    They have a ton of money and are getting nervous. I bet they over pay him or at least try.

    No one said he's a starter just because of the movie...

    But I do believe the story helped his draft stock a lot. He went in the 1st round, and I didn't think he was a legitimate 1st round player... I was right.

    I wouldn't be mad with the move as long as we don't overpay, but he's only better than Stewart because Stewart is done, so that's a bad example. He will be a pretty average RT.

    You were in the vast minority then. Most "experts" believed he was 1st round material based on his play on the field alone. He man-handled people at Ole Miss and was without a doubt one of the best 0-linemen in the nation.

    Sucks it didn't translate into the NFL as well, but his draft had nothing to do with a book (the movie came out after the draft).

    You guys thinking he's going to get $3.5 million are crazy. Starting RT money is around $5-6 million a year.

    I know it's not a sexy pick but RT at #11 is looking more realistic. We have to prepare for Roos departure, any QB we have will have a rough time with young tackles if we wait any longer. Get someone to play RT then move to LT when Roos is about ready, then get a projected RT in the draft eventually to take over at RT.

    Well he is from Tennessee. Maybe he wants to be closer to his annoying foster mother.

    I don't think it's that much. Dave Stewart was the highest paid rt in the league and was only making 6.5. If I'm not mistaken

    I see your reasoning but if we don't need the guy to start immediately why take him in the 1st when quality OTs will be available in the second? Don't teams normally take OTs in the first round because they intend to start them right away? If we sign Oher I don't think we got OT in the first.
