I certainly don’t think Little is a day 1 starter because he’s been out of football for so long, but I also don’t think he’s a “project”. There’s a difference.
You guys sound like you’re coming from a place of desperation and are trying to force a trade up. It might not “look that great for letting the board fall to you theories”, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to go the panic route either.
If this team goes into TC with Okung, Remmers, Niang, and Little (Tega Wanogho too) they are FAR better off at T than they were when they cut Fisher and Schwartz.
Worst case scenario, you can always sign Fisher once he’s healthy if something happens to Okung. I don’t think anybody is going to sign him anytime soon, so that should remain an option as well.
Is it ideal? Obviously not. Ideal would’ve been signing Williams, but that didn’t happen.
I also don’t think it’s a guarantee that trading up for Cosmi or somebody like that solves our LT issues day 1 either. Cosmi might take some time to get ready to play just like Niang and Little. There are no day 1 guarantees when you’re talking about rookies. The best we can do is add a stop gap and make sure we get a T somewhere in the first 2 rounds.
I just don’t see how you can go into a draft telling yourself you HaVE to trade up or you HAVE to take the best LT available at 31. You won’t ever get me to agree with a panic/desperation move like that.
