What is kugbila role on the team?

[CelticCat]

Kugbila was a 4th rounder.  We did not have a third rounder, so he was the third pick.

 

I was referring to Mathis, he was a third rounder not a second.

 

Just noting he took a long time to develop, went to 2 other teams before getting it. I'm not giving up on Kug BTW.

Yes, but you can't count those because they all went into the season as backups, and only went to starting duty because of injuries, terrible play, or being so far out of the playoffs that they wanted to evaluate.  

 

What? Most draftees start off as backups. I was agreeing with mage, just noting there were more starters than were listed.

 

Kug had Garry Williams penciled in as a starter ahead of him, so even had everyone remained healthy he may not have seen the field much. Unfortunately every damn G we had got injured at some point.

Our offensive line future seems to be bright but how many years do you think Kalil can play?

Mathis was just voted the 88th best player in the league--I had no idea that he bounced around like that--lost track.  Kugbila, according to Gettlemen, is our other OL draft pick in 2014.  I did think Mathis was a second rounder though.

I think Kalil is one of those cerebral guys who can play into his mid thirties.  Contract could be an issue with Gettlemen, but I doubt any time soon.  With young guards, he is very safe right now.
