In retrospect, it worked out for Schwartz, although he could still probably get more money on the open market, even today.
To my eyes, there was a clear upgrade when Rankin started at the LG position. He had 5 starts, 0 penalties but unfortunately, never started next to Eric Fisher.
The Guard and Center positions, outside of the guys on last year's 53, seem to me more like a Practice Squad deal, especially given that it's been expanded to 14 from 10 and with the new CBA, veterans qualify for the PS as well.
So, Andy could have a few more raw candidates in which to tinker with during the season.

They tried to court some higher offers, didn't get the numbers they were hoping to get and tried to take the Browns offer which was rescinded and he became a FA.
I liked what I saw out of Rankin also, but he also ****ed his knee up pretty good in that Titans loss and who knows how he'll be afterwards until they see him take some snaps which won't be till TC if there's even a season at all.
