Moving on to the rest of your post...
Tre Thomas was Andy’s LT for his first 20 years there.
After that, he traded a lot for Jason Peters (and made him the highest paid LT of all time) and Jason Peters has been their LT for 12 years...granted some of those were after Andy left...
Then Andy got to KC and spent his first pick on...a left tackle.
Tre Thomas played 11 seasons in Philly, one of them before Andy arrived, so he wasn't drafted by that regime. Peters was acquired in 2009 and Andy was fired after the 2012 season. Far short of 10 years.
Again, NOBODY in the NFL drafts ANYBOY with the idea of "nailing things down for the next decade". Ever. It's pure fantasy to even think it. The average NFL career isn't even 5 years, let alone 10. [Reply]

We’re gonna have to agree to disagree because you are way off base here imo.
No team drafts a left tackle without the expectation of that pick locking that spot down for a decade. [Reply]
The Breeland thing baffles me. Maybe idk wtf im looking at, but i see a good experienced corner with size, speed and he's an aggressive willing tackler. How this guy hasn't gotten a multi year contract is beyond me. [Reply]
