I think we took so long to get the pick in cuz we were contemplating trade downs but in the end they took the bird in the hand and I’m glad they did. I’d love a 2nd round pick to try to get a QB with, but we got the best OT in the draft, maybe best offensive player. You don’t pass that up

This line is now built for whatever comes next

Baker or Jimmy G can lead us to a wild card berth with this line

A first round rookie next year will have time to develop and not be ruined. 
 

This was smart. 

Or, y'know, let Darnold play behind an actual NFL OLine for once in his career.

Hopefully our answer at lt for years but Daniel Jeremiah has this quote...

Worst-case scenario, he slides inside and becomes a Pro Bowl-caliber guard

if getting a pro bowl guard is worst case, I can live with that.  Jeremiah had him #3 overall fwiw

I'm sure they were on the phone.  Most of the top 5 had their pick in pretty quickly.  In the end someone was trying to fleece us and Fitterer said "No Way"
