I like his potential, just not reaching for him over BPA. 6th overall is a big deal and I don't feel he'll ever live up to it. Somewhere in the teens is where he belonged, IMO. Question my logic and I hope I'm just being an idiot, but when I watch games on him and listen to interviews, I think he's soft. For 6th overall he lacks the nasty I want in a run blocker. Won't be confident in him vs the premier rushers. I don't believe an OT should be taken this high unless they're damn near a transcending talent. He'll start for us and having reliability/durability at the position will be a major positive but I'm skeptical how better he immediately makes the OL. Man, I hope I'm completely wrong on him and look back at this laughing.
Apparently we were close to trading up with Dallas for a only 4th but they wouldnt pull the trigger, unfortunately... I would've offered a 3rd for Ramsey.
Recent title games/SB trends show teams who have worked around not having a elite OL. Not trying to significantly devalue the importance of a good LT(our guys must put extreme emphasis on it) just a very high investment and I think we Buckner,Hargreaves or trading down would've been the wiser.
