Just a thought: It's really amazing how some people on here wanted the FO to draft an O-lineman, and when we do, the same people who wanted an O-lineman are already bashing the kid when he hasn't even stepped on the field, because "there were better G's available", "He's not as strong or fast as player X", or "he's not the O-lineman I wanted." Leribeus is an underrated, versatile, and an explosive interior lineman ATPOA; he can play LG,C, RG and adds much needed depth, and versatility on the interior O-line. Some scouts gave him a 3rd-4th round grade, others a later round grade, but we also recieved an EXTRA 7th round pick by trading back two spots, and drafted a solid OL. How can the Leribeus pick be a "bad pick" when we needed to fortify the interior of our O-line, and he hasn't yet stepped on the field?
