TEACHER VS. STUDENT: Saints Right Tackle Battle Could Be Epic

Ugh I still hate the fact that we used the #13 pick on potentially a back-up right tackle.

He won't be a back-up for long. He'll likely be a 10 year starter with multiple pro-bowls.

But that's the thing... Right tackles are a dime a dozen. Just find a failed left tackle and he'll be an ok right tackle. That's why I'm bummed we made a future investment in a right tackle with the #13 pick.

Im sure Mickey and Sean felt he was probably the best player available at that pick for our team. If he turns out to be a great tackle, which I think he will, then he will be every bit worth the 1st round pick...even if he does sit for a year. Im glad we have a GM who thinks of the future of our team and doesn't just have a"right now" mentality.
