One thing I've never understood with the OT/OG and where to draft them thing. 

Even if you believe someone is a OG...but an All-Pro one, he's worth a damn Top 10 pick. Worst case scenario for Slater in Rhule's mind could've just been "eh, try him at OT. If it doesn't work, he's a stud OG". But even that made too much sense.

I know we love to pile on, but he was not the only one with these concerns. 

 

Very true, but it was completely unnecessary to say in that interview. It was essentially doubling down on their initial (wrong) assessment of his skillset, which not only makes him look bad, it makes the scouting look incompetent. "Didn't want to draft a guard that high" Implies they would have played him out of position had they actually drafted him instead of sticking him at LT where he has shown out. It basically says what they did to BC this season, they would have done to Slater too, and that just makes them look foolish.

He could have avoided the ire by saying, "Slater is a great player too, he was on our board but we just had Jaycee Higher."

That's it. that's all he had to say.

      I think it is more than what he showed last year.  We have built intelligently around him and given him every chance to succeed. The o-line is no longer a complaint here.  Actually in the strength column.  Chuba is a competent running back.  If you look at Dowdle's average per carry last year, they are on paper a dangerous duo.  We also added a promising rookie  from a football family to the mix. Legette had a rough first year, but a lot was asked of him.  We added arguably the best receiver in the draft to the room.  Renfrow is here and looks to be back to his old self after the health concerns.  Thielen said for the first time, he honestly doesn't know who is going to make the roster.  Coker out played XL last year. Where is the glaring weakness now on offense?

      I predict that if/when he does, you will begin a topic on the matter with yet another non embedded link.
