Nah, I definitely said "dumb" and shouldn't have. Of course, I've now had my coffee as well so we're good.

Problem is, nobody in the NFL is going to trade a guy like that for even a #32 because then they'd be in the same situation. So you can pay top dollar for one in FA, or you can draft a guy that you hope can be serviceable to begin with, learn fast, and get to Fisher's level quickly. I think a kid like Jalen Mayfield has all the tools, but only two years of playing. I think if he had one more year in college, he'd be a top ten pick. If we were to nab him, we'd have to hope we could coach him up and speed up that process. It's not ideal, but I don't know what better option there is.

Take Mayfield in the 1st and have Rankin or Remmers play OT next year.
I think they're going to have to get a FA tackle somewhere, whether in actual FA or retaining one of our guys.
Niang better be ready to go after opting out. No excuses.
