    The Guard position is what I'm uneasy about. Don't get me wrong, I am still concerned about Lewans play, but our play at Guard is the most suspect at the moment.

    Oh yea, we have nothing but questions at both Guard spots, at least Lewan, Jones, and Conklin are half good to good

    I actually think we'll be alright. The main key is actually finding a unit that can bond and work well together. Warmack should either hold up RG or make the transition to LG, depends on who else is doing well. Poutasi was always a good G prospect and will be intriguing to watch. Bell was a solid LG last season. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tretola make his way up the depth chart either.

    Warmack no doubt knows that if he is not that good with the Titans then chances are he is just not that good. I'm hoping that he has a fire lit under his ass during this contract season. He should be going all out in 2016. It's make it or break it time for him.

    Warmack gets a lot of crap on here, and I've delivered some as well, but a lot of the hate comes from him being a reach. I'm not blaming him or taking it out on him for that, there's a reason we have a new GM. We can write in pen that he's a starter, he'll also experiment with LG a bit. At worst he's an above average guard who has stretches of being good during his career. I'll take that right now. Now for the other spot, yeah a lot more questions but some very interesting possibilities.

    Yeah he could be a good example of having 2 solid tackles helping the guards be better. I mean we've been playing with dudes off the street at tackle. When we used to have 2 tackles that were good we seemingly could throw anyone on the line and theyd get the job done, not so much since then. Could have also been Mawae at center also now that i think about it.

    Hopefully chance has a big year and we resign him. I dont want to be forced to use one of our 2 1st round picks on a guard next year. I want to take a top receiver and a top corner.

    Even if Warmack leaves after this year, we're not spending another 1st round pick on a Guard. I've seen that idea floated around and it's pretty crazy. No other team has invested as much in their OL as we have. I really wanted WR and CB in the 1st next year as well. Desmond King from Iowa and the WR out of USC have been on my rader. Tabor from UF and Dupre from LSU come to mind as well.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Conklin is going to be purely a RT for us. I doubt there is any competition for him at LT.

    Just pointing out Kiper said that bc some here are suggesting Conklin is a G, yet Kiper thinks he could potentially play LT in this league.

    I like to Conklin pick, but I fear putting him at RT is like putting a square peg in a round hole.

    The line was garbage all over last year. Like @Subjugation said, we were starting 3rd string and PS caliber players last year at C and T. It would be hard for any G too look good with two turnstiles on either side of him.

    But even if Warmack was a top 10 G, he likely would not have gotten his option picked up, merely due to the fact that it would be paying him LT money.

    Warmack will start this year, and I think he will look much better between Jones and Conklin.
