Burkhead was never going to be a starter here. That was a pipe dream. He needed to go to a team like the Pats that is creative.
Whitworth was the oldest starting Tackle in the NFL last season. He's not going to play at an elite level much longer. Losing him as an elite performer was coming one way or the other. It sucks...
As I look at it...we knew Zeitler was leaving...so we're Whitworth down and we gained Smith and Minter.
Nice post yet again Pistons.
Have been calling for an upgrade over Peko forever. With Billings, DeShawn Williams, Hardison and probably a draft pick
we could be so much better in the middle of our D-line this year it isn't funny. If we add a talented pass rusher at RDE we
could be a very tough team to pass on in this passing league.
We were tough to pass on last year and this year we could be adding the likes of WJ3 to the fold. Shawn should get better.
We need to draft a RB with Gio's injury and both him and Hill's poor play as of late. As much as i hate what Mixon did, he
is quite possibly the most talented RB in this draft and if we take him in the 2nd i guess i would have to root for him.
Would rather have McCaffrey in the 2nd though all the way cause Mixon was such a dumbass.
If we paid Whit what he got in LA and he fell off it could of really hurt this team more than letting him go.
Zeit was a poor run blocker period, he didn't deserve that contract, crazy Clowns.
