Cowboys discussed trade with Browns.

[ravidubey]

Two different circumstances. The Redskins really needed tackle help and hoped he would be it. He showed he couldn't even beat out scrubs at the position so they moved him to guard to try and get something from such a high pick, and from what I have read he has only been mediocre at guard. Had we been as thin at tackle as the Redskins, Collins would have been an instant starter.

Each was an elite tackle prospect before the draft.

Each became a guard soon after OTAs.

Dallas is deeper at OG than at OT, actually (Bernadeau>>>Weems), and Leary is younger and just as good as Free. In fact, the first place Dallas tried Collins was RT when Free was banged up.

Collins being a guard has nothing to do with Dallas' depth. It is strictly based on the coaches' opinion of where he's better suited to play. Similarly I think Washington's coaches felt Scherff was a guard, not a tackle, and it didn't have as much to do with Morgan Moses being ahead of him at RT.

Bottom line is that OL should be improving.

There's a long list of highly drafted OL bust.

Not saying he will be but it's far from unheard of signed Jason Smith, Jake Long etc.

4 time pro bowler Jake Long?

4 time pro bowler Jake Long?

Jake Long who was the 1st overall pick and was not even resigned by his drafting team and who is now out of the league.

Maybe bust is strong but he was never considered elite and was terrible his last couple of years.

I think bust is overstating it for a guy who made the pro bowl nearly every year of his rookie deal.

It would be like calling Roy Williams a bust. Sure towards the end he was a bitch but the guy was pretty damn good early in his career.

True but he was never considered a great OT and a couple of those pro bowls were as alternate.

He never lived up to 1st overall pick status and he was not an even long term serviceable guy those last couple of years in Miami he was not even good and we know how pro bowls work.

Long was never as good as Williams was at his peak and Williams was not the 1st overall pick.

Long went down hill quickly.

Bullshit comeback.
