This is like if we kept Taco Charlton AND expected him to blossom by playing him.

What kinda garbage does the Giants have on their OL that Maxi actually had a decent game against them?

We have little other options right now.

Exactly right!

If all these folks are such great football team architects, just tell me where you could sign a legit DT today.

Watching the Steelers game and they had end zone banners for multiple generations of Rooneys.

Gave me shivers thinking 50 years from now that people will see banners of Jerruh, Stephen and maybe Baulding.

What a flaming bust

I had high hopes for this pick, a position our team (including our scouts) seems to know nothing about.

And Parsons.

Wut

Parsons was basically on the table screaming for us to draft Maxi.

Which is why GMs shouldn't feel pressure to draft/sign players simply because the star player wants them.

But when your GM is too busy in his yacht to scout, this input is considered a welcomed timesaver

So it was a shitty/lazy/forced/misguided pick (when it happened)? Or maybe Parsons was wanting someone who would help occupy O-linemen (to enable him to be more effective) and happy we took one who he (and others) thought would fit the bill?

I am shocked -- shocked I tell you! -- that he wasn't completely fixed by Zimmer after that dastardly Dan Quinn put a gun to his head and forced him to lose weight last year.

We'd be better keeping Bohanna or Ridgeway... and that's saying a lot

Ill never forget watching his “highlight” reel after they drafted him, and being completely underwhelmed by the tape. The supposed strong, space eating DT looked so average I couldnt help but think we were screwed from the start

As good as they seem to be at evaluating OL, they seem equally bad at DL.

They are not even great at OL as they have whiffed repeatedly with guys like Ball and Walezco in recent years. But the DL is ridiculously bad from Taco to this clown. And even before, the best we could muster were spares. We suck at it and it would scare me if they tried again honestly.

I'll give them a pass on 4th and 5th rounders.

Rounds 1-3 have been great for OL lately, and super fucking awful for DL. Unless you consider tiny 11 a DL.
