Is its really the actual rookie class showing the confidence, or is it CCS just going dick ripping bitchmaid crazy for these greman fuckers?

What makes you say this?
Our Oline turned around last year when mustipher was inserted at center (wasn't the only move made), I didn't see him seeming out of place and Krutz seemed to be very high on him.
Borom moves very well for a big man and gave up zero pressures in the SEC playing overweight.
Are you just talking pure chance of two late picks end up sticking?

I think Mustipher showed well at center and should only get better with play. When you come in without pro reps and play the position better than the 2 vets we've already tried there... Maybe not in absolute grade but when you consider the finer points of the position that improves the entire lines play, he was a success. Obviously we know nothing about Borom and he was a 5th round pick so odds are he's not an answer but also way to early to write him off.

easy killer
yeah, it's unlikely that either will become a stud. but it wouldn't be surprising if one turned out at least serviceable
The OL only needs one or two excellent players

9 times out of 10, I would say we are all drinking the Kool-Aid. But this one has late round steal written all over it. Look at his athletic scores, look at how (it seems) he was coached to play way overweight and how he has immediately lost that weight. His technique is supposedly solid. AAAAAANND the kid is an academic standout pre-engineering major.

I mean, if Charles Leno can be a 5 year starter at tackle as a 7th rounder....
My guess is that Borom will struggle with the athleticism and speed of the edge rushers in the NFL.

The reference is to quotes from the rookies who all show greaa confidence. Fields, Jenkins, Borom, Graham have all shown a lot of self confidence.
Yes, it is absolutely true that talking about it won't matter if they don't do it.
But the point being made earlier was that we haven't seen rookies show this much confidence recently. Could just be that we have a group of talkers. We shall see. But most see this as a good sign.

Because the chances of both a 5th round pick and an UDFA becoming long term above average starters is just low.

All I am saying is that we shouldn't look at the OL as a finished project. We don't have any difference makers on the line. I hope Jenkins will be one. Whitehair is solid, but has not been as good the last couple of years, Daniels who knows.
We need to continue to invest until we either have 5 above average guys... or a couple of difference makers and solid guys mixed in.
This OL project is likely to be a 2-3 offseason revamp.

All I am saying is we should be prepared to continue to invest in the OL, something Pace has not done consistently.
We have more talent, I am more intrigued by Borom and Mustipher than the bums we have had in the past, but it would be a win if they were both serviceable starters.
We need to aim higher than serviceable.

It was great to get the investment. Unless everything breaks right, I think we will need more.
But what do you think the ceiling if for this unit?
I think we should try and aspire to building a top 10 unit in the league.

I think they 'could' be real good for a while with the huge ifs of the new Ts. Borom and one of the T spots is the biggest ?. We have pretty good idea that Teven will be able to play one of them.
Once we see Whitehair as just a good player as opposed to our best player on the line. We'll have arrived.

Totally agree about continuing to invest in OL. Now that Pace went up and got his QB, he needs to settle in and draft for long term success.
Hopefully OL won’t continue to be a screaming need and we can replace aging talent as the priority, but there is always a need to replenish talent at OL.
