David Sharpe - F
I'd give it a G or H if I could. We traded for him last year, as we had serious depth problems at T. Calling Sharpe a T is the height of optimism. Not sure he would have good foot speed or agility even in moon gravity. He moves like a G, but doesn't have strength of one. Yeah, he's a #4 T. You don't expect a world-beater, but if he ever had to man the edge for a long period of time you'd need 6 QBS on the roster. While I don't expect the FO to sign another FA in such a deep draft class for Ts, they had better draft a T with one of first 4 picks, Sharpe is so bad that even at league minimum (deal details not released by said 1 year deal) this is still an F signing.
To me, this signing means one of 2 things: Christian gone or Charles health not progressing well. Let's hope the first.
So our Ts as of now are Lucas LT Moses RT, with Charles and Sharpe for depth. If we drafted one of studs at #19, or a solid LT in 2nd round, this position looks WORLDs better. It bears repeating that Lucas and Moses older and will need to be resigned soon. Do we have the cap money for that if we extend Scherff and Allen (or by next year Payne), after all the contracts we've signed, many doubtless with small numbers this year that balloon next 2 years? Bringing in a young LT and grooming him a year sure does sound smart, versus spending $10M+. Ideally by 2022 you'd start Charles and whoever we draft at both Ts.
Was Sharpe really that bad? I think it's perfectly reasonable re-sign.
I'd be absolutely shocked if we didn't draft a T in the 1st 3 rounds. And I think there are a lot of solid options in those rounds. If we're franchising a G for 18 million, I'm sure that Rivera is well aware of how important T's are. If Charles is ready to roll and we draft a T, I'm more than satisfied with the O-line for next year.
