He’s going to help us no doubt. I can’t hate on the player

I despise the laziness to sit there and reach
Yeah. I can get wanting the player. But if so, do everything you can to trade back a bit, then pull the trigger. Even if you have to take a little loss in the trade.

Lloyd is damn good on his own, though. He won't be Parsons but he's not just a capable guy, either.
I very much like Lloyd but Johnson would have made more sense. We got wiped out and forced Oline. One thing I am thankful for is that it wasn't Raimann. But if defense is best available we should have just gone defense and said fuck it. But instead we were hell bent on Oline in the first round and at worst WR. We got cleaned out at both positions.

This is why you sign fucking free agents before the draft.

And I am going to say this right now.

This was a left guard pick. Not a tackle. I know people will pretend he is that for a while, he's not.

So the Patriots pick gives us a little insight into Dallas’ choice maybe.

On the surface it’s an even bigger reach than ours.

I think the early OL-WR runs are forcing this

Whoa. There's that Patriots reach we all know and love. I like Strange. A lot. But in the 3rd.

It looked like they got offers but didn't pull the trigger. There were still quite a few teams wanting OL in the late first. Guess they got nervous.

That's fine with me, if he plays well there.

I don't hate the player at all. He was probably my number 5 OT in this draft. And unlike a softy like Raimann he has the power and nasty to play LG. Maybe it will help him have less oenalties playing in the phonebooth. I just hate we took him at 24.

I figured Strange was an early 3rd at most

It just means we got swept up in a tsunami of a draft because...well, we were fucking stupid in FA again.

After seeing that Patriots pick, maybe they were right.

Yeah I think he is the LG. They may think they can coach him up to be a LT down the road but the guy is a road grader. They want him to step in and start at LG.

Why do you say that? Somebody on the Ticket (Brugler?) said he had position flex and eventually would be a tackle.
