One thing I don't want in the draft

Penning wasn't even a penciled in starter...he was a projected as a project that even if healthy wasn't going to start week 1...maybe without the injury he starts before November but that isn't the type of offensive lineman that you bank additional draft capitol to make sure you get. There were at least 2 other tackles drafted after him that contributed just as much.

My take on linemen, is that its almost all about coaching...they're all big/strong guys, coaching makes all but the elite few interchangeable.


We won the compensation part of the Graham trade, but we totally blew the pick.
Injuries , injuries injuries. you can't account for them when drafting players. Most had Penning penciled in as a starter mid-season, and he would have been if not for injuries.
