    Again, 2nd year player, first full season starting at LT in the NFL. That's pretty damn good.

    Sorry people aren't completely on board giving up 3 picks for a RT in the top 10 which should be used on skill positions.

    Especially in a draft deep with OL/DL but lacking in skill players.

    How so? We gave up #76 from the Rams and a second next season after picking twice in the first. We pick up the first pick of the sixth round.

    If they love Conklin, it's a decent trade, IMO. I don't think he's there at #15.

    Let me just say that I would of been ok with the Conklin pick at 15 even at that taking a RT at 15 is a stretch but I would of accepted it and said ok not bad we got a ton of picks. It just really makes me question when we gave up a 2nd and 3rd rounder to take a friggin RT. Its not like we are in a division with Denver where they have 2 elite pass rushers….Just terrible trade thats my complaint.

    You're not really giving up three picks. You're giving up two.

    Swapping 15 and 8... Take that out of the equation.

    We gave up #76 and a 2nd from next year (40-50ish). That's not bad at all. Moving from 15 to 8 is significant... To only give up that much isn't bad. And we got a 6th in return to balance it out a bit more.

    Stop the whining. I'd be a lot more pissed at the Cowboys for taking Elliot and allowing the Jags to take Ramsey. And that's where I'm at right now.

    Why be pissed about getting the most physical lineman in the draft at #8? He gave up one sack and 3 QB hits all of last season. And that's with run blocking being his strength.

    I was surprised it wasn't Tunsil, but I get it now.

    We want to build a mean team. Lewan and Conklin are capable of being what Roos and Stewart were for us.

    And again, we can easily get back into the 2nd next year. Not at all worried about it. We have two 1st round picks next year and two 3rds.

    You have to combine the trade with the Rams and Browns. We still come out winning no matter what way you look at it.

    I just heard him on a radio interview on Sirius NFL. He said someone hacked his account today and put it up. That excuse is about as lame as it get, why can't people just admit when they do something stupid? I do multiple times a day. Plus who cares if he smokes weed anyway?

    I also think it's hilarious to see the "only RT" argument.

    RT has become almost as important as LT in today's NFL. And keep in mind, Conklin is versatile enough to play anywhere on the line.

    What's bad is taking a guard at 10 like we did with Warmack.

    I think a lot of people are forgetting that the extra 1st pick next year is coming from the Rams. That pick is potentially a top 10 pick because the Rams will suck.
