They say when trying to change someone's mind who has been indoctrinated and has clearly bought into the idealogy, facts and logic rarely have much meaning to them. Well Thompson could go draft 5 all-pro players next year and Uffda would find a way to undermine it, Thompson will always be the devil to him. 😝

Ball 2: Lang: 9.5M per for 3 years for a G is fiscally irresponsible unless a HOFer; for a 30 YO G of Lang’s quality is outright stupid.
Ball 3: Tretter: out of 64 games was available for 28. Showed he was unable to start more than 7 straight games. Even more important as he accumulated those bumps and bruises in games 6 and 7 before going down his performance slipped. By week 4 there is no such thing as a healthy OLman; the question is whether their injuries are so severe they make the unavailable. JCT could never play up to Lang or Sitton’s level unless he was 100% healthy, which is impossible.
He’s good, but it’s ridiculously fiscally irresponsible to pay him starter money.
First Strike: drafting of Bulaga, Ted hits fastball down the middle and laces the 3-0 pitch into the seats. There is no doubt Bulaga can be a solid LT, he might even be better at LT than RT, he was better on left side at Iowa. But, assuming he isn't a LT, part of the art of drafting is knowing there is an alternate position for a player. And Sherrod was a great pick until his knee was shattered!
Change on the OL is simply a reality in today's game:
IN 2016 Ne had 3 new starters and 1 playing a different position on OL from 2015 and they won SB.
This year: GB 1 new starter, 2 if Bulaga can’t go.
Lions 4 new starters on OL, 1 due to injury.
Dallas: 2 new starters on OL
Seattle: 3 new starters on OL, one due to injury; another changing positions.
AZ: 2 new starters on OL; one changing positions.
Atlanta: 1 new starter on OL; they guy they signed to replace the retired Chester, retired; now a converted DL guy looks to be the starter. They had one opening and didnt' have a Taylor; nor could they sign Evans, who knows that team very well.
