    FWIW Roos never graded negative by PFF in any season

    well worth his 2nd round pick in 2005

    He was considered a top LT in the draft. Character concerns dropped him back.

    What does "top" even mean?

    I was responding to the idea JCBRAVE presented that drafting a "top LT" at pick 11 is somehow always a great thing. It isn't. "Top LT" is an extremely variable concept.

    Some years, the 3rd LT drafted is a future Pro Bowler. Some years, he's a total scrub. Some years, there are 20 "top" players at other positions who should be drafted before any LTs are drafted. It's all relative.

    Was worth the pick. Too bad the team didn't do much during his tenure.

    And congrats to him to retire and be able to enjoy decent health. I suspect knew another few seasons, especially competing for a starting position would have lasting impact on his post career health.

    Makes the Lewan pick that much better.

    Sucks to see him have to go out after getting hurt early last year, but he did a lot his years here in Tennessee.

    It's called coaching. Some teams get more out of their players and some teams get less:(

    I will never like that pick until we have a franchise QB and Lewan establishes himself as an elite LT.

    Bridgewater was there and was who I wanted... Idk why we passed on him, but we would have no one at LT or RT right now, so I get it.
