Magnusson doesn't need to be starter material until next year but given the talent we also have at G, Braden and Kalis-like schilling-could move out to T next year with some combo of Boesch, Bryant, Gunderson, or Kugler playing on the interior. Although your concern about T is valid, patience with these kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-35744995052049020762013-06-14T12:37:03.379-04:002013-06-14T12:37:03.379-04:00I agree that all the tea leaves indicate Magnuson ...I agree that all the tea leaves indicate Magnuson is well behind Kalis and Braden. Also agree that Braden would most likely bump out if one of the starting tackles are hurt for any number of weeks.I think the staff would feel more comfortable playing Glasgow or Burzynski at OG than another tackle.<br /><br />Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-9856848324576317642013-06-14T12:34:34.724-04:002013-06-14T12:34:34.724-04:00I would not view versatility as a negative.

I had previously assumed that he was purely a RT mauler-type, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how nimbly he moved in the spring game. He may be a legit LT option down the road.<br /><br />It would be ideal if at least one of Magnusson and Logan Tulley Tilman develop into starter material this year. Those are the last two pure OT prospects, so both continuing to struggle will pose a problem. I guess you can throw Chris Fox into the mix as well. Most people seem to be pegging Fox at OG, but he will definitely get a long look at OT by UM.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-33572304362245333792013-06-14T08:52:10.364-04:002013-06-14T08:52:10.364-04:00At 6'6 and 314lb, I don't think Braden is ...At 6'6 and 314lb, I don't think Braden is a G/T type. He's probably one of the 5 best OL on the team and both tackle spots are filled, thus he'll play guard for a season like Schofield did.Elmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255166333885153283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-45788919914169982212013-06-14T08:40:12.781-04:002013-06-14T08:40:12.781-04:00That picture needs a caption.

Recruiting has been okay, but we've picked up a lot of guys who are either major projects or G/T types like Braden. It seems like pretty much every other position on the team is loaded now. I was really hoping that we would land at least one stud prototype OT this year, but it looks like we won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-17299919888082706272013-06-14T08:04:11.426-04:002013-06-14T08:04:11.426-04:00It's pretty great that we have the depth now t...It's pretty great that we have the depth now to allow these guys to develop without having to throw them into the fire to soon.
