For All You Guys Hating On Whit

Two tackles in the first two rounds with the expectation of both your bookends leaving. Both decent prospects, save money and still have adequate protection. It just happened that NEITHER of them have really panned out.

I respect the opinion , but I hated it.

We had other areas of need, areas that have become a problem now. And instead of addressing them, we flushed a top 10 LT. That's mind bogglingly bad. If we'd used that pick to snag a defensive playmaker or a te, kept Whit and tried to prepare for his eventual departure with a later pick, inagine how different the last few years would've been.

I hated the og pick. It was saying "hey we're going to play it safe from a value pick stand point."
