Canales said we weren't going to draft for depth, so whose spot is Freeling taking? 

Clearly, he will compete to start at LT

Good thing we signed Rasheed Walker... Sucks to blow a pick on a line we've already invested 100's of millions of dollars in

Its like you almost understand why but not quite

Boom......so much for all the insiders.

 

I mean, there was an argument that he wouldn't fall to us.

Should’ve taken Thieneman. Wonder if the team thinks Ickey is 100% cooked? Idk anything about this guy but hopefully he’s good. I will rarely complain about offensive line, it’s so damn important. Also of course they go to commercial during our pick like always

It could’ve been you, but someone posted awhile back the stats on guys coming back from torn patellas and until that post, I never realized how bad of an injury it was in terms of prognosis and ability to return to form.

After reading that paired with the extension, I just went ahead and assumed he was done here whether any of us knew it or not.

We've certainly invested a lot in our O-line. Hope it works out. It's a "boring" pick but it could pay off down the road if the dude is a stud, Icky comes back and can move to RT or guard. We have been a carousel of linemen this year so I'm not against it.

Whoever gets hurt first. Tackle has a much higher value than safety, especially with how Evero plays ours.

I was happy with the Walker/Moton combo

Boring but necessary pick

Exactly. This the type of pick a smart front office makes.
