If a team gets him and gives up a #1, we can use our second round pick on one of the best guards in the draft and use the #1 for another position.
Rookie blue Chip Guard + 1st round pick > Dockery
but then again, dockery is overrated. He is too inconsistent and doesnt have the temperment to be a gibbs type guard. So i would be shocked if a team signed him.

he's alright, he's just too slow to be great at pulling and gibbs loves pulling guards.

I do agree to this statement, but its also good to have another lineman that knows the system and is somewhat comfotable with it. Keeping people is always better than teaching new people.

I agree, he's competent enough (for now at least), still if you can draft someone with upside, they'd be super cheap backup and have a chance to learn the system and people before being rushed into a starting role. thats why i dont think a FA move at LG is a smart idea.

he is still fairly young,and offensive lines seem to always get better,the more they stay together.i want him back.the tender gives dockery NO leverage at all

We would never get a #1 even if he leaves. We would negotiate with the team for some lesser compensation the way we are now with the 49ers for Lloyd. (which is idiotic on their part to let him go) Maybe we could trade Doc to SF and keep some of our picks.

why would we trade dock? consistency on the o-line is key. I hope to god he signs his tender, i would hate it if he left us. But if he does leave us, at least we get a first round pick. It would suck to have to replace him though. He hasn't missed a game in his 3 seasons with us. I know this is 4 days old too, but i didn't feel like starting a new thread about it.

Any word on Dock yet?
Anyone looking at him?
Honestly I would doubt anyone would give up their first rounder (to the Redskins) for him. We have got every FA we wanted so far. Crazy.
Anyway I think Dock will be back.

if you haven't heard anything, nothing's changed. he has until november to sign his tender, and we don't get back exclusive rights till july 23rd, so i doubt he's in a rush.
