I was VERY disappointed when Scot traded down from our 4th round pick (120 overall) in the last draft, with NT Andrew Billings on the board. In return, we got New Orleans' 5th round pick (selecting Matt Ioannidis) and their 2017 5th rounder. Billings went 122 overall to Cincy, but was injured and spent the season on IR. Most graded Billings as 2nd round talent, so it would not have been a reach for Scot to use our original 4th round pick to fill a GLARING need - a true run-stopping interior lineman with elite strength. Don't know what he saw in Ioannidis, who is just a guy. I hope he proves me wrong and develops into the anchor in the middle of the line that Scot envisioned.
