i think worst case he can be like brunskill was for us, a solid depth player who had versatility.
id like to see him developed as a C over the next season or two (depending on how brindel plays), then we draft a tackle next year in the first round or so to groom for a year or two to replace Trent eventually (or potentially replace mckivitz if he is struggling).
then we can use guys like Brendel & Mckivitz as quality depth and have a much more sound top 8 o lineman.
Personally, any time a guy like Brendel or a guy like Manning can make the 53 - that to me is the equivalent of (at worst) a fourth round pick. Rounds 1 to 4 are starter quality picks, while rounds 5 to 7 are backup quality picks in general. Now Brendel made the 2nd team all pro, to me Brendel is verging on a first round value pick - in essence, and saved us (or benefitted us) a first/second round value that we could have used somewhere else like - maybe a Christian McCaffrey Trade.
When did he do that and how did I miss it?
Lol he didn't and you didn't. Think he means pro bowl alternate
