I get that it’s a steep price but the dude is a 2 time all pro at a premium position who’s only 25 years old. And he’s under contract through 2030, i believe.

You HAVE to make that trade, especially considering only 10 percent of first round picks ever make all pro.

To me it’s a no brainer.

If it was Bill Polian whose history of picking in the second and third rounds rings with names like Pathon and Peterson, Washington and Bashir, Triplett and Doss, Hartsock and Hayden, Ugoh and Pollak, Moala, Angerer, and Ijalana, I’d worry more. But, when Chris Ballard shakes that same tree, guys like Jonathan Taylor, Alec Pierce, Darius Leonard, Braden Smith, Josh Downs, Bernard Raimann, Nick Cross, Bobby Okereke, and Michael Pittman drop off, so I don’t worry so much.

Raimen makes me sure that the crowd will be about the shoe.
