They have taken a chance on some late round Offensive linemen they just didn't pan out. As you can all see the odds of a late round pick making a major impact or even making the team is the exception not the norm. Please stop complaining about a 4th/5th round pick. Pete Kendall is a good Guard who will help this team for the next few years. Manual White will never help this team.

Outstanding work on making your point here.
I couldn't agree more.
I certainly trust a 2 year proven guy for a 5th rounder than our track record with draftees. The thing that pisses us all off is ....look at the drafts....there are major holes in the 1st 4 rounds every year...instead of us getting 4 quality players...we only get 1 or 2 per year...and that is everyones gripe....including mine.....

But...I love the pickup...a little late yes, but they gave their folks the best shot before bailing on them and that shows character....
This pickup is 3rd best of the year after Fletcher and Landry.
