If the team thinks Surtain is going to be as special as Pitts, then I’d be all for them taking the corner.
If they think Pitts is way more special and take him, then I’d be down with them going TE at 10.
It is all about adding special talent in the top 10 IMO.
Whoever is available and graded higher out of Sewell and Slater makes the most sense. Unless nobody paid attention to Bakhtiari's loss and Fisher's loss and the impact it had in the trenches that is.
If I just gave $125 million dollars worth of guarantees and the 2 main guys protecting him on the edges are coming off major surgeries as the LT, who has missed games and had recurring physical probs for several years and the other RT to whom a bone on bone diagnosis was made after having a serious car wreck but yet to be officially verified...?
So yeah, to me personally, I'm skipping BOTH the TE AND the CB and get back to protecting the $160 million dollar mistake, ahem, I mean investment and regulate the TOP and keep this personnel lacking defense off the field.
One of the 2 tackles won't make it through a full season most likely. Unless your risk/reward is all in hoping that they both do. Philbin is a decent OL coach but Steele, Knight and the new guy Neske(sp?) are spot starters at best, not long term solutions for a season. Guess I thought this was pretty plain to see last year. Still a game won in the trenches.
Bout all I got.
Opinion is all.
