    I like Dallas to back up Martin if things go bad.

    I havent watched him play, but Ive heard sometimes he looks like a STELLAR LT but doesnt show consistency in technique.

    I don't agree with that Alex, if anything he shows consistent technique, and sound fundamentals, genetically he's at an advantage with the way he's built, he's got a perfect backside for the position which allows him to sit into his stance with excellent balance and almost a built in anchor, for which he can develop with time..

    Why is he a third round pick?... A bit lack of size, strength, and a bit lack of explosiveness..technique and fundamentals look solid though, the gym will help this kids game immensely if he gets it..Lot of folks had him going in the 2nd, some late first..

    We just need solid lineman that can get the freakin job done, I'm tired of projects and missevaluations on the oline, finally, I think they got this one right..

    Let's hope he is a steal.

    The injury knocked him down as well, unless a player is really special (ala Jordan) teams usually are not fans of drafting players who are not there participating fully in the entire preseason process.

    Who knows though, don't think they will move Richie I out of Miami, imo you'd just trade questions on the Right Side for Questions on the Left Side of the OL
