Do we have the personnel for a Shanahan/McVay offense?

Apparently, that’s the direction we’re going in like it or not. If you wanted more motion we’re certainly getting more motion. I was at the Saints vs Rams game and all that motion was so annoying. Just run the damn play already!

But I have to admit that this style of offense puts a lot of tension on defenses.

We have the wide receivers. Maybe we can add one or two into the mix, but even Bowden performed better at the end.

“Do we have the offensive line ?” is the big question. We can draft a tackle easily in the first round. In this offense I like Taliese Fuaga out of Oregon state. He looks fluid and agile.

We honestly need 2 tackles and if there’s any draft to get 2 this is the one. Except, we never trade down.

I don’t like Andrus Peat in this offense at guard especially and even tackle. He’s a power run lineman for the most part and I can’t imagine him pulling consistently.

Penning, I have given up on but others have not. If he can get his head together he does fit this scheme. I’m just not counting on it.

From what I’ve seen of Saldiveri’s college tape, I like him at guard or tackle in this scheme.

So if we add two tackles and a guard I will feel better about our line. (Not necessarily in the draft)

Oh yeah, Ramczyk is way too toast to play this scheme if he can play at all.

As for tight ends, we need more versatile players who can block, and get open. Juwan Johnson is more of a downfield threat and doesn’t offer much in terms of blocking.

Taysom is an okay blocker and a real threat on any pass play.

Moreau is mostly a good blocking tight end who can be a sneaky option on PA.

So I would expect us to draft a TE in the later rounds. Someone like AJ Barner from Michigan, Ben Sinnott Kansas, Tanner McLachlan Arizona. All bigger dual threat guys. If Bowers falls to us then it’s a huge win but we might have to trade up for a tackle like Morgan from AZ.

I think Shaheed and Olave will be even better in this offense. And we should draft another RB if we want to have more explosive run plays.
Right now, we don’t have the elite QB and we don’t have the kind of athletic o-line it would require to protect whoever’s under center. We had some truly underrated/underappreciated o-linemen back in the early years of Payton.
