Yeah if I recall correctly he had some rookie struggles vs some of the league's best pass rushers. But he was only responsible for giving up 2 sacks. And in 29 of his 31 starts he was either a rookie or coming off a major injury. I don't think he's put enough tape out there to call him a bust. But that's just me personally.

Don't get it twisted, I'm all about moving Cam inside or replacing him if there is a better LT to replace him with.
I'm just not ready to replace him with a guy most of the experts (ya know guys who know more than us and get paid so) pin as a RT or OG in the NFL.
But I'm all about drafting Wirfs since most of the experts consider he could be an all-pro guard.
I'm even open to the idea of him competing with Cam Robinson if the coaches want to see what he's got. I'm just not sure why you think a guy with like 3 total starts at LT in college is going to come in and be substantially better than what we have now.... But maybe you get paid to scout for the NFL or something and just hang out here for fun?

Calling for Cam to move inside isn't calling him a bust. What might have happened if the Giants (or us) moved Flowers to guard? He went to actually quite good for the Redskins and earned a $10M AAV payday. Maybe one of his former teams could have benefited from trying that instead of keeping him pigeon holes in a position he clearly wasn't equipped for.

Moving positions is all about knowing what traits a position needs and what traits a player has. At least theoretically. Like what we're doing with Myles Jack. He has never played WILL yet everyone on the boards (and the FO for that matter) assumes he will be much better there because he has traits that align to the position. It's the same thing with Wirfs at tackle...except that he has actually done it before and did it quite well.
