[quote=SmootSmack;528187]Barnes is only 26 years old. I think Stinchcomb is 30[/quote]

I then damn let's get barnes if he is really 26
Also I heard that we're trying to resign Kendall, which I think we shouldn't do since he was the oldest on our line and when there are a couple of guards RFA and FAs that we should go after before we go after Kendall, whose someone e should sign once injuries occur during the season

[quote=Nflnick11;528154]A few thoughts though:
Supposedly Andrews said he's doing well and rehab right now is a success, and he can play both guard and tackle... But he maybe saying that he's doing well just because he's going to be a free agent soon

I really haven't seen Carey play, is he the real deal or just a short term resolution, and what is he age wise??

About your third comment, we can always trade down and get someones 2nd rounder, I beleive that the pats giants and dolphins(ours sadly) have 2 2nd rounders ... Plus I was thinking we could get brandon williams of Texas tech who led the big 12 in sacks with 13 is someone we could get here, or maybe a phil loadholt of Oklahoma or Tyrone Green of auburn are other options here(OT and OG) or maybe Ramses Barden WR , of Cal poly who's 6'6 and has spectacular hands he's also from zorns alma matter... Gerald Mcrath OLB of southern miss is another option here ... Part of the reason why I think rhinehart didn't play/wasn't ready as a 3rd rounder is because he went to a small school like northern iowa and not a school that doesn't face NFL level talent like a auburn, tech, etc[/quote]

I think taking Andrews would be a bit of a risk given his injury (although his ability to play both guard and tackle would help the team). He would come very cheap, but I'd rather take someone like Carey. I haven't seen Carey play much, I liked the report that Scouts Inc had on him, to me he seems like a quality backup ready to jump to the start spot, and at 27 he's fairly young.

I think trading down would be a good idea. Getting some players for both lines that we can develop, while getting a quality starter like Andrews or Carey in free agency.

Well now we have slim choices because Carey just signed to a year deal to stay with the dolphins ... That basically leaves the draft and like 3 total free agents 2 RFAs... Slim pickins basically

Carey just signed 6 year multimillion dollar contract with Dolphins.
