Quote:what i dont get is if we do draft a franchise qb, why would you trade one of your starting tackles? why make the offensive line worse when you plan on drafting teddy. it would stunt his growth. 

 

Because by the time Teddy got here to play, the team would have to negotiate with said Left Tackle and come to an agreement on a contract. What further complicates this situation is that there is a player already on the roster who grades out as a competent Left Tackle in his own right.

 

While your Offensive Line as a whole may have gotten worse by the time Teddy gets here, you will have enough opportunities, and cash on hand since you didn't sign a lucrative Left Tackle Free Agent contract, to bolster the Offensive Line to an acceptable level.
