We all argue about stuff here, but one thing that seems to be universally accepted throughout the world of football is that the game is won and lost in the trenches.
There have been some players here getting some criticism I don't think they deserve.
Namely, Lynch and Poz.
Both were no-brainer picks. Most of the people here would have done the same thing we did back in 07 given that Willis and Peterson were off the board.
RB and MLB are probably the 2nd and 3rd most effected positions when it comes to a lousy line, obviously the first being QB. Fred has found some success because he's efficient, slippery, and patient. We all know we need 2 backs, we all know Lynch has had a rough year.
But we also know he's 24 years old, has had no major injuries, and would be the best RB available in free agency if we let him go. However, we also know there is NO WAY we would get fair compensation for a 24 year old first round pick running back.
Lynch stays, and we need to give him a line. Fred is almost 30 years old. I personally feel we need to a back in the mold of Darren Sproles. That'd create a 3 way punch that would be unstoppable.
We know we need d tackles. We know we need D line. Let's see what happens if Stroud was our 2nd best D tackle. Poz wouldn't ever get blocked, he'd dominate.
Let's give these guys a look after we take care of our 100 weaknesses before we throw the guys with serious potential under the bus.
Lee Evans is more expendable, more tradeable, and less valuable then both of those players. And he's over paid.
