Was Kirkpatrick over Zeitler the right choice?

You're welcome to your opinion, but the general consensus is that he wasn't even a top 5 G.  Aside from QB, good players  do not get record setting deals.  An elite player may get more than a better player at the same position, but Zeitler isn't an elite player.  

I'm not sure where you think teams don't let good guards walk after their rookie deals.  The 49'ers let Mike Iupati walk.  The Ravens let Osemele and Ben Grubbs walk.  

Zeitler isn't worth $12 million a year.  Anybody arguing that he is is overating him based on our lack of quality offensive linemen.  

Pro Bowl is a joke. Its a popularity contest.  
Ravens had to let those guys walk. Cash strapped. Didnt WANT to. 

And Iupati was washed when he left SF. Injuries killed him.
