I don’t think it changes anything for Scherff. I think he’ll be gone after this season anyway. And I don’t see him getting traded before that, I think he subscribes to the Kirk Cousins theory of make your way to free agency to find out your worth, I don’t think he’ll agree to a long term deal with an acquiring team because he wants to hit the open market.

As for G, this is a depth play that indicates that they’re not comfortable with the recovery of Charles, or not comfortable with Schweitzer as a starter, or envision Charles competing at T, or a combination of these.

I still think they will look to draft a LT in this draft. Either way, good depth pickup. Can’t have too many capable offensive linemen.

I think Scherff wants to choose his team, and go to a contender. I think he might stay here if he is made the highest paid G with obscene guarantees, otherwise he is gone. No one is trading a high pick and having to pay him a huge deal. Simply not happening barring major injuries to contender. Any smart team could simply draft a G and pay him $17M a year less, rather than trading picks to us to do the same thing.
