As far as Tripp's assessment of "hopelessly chasing" an O-lineman... well, taking the best tackle available in the 3rd or 5th wouldn't be "hopelessly chasing." Unless we didn't have anyone graded within 20 or 30 slots of where our pick(s) where slotted, I think we goofed.

And taking that OLB from Nebraska was flat stupid IMO. The kid has only played LB in 9 games EVER! He came to school as a RB and played 3 years at that position until injuries forced a position change. Then he got suspended for ticket scalping. Plus he plays weakside. Stupid.

And now a WR??

I hope this gets Vinnis fired. I'm so f'ing pissed. No o-line men. NONE! WTF! is this BS.

But, from their perspective, this offseason they picked up Dockery and Mike Williams (who may or may not make the roster) and it's another year of experience for Heyer and Rinehart.

Perhaps, I'm not so optimistic. I'm stellar that we didn't blow everything for Sanchez. But I have a bad feeling that in or around week 8-9 I'm going to be proven right and I can't stand it. Who get's off on seeing our elderly offensive line get trampled?

You're the only one that I can think of, sir.

You're right, I should have made my stick "The AARP Express". Don't call me Sir, I work for a living.

Plus there's always the UDFA crop to sort through.

True, for those looking at Rashad Jennings, he got picked, but Sheets didn't, who knows.
