The worst case scenario in my opinion is he gives you competent LT play, if you get a better option, you just plug him into LG when Thuney leaves or RG if you decide not to hang onto Trey. |

But we can't just handwave that Andy hasn't ever drafted an OT that doesn't meet the arm length requirement. |

I'd rather have a better prospect with slightly shorter arms than a long armed unathletic dude.
But staylor brings up a good point here in that he may not hit the baseline they like in prospects. |

I don't disagree at all. Hopefully Andy/Veach are also willing to sacrifice some arm length for athleticism and big hands. Just hard to know whether that's the case until they draft somebody that fits the bill.

There are always outliers. Spags had a type of DE and then drafted BJ Thompson. Yeah, that was in the 5th round and not the 1st...but it still happened.

We drafted long arm DL and DB’s until 2022 when we drafted McDuffie and Karlaftis.
Worked out pretty good I’d say |

Just hard to ignore that Andy's never drafted an OT short arms. That's a long time. |

Andy Reid has far to long of a history suggesting what type of OT's he wants, trying to say it doesn't matter is a fools errand when there's decades of history.

I bet we do what we did last year and get a vet on a short term deal and maybe take a stab at guys with traits that suit us. Amegadjie or Foster.
