Everybody that wants to draft a LT in this draft needs to understand that you're basically going to be drafting...Kingsley Sumaitia. You want to give up multiple picks to do that? And said player will either not play in year one or not play well in year one. Period. Any other result is EXTREMELY unlikely.
So all of you guys that think Kingsley is 'trash' and a 'wasted pick' and that we just need to get the 'right guy' should forget about that. We're not getting into the top 15, and if we did that in THIS draft, we're probably STILL not getting a ready to go starting LT. So we'll have a THIRD project OT. I don't know about YOU, but I think trying to develop THREE is maybe not the best plan.
And for the opportunity to draft ANOTHER project OT, we will give up the opportunity to draft immediate upgrade level talents at DT, DE, CB, or RB. That's where the talent in this draft can fall to us.
SO, I don't think it's smart to give up on Kingsley, and I don't think he's a guard long-term. But I don't think you can just hand it to him and hope for the best this year either.
Get a stop-gap or pay Jackson in which case, you groom Kingsley for RT in '26 when you can cut Taylor. Morris looks like a G to me, always has. He'd probably be a really good one.
but that's all just my opinion.
