Yes. Jake Long was the right call. There you go.

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

This is telling, because most scouts say Carey is better suited to the right side. In other words, he was playing out of position yet teams weren't targeting him.

teams have always been targetting weakest links, so we should draft a LG #1?

another article written to attract attention. a great LT is priceless and always will be

if you can block an elite pass rusher with 1 guy on every play then you have a great advantage. its like having a shutdown corner

Totally disagree with that article, was rather unimpressed by it to be frank. Jake was a great call, the right one IMHO.

I love how articles like this state how we made the "wrong call" and then offer no input as to what the right one was. You would think if they were smart enough to know that we made a mistake, that they would know what the right answer was. Guess that would make too much sense.

Lol yep, articles have been rather un-impressive to say the least.
