If we end up trading down to somewhere between 10 and 20 in the first round, I think it would be foolish to draft anyone other than Alex Barron. We hired Hudson Houck at nearly a million per year on a two-year contract -- let's get something OUT of the guy.
Let him develop a pro-bowl player at the most important position on the line. Houck may be here only two years, but he could create a pro-bowler at LT who lasts a decade or more.
Plus, assuming Ricky and Boston return, and we can draft a QB in the late 1st or 2nd, we'd have the makings of a completely revamped offense. Check the lineup:
QB -- Frerotte (for now -- maybe Frye or Campbell later on)
RB -- Ricky
WR -- Chambers
WR -- Booker
WR -- Boston
TE -- McMike
LT -- Barron
LG -- James
C -- Hadnot
RG -- Carey
RT -- McDougle
How ya like THAT?
