm.....the entire team kinda didn't give a **** in week 17, not sure that's the game tape to really be basing judgement on there Tom.

...but they were the 13th best Line in the League!

At the press conference today, someone asked if McGovern is the Center. The answer was he is "right now." Last time they used the "right now" phrase was with Keenum. Guess the writing is on the wall that McGovern will be moved back to his natural spot at RT as soon as they sign or draft their new Center.

What it, and I’m just spit-balling here, Nalen and Schlereth are wrong?

maybe, but unlike us they actually know what they are looking at. Tyler Polumbus also said something similar.

Elway said they were concerned with Paradis ankle. Could they know something we don’t? That injury looked pretty gross.

Good interview by Nalen. I heard it live yesterday.

Legwold said on the radio that the ankle was broke in multiple places and he had ligament damage.

Can’t help believe Nalen knows what he’s seeing / talking about. He’s also probs cool personally with Matt P.
One thing for sure is munchak’s Lines need to be athletic and move into the second level. So McGovern as a center or guard needs to lock it up.

Kaleb McGary is starting to get some love. May go early round 2. He was an injury replacement for the Huskies, but balled out in pass pro and run game. May be worth a look.

I believe he does...Nalen is probably my favorite ever Denver OL. I’ll never forget his crotch grab to some hecklers. Dude was tuff as nails. Aka Nails Nalen.


However, he’s not a doctor. Yes Paradis is very good, in a perfect world it would of been nice to keep him. But that injury was brutal man. Denver just didn’t want to take the risk. How long until Paradis will be ready and will he ever be the same? Denver offered him a 1 year prove it deal. I just wish they had offered more incentives that Paradis could of earned if he stayed healthy. In the end...I don’t think Paradis wanted to take that risk.

He’s been a mid-late round pick, he must be having a good Combine/pro day season.

Teams can do better in round 2.
