No, my argument is that Geno's the best player in the draft.
Your argument is that he isn't and that the entire top of the draft is a crapshoot. I have responded to this argument by pointing out the absurdity in
creating a hole in your roster in that environment. You continue to ignore that we
have a left tackle already. Drafting a 'crapshoot' left tackle when you already have one is stupid - the end.
And if he's not a crapshoot left tackle, he'd damn well better be elite.
You honest to God think it's acceptable for a team to create a hole at LT and fill it with a marginal upgrade using the first overall pick in the draft?
And yes, all things being equal, when you already have a good player at LT and there is no standout talent available to you, you draft the guy that has the most potential to make you truly elite. On this team, that player is Geno Smith.
Or are you really going to try to argue that upgrading from Brandon Albert to Eric Fisher is what's going to springboard this franchise into championship contention?
