Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher will both be free agents in 2 years. I could see us re-signing one but not both. So if we wait 2 years, are we relying on a rookie to man one of the tackle positions? [Reply]

Wouldn’t it be nice for 3rd rounder Dorian O’Daniel to live up to his potential this season? I was high on him coming out of the draft. I watched Ben Niemann’s entire career at Iowa, and never would have dreamed he’d see an NFL field more than O’Daniel. [Reply]

That would be nice. It would have been nice to have seen him last season as a coverage backer on 3rd down, but alas that never happened. If he couldn't even get on the field towards the end of last year I don't have much faith that he can finally put it together this year, but I hope I'm wrong. It would be interesting to know what specifically his problems have been. [Reply]

Rankin was a small improvement over the complete dumpster-fire that Wylie is.
That's not nearly good enough.
We have ONE real unicorn, and that's Patrick fuckin' Mahomes.
We must do a better job of protecting him.
Nothing else is as important. Not fucking linebackers covering RB's, nobody can score fast enough to keep up with us that way as long as that's all they've got.
We need to improve that interior line. Rankin is not a wash with Wisniewski, that's completely stupid. Wylie is complete ass, and Reiter is a back-up at best. LDT wasn't looking great, but perhaps it's issues from the injury.
We need at least two upgrades from guard to guard.
And we need a blue-chip corner. And we need a cover backer. It'd be nice if O'Daniel would develop.
But don't you dare put your SB aspirations on Martinis fuckin' Rankin being good enough. [Reply]
