I am just being realistic bout Hakeem. I want him to succeed, but some guys around here have been claiming he is "the answer" for our O-line problems. Why would anyone say that about the 180th player (34th offensive lineman) taken in the draft?
I could see if he was some project that could be much better next year. Say a gifted athlete that just dropped in the draft because he needs a year to add bulk, or some overweight guy who has dropped a lot of weight, or an injured player who needed to recover from an injury. But Hakeem is none of those things. He is just a guy that every team scouted by passed on for 5 rounds.
No one has said that.
There are some guys that liked him through the draft process and wanted the team to give him a chance at guard when Fred Johnson and Billy Price were in there giving up sacks and pressure.
I liked him through the process but I know he needs that first year to rebuild his body before he's NFL ready. I also said I wouldnt mind him getting a shot at LG after the bye week if XSF was back...That was a couple weeks ago.
