I'm not criticizing your post, That Guy, I'm just pissed that Bruce didn't fix this position in FA. There were several good, young options. He had enough cap space and flexibility to get it done. He should have stepped up and got it done. Instead, he overpaid for a mediocre OG who isn't going to help fix our OL problem.

What were your FA priorities? Mine were FS and RT. Do we have a FS or a RT? No! Priorities are what you do first. If your roof is leaking you don't blow your repair budget by installing new tile in the kitchen.

unless they safeties were getting too much compared to what they'd provide the team. I can't speak to their thoughts on the FAs they didn't sign. but if we have one glaring need right now and 1 high pick to fix it with, might as well roll the dice. ideally PT shows he can play and we're set there for 10 years, but, you know, real life.

I'm sure they had some targets at FS or RT, but didn't want to overpay.

But then that brings up a question. Why did they overpay for the likes of Shawn Lavuao? Wouldn't it have been better to overpay for Alterraun Verner, Jon Asamoah, or TJ Ward? Each of those guys signed contracts in the neighborhood of Lavuao's; about 5 million a year. I'm befuddled.

Add to your list Geoff Schwartz and Mike Mitchell.

I have to agree with this a bit. It will be very telling how Shawn Lavuao, Alterraun Verner, Jon Asamoah and TJ Ward perform and produce next season. The dollar amount in Shawn Lavuao's contract is a head scratcher at this point.

Now there's a guy I'm a huge fan of. If he's there in the 5th, no question who the pick should be. He plays with a ferocious attitude.

Yeah Mitchell went to the steelers for $25mil/5yr (said to be liability in coverage). Given pitt kinda runs our d and seems to pick players well, I wish I hindsight we got him. Same with Eugene Monroe OT ravens. Kinda pricey at $37.5 mil/5yr but if he could be longterm bookend opposite Williams... Prolly would've gotten into bidding war with Balt, right? But man if we could have the best tackle duo siince Samuels/Jansen....
