But if he isn't as well recovered as they are saying then we have wasted another first round pick....and what concerns me is the possibility of the team wanting to see a long term replacement at LT that they may not have as discerning an eye.

I look at it like this. If you’re the Pittsburgh Steelers who are a qb away from being really good but are always too good to fail… they’ve tried to get a qb year after year after year with their shitty draft spot. If Caleb Williams or Jayden or Drake maye fell into their lap last year but he just had Andrew luck shoulder surgery would you pass him up? The alternative is to play it safe and roll with everyone else’s table scraps like Russell Wilson. So I don’t think we can compare it to draft day whiffs like CEH or even FAU. This is taking a chance at a position we can’t otherwise get
So considering all our struggles finding LT which seems to be as difficult to find as a qb, why not take the risk? Is the bust potential any worse than any other OT we could have taken? Do we really think that changes this year if we took someone else? I don’t feel like the bust potential is all that different but the upside is way higher.
