Well, we did just trade a 2nd and 3rd for a guy who couldn't get a bite in FA last year.

I wondered if there might be some medical reason. Guess we'll see.

[Messier]

Surprising move. They must have seen him as a real weakness on the line. There are a number of FA tackles.

Weird.

You know, I could actually see this as an option.

LeVitre is pretty damn good.

I also think in watching film, Dorsey, Reid, and Heck might have decided that they can find a replacement who's better suited for their scheme in either Stephonson or Jeff Allen, who I belive is better suited to play RT than guard.

I don't think this is necessarily an indication that Joekel is the pick.

This, of course, is merely speculation on my part.

Tomorrow: Dorsey trades 1.1 for Bulaga.

[Tribal Warfare]

Well, mother****er, they are trading down for a OT or telegraphing one with the 1st overall.

[CoMoChief]

wtf is going on?

jfc at least trade the guy and get SOMETHING for him. he's not some scrub, he could fill a huge need for a team.

And there's the elephant in the room.

This would explain it.

Nick Jacobs ‏@Jacobs71

My prediction is Jake Long at LT and Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson at RT

I could see Allen;played LT at UI.

Although it isn't much value, it is some. ***** got fifth round picks for Tank Edwards. Granted, Tank was cheaper, but Winston is a far better player on a reasonable deal.

Didn't the Texans cut him because of a failed physical.

Something to do with his back..

[ILChief]

The way this has went I expect a long term deal for Albert soon

[L.A. Chieffan]

[Nightfyre]

Who the **** drafts a RT at 1?
