Another versatile backup Olineman ? I know those are valuable, but does Ron know that adding up decent back ups doesn't equal to a quality starter ?
At this point I really dont think he does. Ready for a new owner to clean house

Mmmh... Said by some to be the second best safety in the draft... And he possessed Ron's beloved position flex... But with our obvious needs at OL and LB, I'll admit I have a hard time being enthusiastic about this one... Kinda feel like Ron and Jack still haven't realized what a disaster this LB squad is... and now wondering if they truly understand to what extent this Oline unit needs to improve...
OL and LB are pretty glaring needs I’d say.

I think there were good OL on the board and it was a bit of a reach. Not hating on the player though.
we did get a C in round 3, but seems like that was probably a reach (as far as value). At least he should be better than the 3 backups from last year i guess.

I'm getting a serious case of deja vu. Didn't we say this last year

Roullier and Fuller are both strong cut possibilities now. That will clear up quite a bit of money to sign post-draft cuts from other teams.
Gates, Stromberg, and Larsen can all play center.
Forbes, Martin, and Juste can all start at CB. Fuller is expensive to keep if you have other capable starters.

Dantzler is almost certainly done, will net $2m with no dead cap

I think the Ricky Stromberg was picked within his range, but I think we coulda moved back in the 2nd and still gotten the DB Martin.
I didn’t like that pick, like I didn’t like the Mathis pick there last year. Can’t piss away top 50 player picks

At least Martin is a possible starter, Mathis is at best a rotational DT to give the starters a rest

Don't even think about cutting my man Fuller! He should have been playing slot corner all of this time and he was outstanding at that position from Day One.
I suppose Chase Roullier will have to go now but it won't be an upgrade. Injury caught up with him. He was such a fine anchor for us for years and he didn't get the recognition he deserved.

No he doesn't! He just refuses to move up when a run starts on a position where we need help. Mayhew is no genius either. What did he ever do in Detroit to impress as a drafter?
What we needed in this draft were two or three studs who play the positions of our greatest need. Too late now. If we only drafted three players, the right three players, this year it would have been enough. We do not need more mediocre and borderline players.
Plus, we bring in EB and we don't give him jack in the draft. What a waste!
In the final year of his contract with new ownership on the way RR is still talking about building a team! I can hardly believe it. First of all, the team should already be built by now if he was ever going to do it. Time's up! Secondly, Rivera and Mayhew might as well start packing their bags because no new owner is going to put up with their lack of situational awareness, boldness, and competence in the GM space.
Dead men walking.
