I'm very pleased with this deal. I don't have too many concerns about the upcoming season, but this was #1 on that list. I was worried about why the Skins didn't feel the need to acquire a guard through the draft or free agency. I know they thought Wade could make the switch, but entrusting a backup tackle with a starting guard spot never sat very well with me. I love this deal. Bringing a veteran who has the ability to be a starter on this team for a second day pick is something I would do any day of the week. (However, I would not do it with every second day pick)

This team needed somebody they could trust to plug in at guard and, even if he doesn't start, he is a welcome addition. I was also concerned about quality depth on the O Line and, at the very least, Kendall will provide just that.
