How long would you expect Linsley to play here (if he signed)? Two years? Four years? I suppose if the answer is four years, you probably wouldn't make the same investment of draft capital behind him as you might if the answer is only two years.
JMO, but if Linsley is a one or two year solution, then I don't see a strong argument against drafting a Humphrey/ Myers/ Meinerz. They can get experience somewhere on the line in the short term and slide over to center as a long term solution when Linsley becomes too old/ expensive/ hurt.
Linsley is a 3-4 year solution. He's not a 1-year stopgap. [Reply]
in all honestly, I attempted to write a post with Williams and Thuney and figured it wasn't worth it because I'd just get shouted down. Plus, personally I thought BV would have wanted to solve the OC spot, but they obviously feel that they can draft a guy or Allegretti can hold down the spot. [Reply]

I think everyone had a good idea what Thuney would cost coupled with the facts that LG has been a plug with whoever can breathe position here and LT and LDE as big-ticket items.
I don't think it's about nobody wanting better on the interior or being unhappy Veach actually went that route, but you have to admit it was highly unexpected. I think the national audience was equivocally wowed. [Reply]
The Chiefs got tired of having a human turnstile at the guard position. I'm just kinda surprised that nobody here thought out loud in that direction. Usually one of the resident experts here hits it and gets to say "I told you". [Reply]

Wilson, Thuney, Reiter, Long/LDT, Niang
I wouldn't sign Wilson to bring water to my dog at this point. [Reply]

Wilson's football career is over. He's done. [Reply]
