Not complaining, just assessing
Strictly opinion but I see Kinlaw as a D move, due to cost, performance, attitude, injury history all on an unforced move when we had the $ to keep a well respected captain at likely similar future performance TBD.
I see Tunsil as a B move, an obvious upgrade and directly protects our franchise QB, far more important piece. We traded a lot for him, hence the B. And I think he may get penalized a good amount. Really a critical move, similar to CB with Lattimore but moreso, since there is only 1 blindside tackle. It also creates depth at LT AND potentially fills another starting role at RT or guard. This move is the move of the offseason so far. This is not just a receiver or a DT. It is arguable that the LT may be the 2nd most important position on the field. I am quite pleased it was addressed firmly
Going into last season, I was saying the sky was falling due to our weak oline talent and the weaker new flop giants oline coach that couldnt get production out of first rounders. We'll, they did pretty well. Of course it helped that we had a quick throw, quick scramble, elite vision superstar QB. Oline is essential in our division. This is a rock solid piece that impacts the whole oline, well done Peters!
