He had an off-year last season after his injury, which hopefully keeps his demand down and allows us to sign him at a reasonable rate:
Also, we obviously want someone that can run block, but pass blocking is MUCH more important, so his low run blocking grade doesn't concern me as much.
Bringing in him (assuming he can play at his 2021 form) would be very smart because it would bring in a proven vet and open up options for us, even if we do go with a tackle early because it wouldn't hurt to have depth.
I don't think he'll command too much money coming off the injury and hopefully he's excited enough at what we're building here to sign with us!
Makes a lot of sense honestly to wait till he is cut and land Donavan. Maybe he comes back 100% for us yah never know.
Sure isn't AS much of a gamble as Taylor Lewan staying healthy.
