I'd love for an Okung-like signing that takes some pressure off him starting immediately, even if that means he starts mid-season and lets him at least start learning how to combat NFL rushers. That said, I think he's much more advanced as a prospect in pass pro than in the run game, much like Forsythe, except he comes with much more athleticism and far better footwork. He'd take his lumps, but I'm pretty confident we wouldn't see the Super Bowl 2.0. [Reply]

We’re never going to get a first rd prospect picking so low, but getting CEH’s, Hardman’s and Thornhill’s is just fine.
The problem is when you start getting horrible ROI with picks like Speaks, Kpassagnon.
Lot of people hate picks like Hardman bc he isn’t healthy Sammy but forget that he’s been productive and helped us in multiple playoff games
Thats exactly my point though. Those are 2nd round type prospects. You can get those in the 2nd round every year. [Reply]
The thing with a vet signing and a high draft pick route is how Andy treats the OL. If he starts with the vet, he's not playing the rookie unless injury occurs. [Reply]

And as long as Okung is healthy....then that’s fine. [Reply]

Not every year. But if it's what it takes to fill the LT spot with someone they really like, yeah, I'd do it this year.
Seattle has consistently done it and they're still winning double digit games and making the playoffs every year. The Chiefs have done it the past however long and they're still thriving.
Those end of the first round picks just don't hold the value. [Reply]

Are you really going to cite Seattle?
The number one thing holding them back from going to the Super Bowl is that their drafts overall have been AWFUL.
Downright awful.
Seriously. They're not thriving, they're limping along due to a Herculean effort by a top 3 QB to overcome all the dipshit moves they've made. [Reply]

If our expectation is to be the Patriots and win that many SB's, we're gonna fail.
I operate under the expectation of winning double digit games and being right there every year in the mix.
Seattle's problem isn't that they've traded the picks. They've got pretty good return when they have. It's that when they haven't, they suck at drafting. [Reply]

Dude, their personnel moves have been awful.
Who have the acquired, other than Adams, in the past 5 years via trade? They've traded away a bunch of guys for draft picks and turned those picks into jack squat.
No I don't expect to be the Patriots. But you picked probably one of the worst teams in football to use as your example, seriously. [Reply]
