Every one of the posters that you are suggesting does only dismisses the idea that you must spend high draft picks on them every ****ing year.

You are doing what you always do to prop up your side of a debate, which is over stating the arguments of the opposite side.

It's stupid and dishonest.

And you are doing what you always do, which is to undersell how exaggerated your side of the debate has been.

Give me a ****ing break. If one side believes you shouldn't burn high draft picks on linemen (and I'm one of them), then that means you don't think the position is important. If one side believes linemen aren't playmakers or difference makers (and I'm one of them), then that means you don't think the position is important.

If you truly believe in what you're saying, then you should have no hesitation to give a guy like Rishaw Jackson, Eric Kush, or Rokevius Watkins a shot at starting at Guard. Instead, we're going to hear people bitch about not paying $5M for a Guard or spending $9M for a Left Tackle.

One side gets ****ing tired of true fan and media dildo telling us that we need to draft a lineman in the first round every year.

I personally think interior lineman are undervalued, but I also believe that you can find those guys in the mid rounds far more consistently than playmakers on the outside of an offense or the back end of a defense.

And I personally have not complained about giving Rishaw Johnson an opportunity.

Would I have liked to re-sign Shwartz?
Sure.

But I am not overly concerned with it.

You are not in the majority then. I agree with everything you said here.

Which was my point earlier with regards to Eric Kush. 2nd pick in the 6th round. Pick number 170 overall. Only a couple of picks away from being a "mid round" pick. Yet we have folks in this thread unwilling to give him a shot. Go figure.
