Penn hasn't missed a game in several years, and his contract about average for a left tackle...... I cannot get excited about the 30th ranked tackle

I hope I am wrong about Penn

In post after post, you quote these rankings, wherever you're getting them from, as if they're the gospel. Wise up! They don't mean jack. On one site he may be ranked 30th, on another he may be ranked 16th. Even if the rankings you reference did mean something, he was ranked based on his play at Left Tackle. We're trying to sign him to play another position - Right Tackle.

Personally, I don't give a tinker's dam where he is ranked in a vacuum by any football geek. All I care about is that he has been evaluated by my team's personnel executives and coaches and they have concluded that he is a good fit for our team at RT.

This. Preach on brother man. I would feel much more comfortable about the Oline. If we could get a good guard in the draft with the OT positions shored up, I'd feel even better!!
