Left Tackle what is the answer.

triman · 03-20-2013, 03:29 PM

Two players in the draft intrigue me Terron Armstead. A bigl very athletic player with unlimited upside. Barrett Jones versatile OLplug him in and play him anywhere on the line and his man is blocked. I would trade up for either of these guys Give next years Picks and not look back. FA is just not looking good as an option all the guys left have??? The value would not justify the cost. The. more I think about this the more I worry.

Bryant McKinnie is a free agent if I'm not mistaken. He could work for a year or two.

We need a left tackle.

The way Brees plays stepping up in the pocket we do not need a GREAT LT, just a good one. The guards are more important in our offense when it comes to QB protection and we got that covered for a while. We will find someone serviceable for the right price.

Yes he is but I could see him resigning with the Pats on a short term (one year) deal similar to his teammate Talib.

I like Lane Johnson in the draft I think he is a versatile player that we can count on for a good while...Hopefully he'll be around at 15

triman · 03-20-2013, 04:21 PM

L.Johnson will not make it to #15, we would have to go up into the top 10 PicksIMHO Ithink he would be the pick if he fell to #15

lee909 · 03-20-2013, 04:24 PM

Johnson,Fisher and Joeckel don't make it out the top 10.
Don't sign Asomaugh,give the money to Volmer in a long term deal and then go all out for Jake Mathews next year.
Or Sign McKinney to a short term deal and sign Long/Armstead in the third this year and go all out and sign Jake Mathews next year.

Either way

SIGN JAKE MATHEWS NEXT YEAR
