Only answer that I can imagine is that Paul Alexander and Marvin got together to give Tobin a snowjob about how they were going to draft Two franchise Tackles, for the price of One. Turns out, they should have just drafted One real Tackle, and spent the other pick on Center, LB, DE, or Safety...
From what I understand, Piano Man was frothing at the mouth over Cedric's athleticism (seems I read he was "pounding on the table" on draft day? hopefully figuratively speaking), and being the overblown, self absorbed ego centrist that he is, thought he could "teach him his ways". The game has passed Alexander by....like 5 or 6 years ago. It's time to put a boot in his ass.
