He does get paid millions. So maybe the reason they didn’t take Guyton was because … the grade on him wasn’t much different than the grade on guys like Suamataia.
They just tried to get through a season taking lumps with young guys who needed to develop based on their traits, and people are complaining that wasn’t good enough.

Well, saying they should have traded to 13 to get Rashawn Slater is really out of touch with reality and possibilities.
If you want to talk about that draft, Christian Darrisaw is the guy to discuss. In hindsight, I’d imagine they would try harder to get into 21 or 22.
That’s really the only realistic alternative since Fisher popped his Achilles’ … but even Darrisaw had grades on him similar to a lot of guys who have ended up playing G.
