Are you speaking on behalf of the FO, OL coach and ZT or as a fan?

10 spots is a lot in my opinion especially when you get to late round picks.


It may turn out to be a great pick at 28, but I would not bet my house on someone rated 35 on average and 5th or 6th OT taken in a draft to be better than the OT's already on my roster in year 1. I am just saying he may be a bit of project, but I trust the FO to decide on draft picks.

Jonah was a consensus best OL in the draft. He has been good, but never great and did not play year 1. Just one example, the draft to me is a bit of crap shoot after 1st 10 picks or so.
