It's pretty fun to real all these articles about how clever and manipulative BP and Ireland are. Like they are the master deceivers of all time. They are football guys. They have shown interest in signing JLong. It makes perfect sense. They need to improve their lines and he is the best lineman in the draft and fits their most important need. So why all the mess with it's a ploy. People are crazy. Why can't it just be what it is - they targeted the best player on their board who fits their top need. That's it!
If we traded down then what? We need a LT - Long is head and shoulders above everyone else - please don't tell me anyone is really close. There are some good potential tackles but nobody is that close to Long. Kid is a beast. You stay put unless blown away with an offer and you start to solidify your OL. Your head coach is an OL guy who hand picked his OL coach. You think your head coach doesn't know you win up front.
This one is a no brainer to me - he makes the biggest impact on the team by far because without him we have no running game and Beck gets killed again. Gholston is a huge risk and CLong is a 4-3 DE that would have to learn a new position. There is only one choice if you stay at one!
