that's where I disagree, you can never have enough talent...and Charles was clearly a better talent than any OL left at that point...

RBs get injured all time...and this guy gives a home run threat we lacked with potential to grow...

i love that more every day

That's the same excuse Okland would give for their decision to acquire a team full of high priced free agents and combine superstars at every position except for defenisve and offensive line. "You can never have enough speed or talent at the skill positions".

More often then not that approach gets you nowhere. What yo udont hear about is how New England traditionally drafts more offensive lineman year in and year out than any team - there is something to be learned from that approach.

The Chiefs have drafted as many or more offensive linemen as the Patriots have over the last 5 years.

Totally agree!! Nobody knows what LJ is gonna look like when we hit TC. Anybody willing to roll the dice that LJ is fine, and risk a full season of Kolby Smith as a feature workhorse is friggin nuts!!
