How many games do you think Dee Ford will start this next season?
So, getting a high level starter at a position, any position, isn't as important as a guy who's going to end up with most of his time on special teams?
Okay...
And we didn't take a starter at G with our third. We took a nickelback/special teams DB. We took a guard in the sixth who isn't going to see the light of day. Ever. And now we still have the same massive hole at OG that we did prior to the draft. So how are we a better team for this?

Jeff Allen started 16 games last year too.
Starts and all conference honors in college. Only sacofbats.
