What are people's opinion on him?

-He's obviously a fit for the scheme and can play at a high level, but does he still have the desire?

-I believe he's 30 now, so that comes into play too.

-What are the teams feelings on Tom straight outta Compton and Polumbus? Polumbus was descent in run support, but god awful in pass-pro, is that something that can be improved upon this offseason, or is he just too slow?

Personally I think I would steer clear, and just draft another T in the mid rounds to push the current RTs.

I want him as our RT, but that doesnt mean that we can afford him. To me, it depends on the cuts that can be made without hurting the team. Sure we can cut DHall and have the space to sign him, but does that leave us enough to get the draft class signed as well as other depth. If we have to cut to deep to make it happen, then dont pursue him.

As for Compton and Polumbus. We have to move on from Polumbus. He is bad in pass protection, and that forces RG3 to take off running (both if his injuries happened on a scramble). Polumbus will never be good at pass protection. He is very tall, and unfortunately plays very tall. DE's can almost at will get underneath his pads and push him back. That forces him to plant hard and brace for those hits, which makes the speed rush effective. Unless Kyle plans on helping him out (which I doubt) then we need a better pass blocking RT. Can Compton fit that bill? I have heard good things about him, but would still like another legitimate RT to push him for the job.
