Now I need your help again. I gotta pick between Eli Apple and Riley Reiff. So who you got?
I think he has more upside and long-term potential than Reiff.
At this stage of Reiff's career he's a solid 1 to 2 year stop gap.
Apple is only 26, is having the best year of his career, and has a high upside pedigree as a former top 10 pick. He has held down the starter role even with Waynes allegedly healthy.
Plus, I think the perception on Apple is still cautious around the league, especially since his personality is...grating... I think we could sign him for a relative bargain.
Plus, when it comes to rookies, tackles generally have success earlier than corners. I hear corner is the hardest position to transition from college to the NFL.
I think it's more likely we can nab a day 1 starter at RT from the draft than CB. Especially with how late we're picking.
