The point I was trying to make that you clearly missed is that our starting Day 1 DL never got a change to play 1 snap together, much more even 1 game. I don't care about Reader and Daniels playing a few games together.

1. How good do you think the DL would've been with a HEALTHY----- Lawson/Hubbard   Daniels   Reader  Atkins  Dunlap??  (And, solid subs Tupou and Wren who never played a down this year)

2. You are 100% wrong on Atkins. Where are you getting your information from?? Haven't you been watching all year long??? He couldn't even play the 1st several games b/c he hurt his shoulder the last scrimmage before Week 1; and, it hasn't healed since, and he'll need minor surgery on it after the year. The DC is doing him a favor by letting him play 3rd Downs hoping he can put pressure on the QB!            

3. So, you're telling me that Waynes, who was the Starting #1 DB for MIKE ZIMMER, and who the Bengals spent 45 Mill on, isn't a #1 CB for us or this League? So, now Jpoore knows better than NFL Scouts and Zimmer, etc.....????               

Some of the stuff you say is just straight ridiculous man.

#1. No I don’t. Bc Lou is the dc and he’s running our players out of the building. U can blame it on injury however u want. #2. Nah geno is being misused simple as that. #3. Are u kidding me?!?! We got ROASTED around the league for that deal. He’s a slightly better Dre Kirkpatrick. Put up a poll anywhere on any site is waynes a cb1 nobody agreeing with you. He’s a solid cb2.

The reality is that Im tired of addressing the line with UDFA and 6th round picks.  We have the most important piece that a franchise can have.

Is there a better way to approach the line with FA and the draft?  I'm not sure there is a great market for OTs this year in free agency.  And if there is one that comes free, do you blow $15 million per year on them or do you draft Sewell and use that money on another position.

I’m not talking about 6th round picks or udfas. I’m talking about improving the team. tackle is INSANELY deep this year. The tackle class this year= wr class last year. It’s that deep. I would take any of the top 5 tackles plus 3 extra top 60 picks over next year or 2 to trade back 8-10 spots. I’ll say again I’ll take Wyatt Davis Alex leatherwood Asante Samuel and a couple other high picks following year over Sewell.
