Meh, not one of his better articles. Trying to justify the way the draft went.
And he was ok with it for the most part, though towing the company line a bit much. He did not convince me to change my opinion. I will still go with boom or bust.

He did spend most of the article about why they did not address C, and why Biadasz could still be the guy they like. Made some good points, but still not enough to convince me otherwise.

Love how Spagnola knocks Linderbaum down a full inch and rounds Biadasz’s height up from their official Combine heights to make his point.

Mickey is a doofus.

Not sure why he thinks if Dallas was seeking a true guard that it would have traded up for "one of those guys" since the Cowboys had Smith higher rated than any of the true guards. It's easy to see that guard was the top priority. The fact that he might also be the eventual answer at left tackle is a bonus.
