Very true. Unfortunately we just don't have the draft capitol to gamble this year, especially at 6. Not playing a lot of our draft picks from last year has really hurt us because we have no idea what we do or don't have. Last year's failure was much larger than the record reflects.

That's just as worrisome as a LT with sloppy footwork. Some things you can just look at and say stay the hell away from this guy.

We got lucky Daniel Snyder wanted Haskins so badly. He forced them to take him ahead of us then Sweat with their 2nd first round pick. I remember wondering what the hell Washington was thinking when they took Haskins knowing they needed a DE.

With Rhule as HC, I don't think there is. This team is extremely dysfunctional right now and it starts with our HC. Who (other than Tepper) can look at the way our team has been running the last 2 years and honestly say that Matt Rhule is going to turn this franchise around and build a winner?

Finding any offensive linemen who is serviceable as a backup in the 6th is ok in my book. It's about what I would expect in that round. A warm body that can play a game here and there but not a guy you expect to start week to week.

If we hadn't already invested so heavily in Darnold and given up our 3rd this year for Henderson, I wouldn't be so against taking a chance on one of these guys. But we really can't afford to do that now with all the holes that we need to fill. Unless we get one of the top 3 tackles, the move needs to be a trade back and recoup some picks just to recover from the debacle that is that trade and 5th year option.

The fact that if Burns hadn't been available the pick would have been Little is a relief and makes you want to throw up at the same time. We had so much opportunity in that draft and blew it on Greg Little and Will Grier.

Easy enough to do. Entertainment and business combined into one venue. That's what a good tax accountant is for.

Nyah. Just tired of being promised champagne and caviar and getting Boones farm and twizzlers.

There's some truth to that about trade value. Without clear class elite talent, it's possible picks go for less. I don't think 24 and a 2nd would do it for 6, but I don't think that kind of move would take 2(3) 1sts and a 2nd either.

I don't see this year our 6th pick having as much value as most other years. Minshew, 15 and a 2nd would be a good trade for us I think. If there were clear leaders in the draft class, I'd say 15, 18 Minshew and a 2nd or 3rd, but I don't think this class warrants that kind of value in a trade.

Dream: Trade 6 for Minshew, 15 and a 2nd. Trade 15 for 20 and pick up an extra 3rd and 4th. Take Penning at 20, Muma or Zion Johnson (big dream) with the 2nd, add a FS in the 3rd, 4th best C available. Nightmare: Detroit calls and bluffs Rhule into giving up 6 and next years 1st for Pickett.

I think it's too early to say what BC is either way simply because he hasn't been given the opportunity to start at LT with any consistency. Could be a wasted pick or he could be a solid LT. Unfortunately right now we don't know and aren't in a position to really gamble on him being the answer. He probably had a really rough year trying to play 4 positions on the line, especially going from tackle to center.

The really sad part is he was better than Irving in preseason. He should have been starting day 1, or at least a couple of weeks in.

Except it's not interesting because things aren't changing. We're losing and losing badly. Trying to attact all these new fans is great, but that typically requires a product you can get excited about. Matt Rhule isn't that product.

Before trying to rebrand, maybe they should actually try winning records in back to back years. You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd. Right now, Tepper is giving fans a swirlie in a state fair Porta potty.

Usually being competitive requires winning.

Proxy mine battles were the shiznit.

I think BC could be the answer because Rhule doesn't like him. He's everything Rhule didn't want to have playing at LT and still looked better than his day 1 FA LT choice. The sad part is we're here now looking at LT when the majority of the Huddle knew in preseason he was the best LT on our roster.

Our only way out is to ride with Sammy D and let Rhule walk. Staying locked in mediocrity helps no-one.

Draft the best LT available IF one of the top 3 is still available. Keep BC and groom him as a swing tackle. Having a capable backup tackle that can play either side can't be undervalued. If an injury happens, move him into that position. Don't over think this.

Boo fuggin hoo.

According to the article, that's when he said it. It's not that big a deal to me. How many guys say crap like that when they get cut, traded, or even fired from their job. Granted he still sucked, but telling the Jets they made a mistake is no big deal.

Take Cross and be done. 2 1sts are great but with a possible franchise LT sitting there, take him and be done. Keep BC as a swing tackle.
