It seems like a huge downgrade on paper but when I watched him last year he played well. He stepped in for Samuels and in my opinion played better. The QB had much better protection when he was playing.

Mabye this was because the blockign patterns were changed at the end, but still, he did his job when Samuels didnt.

What do you guys think.

Well I agree with you that he out played Samuel's, but I would have to see more of him before I relied on him to be my starting right tackle, but we might be able to get a guy like andrew's later in the draft to groom and step in for winey if he can't get the job done for a lot less money, if we believe we can keep him motivated and get him in the weight room.
