I believe in Kyles ability to scheme the Oline. This isn't Singletary or even Harbaugh's offense. It's not based on pure physical domination. We don't need hogs, we need athletes. Trust me, we don't need to spend all that money on Trent.
There isn't a top-tier LT in the draft that will be available at 12. Nobody in the draft can replace Trent Williams. But it's okay, right, guys? We still have Mike Mcglinchey. Let's just let Trent Williams leave and we can start McGlinchey and Skule.
No top tier OT in the draft? What kind of statement is that? There is talent everywhere in the first and second. It just has to be scouted. Staley was a late first converted TE. How did that workout?
Also, the line is a unit. It doesn't matter if we put a 20 foot steel wall on the left side of the QB if he can be sacked from the middle or the right. No matter how good you LT is, QBs only have so much time to throw. Paying a huge priemum for a guy that is only part of a great whole is stupid.
We don't need a HOF tackle, just a starting caliber one. I would rather use Trents money to sure up the over all quality of the line.
Btw, McGlitch will be fine. He was good for a couple years and took a step back. He'll adjust. I would extend him while his value is low.
Buy low, sell high. Just like the stock market. Never over pay in free agency. It usually doesn't work.
Also, no need for the face palming and eye rolling. Get over yourself. My opinion is not ludicrous, even if you disagree.
