Quote:I'm not advocating passing on a stud LT for a clearly inferior player because of a need and I agree with what you've said above. I think the team has to draft blue chip defensive players while supplementing with FA's as this helps next season and beyond. I was just reacting to some who feel like LT is what the team absolutely has to draft because Joeckel hasn't lived up to his second overall draft position. Like I've implied, Joeckel has played well enough for the team to not reach for a LT unnecessarily.


This is pretty accurate. It would be nice to have a good C to go along with Linder (already a stud) and Cann (I think will be very good). Zane Beadles is awful and I can't wait for him to be gone or on the bench. While Joeckel may be average or below average, Beadles is flat out awful.
