Popular Post Falconcheff 5,492 Posted April 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2019 Brother, of course we did. By trading back into the FIRST ROUND, we manipulated the fifth year options for what will be the core of our starting Oline. While every other team that drafts their Olinemen in the second round and beyond will be trying to figure out how to pay to keep them, we will be exercising our fifth year options with these guys...

The guys that we paid in FA are not top prospects, these guys are. Also, with the guys we picked up in FA, these young guys don't need to get thrown to the wolves immediately. We can let them compete for positions, and allow them to develop if they're not the best option on day 1. This is actually a pretty smart approach.

If we were going to draft lindstrom, we knew the whole time he would be available at 14 so why sign 2 guards to big money? I would have rather spent it on the D.

Matt was running for his life last year. Having the depth on the OL will truly be a blessing. I understand the concern about the DL and the lack of depth there. We still have 7 picks to address that.
