Also, he bragged heavily on Delroy and Willie and they didnt turn out so hot.
I just dont see why he is so scared to draft a Tackle. Yes, it is not sexy and glamourous, but it is holding us hostage at the moment, with or without Flozell Adams.
I really dont know how the Braintrust can justify picking a Linebacker over a OT, unless Parcells thinks this draft is OT deep.
Nobody should be comfortable with Petitti and Tucker coming back. Tucker has had all the opportunity in the world.
I have defended Petitti to the death on this board but I am really starting to move over into Rack's camp.
I mean...my GOSH...a false start on a QB sneak on 3rd and inches....I still cant believe he did that Sunday.
Mike you may not want to take Parcell's word on o-lineman but my friend that's who's calling the shots.
I think it could be a very debatable argument on who would perform better for this team in 2006... a rookie draft pick taken in round 1 or Petitti entering his second year, with a offseason dedicated to getting better? I've seen a lot of 1st round OT's fail in this league... We've got one about 70 miles north of me in Buffalo, NY. At this point, Rob Petitti is a better player than Mike Williams. And there are many more like Williams out there.
If Rob Petitti cut his sacks allowed and penalties in half would that make him a decent RT? I think it would and I think that's a very reasonable expectation going into next season.
And that's why you won't see a OT drafted in the first round.
