Please tell me you're kidding.
I spent 1/2 hour researching this, I'm not spending the rest of my day digging up the hundreds of posts that advocate taking a LT with our first pick no matter who it is, all based on need. I know you're more in tune to this place than you've lead on with that question. |

I think your "LT in R1 or Bust" group is a myth. From everything I've read on this BB most people want to go Jake Long , Ellis, or Dorsey at number 5. Thats far from being LT or Bust in my opinion. Now I agree with you, and I think a lot of other do to that we don't want to see the Chiefs reach in at #5 for a LT not names Long.

I'm trying to figure out which one of you is voyager, or if you're all voyager on multiple accounts.

Depends on the kind of Bust we're getting instead of Long.

That's LT or Bust at its finest. Passing on greater talent for lesser talent, based purely on need. |

Let me clear something up.
This isn't about Jake Long. IF, and that's a BIG IF, Jake Long is there at #5, he's possibly the BPA, and I'm fine with taking him. I think if we all take our homer glasses off, we can all agree that Long falling to the 5 slot is a longshot at best. Based on that, there are plenty of folks who are hell bent on either trading down to grab Clady or Otah, or worse yet, taking one of them at #5. That thought process is the epitome of LT or Bust. Passing on a greater talent for a lesser talent, based solely on need alone. |

How are those people "LT or Bust"? Maybe they don't feel Clady or Otah is a massive, franchise-killing reach at 5?

Because you'd be passing on at LEAST one of them to draft Clady or Otah. |

Hell, for all we know, the consensus among NFL teams may be that Clady or Otah is really the best tackle in the draft, and Jake Long's going to drop to 30. We have no way of knowing. |
