A lot of folks were mystified by those picks ... and here we are.

My confidence meter in his ability is low.

Mine as well.

Is it me or does Payton have more tolerance with o lineman than other positions? Could it come from his QB days?

It's not like we have a whole stable of talented guards sitting in the wings. We had backups or players off the street in three of the other four line positions on Monday.

WOOF

I didn't think he was going to be this bad but I've never been a proponent of taking interior lineman early. Those big uglies are a plenty in the mid rounds.
