How people still can say that they would feel comfortable with the current o-line situation because we will be able to add as a result of june 1st cuts.
These same people also wouldn't mind it if we took lb, de, dt, or possibly safety with our first pick. They always defend there outrageous thinking with the over hyped phrase BPA. Receiver would be a viable option with the first if we traded down, thus still having the ability with our 2nd pick to nab our coveted rg or rt that we so desperatly need. However, if your going to look at it like that, we would be better of drafting o-line first regardless, because of the deep wr crop compared to the stingy o-line crop. It is pivital that we land our big man before the season starts.
Have some finfans learned nothing from the past? Have they forgotten what got us in to the mess we were in last year concerning o-line? We didn't land o-line in the draft for whatever reason, the reason is not the point. The point is we thought we could land some after the draft, but we could not. As a result, we went in to the 03 season with a o-line that was weak at best. And wouldn't you know, as luck would have it, some of our boys got injured. I think we all know what happened after that.
And here we are now, in the same situation, only that rick has done some outstanding moves in free agency and has given us the oppurtunity to really focus in on the o-line stud that we need not only for this season but for the future. Do some finfans really want to chance it again and go with a player that is not our need. Please don't come @ me with "Our lb's and dt's our getting old, we need there replacements", that is such crap. Yes, we do need depth @ those positions, so what, what we really need is a o-lineman that can lay some d-linemen on there A$$ for ricky; maybe you people forgot that this team lives and dies with the running game. I said it before and I will say it again, if we overlook o-lineman in this draft and wait until june 1st cuts there is a strong possibility that we will get burned. I would rather get burned trying to pick up depth for a position, rather then get burned trying to pick up a critical and some may say last piece of the puzzle, what about you guys?? If andrews is not there it doesn't mean we pick BPA, because(although alot of people on this board think we do) we DON'T have the luxury of doing it. Andrews slipping does not mean we abandon our quest for rg or rt, it means we either get the best possible partner to trade down with or we use our 20th to pick up the next best o-lineman(smiley imo). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if rick thinks smiley is better suited for us then andrews(as "finatic" eluded to in an earlier post wich I loved). Either way, we HAVE to land one of these road graders for the sake of our running game(the foundation of this team).
Like a wise man once said, those who forget the past our doomed to repeat it.
Seems to me like some finfans have really bad memories.
NOTE: If you disagree please don't come at me with juvenile reasons or start to bash. I would like to hear some thought out posts that fully explain why you disagree, not petty one-liners. Thanks.
