At the time it was a good pick. There was no guarantee that KK would be back. Without him we would've been extremely thin at the position like always before the Gettleman era. Now it looks kind of bad since we have two starters in place, but who knows. He can still develop into a very good player imo and you can never have too many big men up front with all the injuries. He looked great in camp before getting hindered with injuries himself. I'd rather go Butler again than a random wr that shula could probably never get involved/develop or have Ron bury him beneath pet players.

Yes... because with the power of hindsight... the logical thing to do would be to still pick him ahead of: 

Emmanuel Ogbah, Hunter Henry, Myles Jack, Sterling Shepard, Derrick Henry, Michael Thomas, Deion Jones, Vonn Bell etc. etc.

For those that hate Seattle and enjoy their demise, this helped.  They thought we would go elsewhere and they would land him.  As a result they traded assets for Reed, traded major assets for Richardson who isn’t there anymore, and drafted a total bum in McDowell as a result.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
