Lichtensteiger is too small to at LG, he's too small at C too

What about JD Walton the ex-Broncos C we picked towards the end of the season.

I know nothing about this guy other than he's large. Wait and see mode for me, I'll be rooting for him to be awesome though.

Washington Redskins free-agent analysis: Shawn Lauvao - ESPN

Quick analysis: He started 44 games in four seasons with Cleveland, mostly at right guard but he has played on the left side, after being drafted in the third round of the 2010 draft. He did play a variety of positions, including left guard, in college. Lauvao was not popular among Browns fans because he remains unproven, but the coaches did want him back, according to a Browns source. He's viewed as a good fit in an outside zone because of his ability to move. At 315 pounds, he has good size. But current right guard starter, Chris Chester, is only six pounds lighter.

What does "remains unproven" mean? He was in the NFC north, so went against good defenses. Did he win the battles or not? I just don't understand that.

Don't know how many respondents, fans aren't always right, but that's a large disparity.

Is there a loser's tax if a player is coming from a loser team? Just curious.

Fans hating their own players... shocking

Let's wait and see what the guaranteed $$ actually is.

Yeah, I get that. I also know that for an offensive line you just don't know until you see the group as it forms.

After McRibust, I'm not so sure about that.

I don't know. According to Keim the Redskins brought him here because he's seen as a good zone blocker.

He can probably pass protect well.....and run block....as long as he can block he should pan out fine.....

Yeah because Cleveland makes great personnel decisions. Like how just today they let TJ Ward walk and signed Donte Witner (an inferior talent) for more money. Not concerned.

everyone knew that was a terrible pick at the time. if you take a 6-7th round talent in the 3rd round, that's on you (shanny).
