His coaching in Cleveland has been fine. He's probably just bad.

And bad is still better than Reid.

I agree - I suggested am Erving trade in the draft forum yesterday specifically to get rid of Nah Reid. This is a good trade provided that it costs Reid his job and not Witzmann.

But folks are going a wee crazy here. A 5th is about right for a swing tackle/backup interior lineman. This isn't the guy that was a 1st rounder when Direkshun foolishly spent months jerking off to him.

He's a below average NFL player with a cheap contract and some versatility. A 5th is fair. This is a nominal asset spent to address the margins of the roster and a position of some need. It's not a heist - it's just a move that you should probably expect of a solid GM.

The jury is still out on him. He's played for two years with the worst coaching in the NFL. A 5th is a steal for what could still be a really good player. There was a reason he was that high of a pick, and that reason hasn't been disproven yet.

He could absolutely suck. But a 5th is a cheap, cheap, cheap price to pay for a guy who could still turn into a starter and good player - at a position of DIRE need for us, as well.

Agree. Absolutely doesn't matter. We're going to get comp picks to make up four these future low round picks. These guys are basically free.

For whom?

Not sure where the comp picks are gonna come from. I don't see many pending FAs that are going to draw significant FA interest on this squad. We have our core locked up for a couple of years and the aging guys aren't gonna get comp kinda contracts.
