He's got the size and the skills. And he's already had pro-bowl seasons in the pros, so why would he be a reach?
Do you really think the problems on the o-line of the last two years were Samuels rather than Helton's and Spurrier's?
Come on.
Sure, it'd be nice if he'd restucture, but pro-bowl caliber left tackles are expensive. On a Gibbs/Bugel team, you DO NOT skimp on your tackels. We've got excellent book-ends, and with Portis, we're gonna tear it up.
Prediction: Samuels will be back in the pro-bowl soon, with his teammate Jansen.
