The current group (Dockery aside), was pretty miserable down the stretch. I know we had injuries, and those guys will be healthy, but they're still 30+ coming off surgeries. Don't get me wrong, I hope they're correct. But the organization openly said RT is a need.

As far as Tripp's assessment of "hopelessly chasing" an O-lineman... well, taking the best tackle available in the 3rd or 5th wouldn't be "hopelessly chasing." Unless we didn't have anyone graded within 20 or 30 slots of where our pick(s) where slotted, I think we goofed.

And taking that OLB from Nebraska was flat stupid IMO. The kid has only played LB in 9 games EVER! He came to school as a RB and played 3 years at that position until injuries forced a position change. Then he got suspended for ticket scalping. Plus he plays weakside. Stupid.

And now a WR??
