That's funny considering he's my #3 rated OT. I wonder what that makes the other two? Darrisaw or several other OT prospects would be a huge upgrade over the garbage we now have. We know what we have now isn't working, so why not take a chance to upgrade the position? Are you one of those fans who are too scared too make a move, because it might not work out? Are you are satisfied with keeping subpar players? It sounds that way. If we wanna become a winning franchise, we have to change that type of thinking. We've been gun shy for way too long and where has that gotten us? We're always picking near the top of the draft and nothing ever changes. 

As far as comparing anyone to Boselli, I would never do that. He was the GOAT. There will never be another Tom Brady and there will never be another Tony Boselli. I'm just looking to upgrade players. If we had a team full of good players with no real stars, I'd be perfectly satisfied. Consistency across the board should bring at least one championship. If Lawrence is half as good as advertised, he will be the best QB this franchise has ever had. The smart thing would be to protect him.

You have no idea if any of these guys would be a huge upgrade especially their rookie year. Actually the chances are pretty slim that they could even play up to Cam's level this coming season.

You keep talking about protecting your QB yet you advocate cutting our most experienced LT and taking a LT in the late first or early second, which means there are question marks on how they will perform if they are still sitting there, and take a chance on that rookie being able to protect our rookie franchise QB's blindside.

That's not committing to protecting him. That's just being extremely callous and cheap.

In reality you are taking a unhedged high risk bet with our QB at stake just so we can say we made a halfassed effort to get a good LT.

Your foolhardy approach to "upgrading" LT could force us into a position that we may have to play someone that makes Cam look like Boselli if things don't happen to fall in the right place.
