If you can afford them, you can sign everyone and play them anywhere...

But then what's the whole point of the draft? Why waste putting the best player at their best position, just to sign someone to move them to a position where they're worse?

The same shit that happened with Whitworth, where everyone and their mother was saying to move Boling and play him at LG, so that Collins or someone else could play, "to have the best 5 OLineman playing at once."

Such stupid logic; why don't you play that other good lineman, at the position you want to move your BEST lineman to, instead of moving the better guy?

Jonah is the best we have right now and for all we know, he's better than Peters RIGHT NOW, so why sign someone and move things around?

Fix in the draft at this point.

How many good OL's are there with 3 starters still on their rookie deals?  Good luck finding one.  How many have basically rookies at T and a 2nd year G?

There's this myth that you can just draft a T in 2 or 3 and plug them in at RT and it will be this dramatic instant upgrade from Bobby Hart.  Last year, the average PFF grade for #2-6 T's taken was 59 with a high of like 63.

I'm not saying don't draft a T, but that's a move that will pay off a couple of years down the road.  You're very lucky if it pays immediate dividends.

Peters buys you a year or two of solid play to develop young T's.  He also provides a huge injection of veteran leadership, which this unit sorely lacks.  Would you rather Williams have Jason Peters or Bobby Hart as his mentor?
