He meant that they weren't going to create draft value in a player that isn't good enough just because there's a position need. Like, if the OT's on the board are garbage and not suited for the NFL they aren't going to invent reasons to just take one.
The Tackles in this year's draft were trash. McLinchy in any other draft would have been a friend 1st rounder. The Miller kid a 2nd at best. After that, the cliff is huge in talent. They were all very bad after about the 3rd tackle off the board. Why waste a pick when they can sign a UDFA as a body and get the same quality player?
I keep hearing this, but 8 tackles went in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Are we to believe Marvin is smarter than the Steelers, Ravens, Raiders, Cowboys, Vikings, Redskins, Rams, and Bucs? Did 1/4th of the entire league just reach on garbage tackles?
Plus, couldn't we also use competition at RG at the very least?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
