The post-draft optimism planet is at full function with that Suamataia vote. I’m in the camp of bringing Smith back. If Kingsley thrives and is ready, so be it. Better to be safe than sorry with the guys protecting your half-a-billion dollar man.

Why are we bringing Smith back? He was sliding to below average at best and was an outright liability down the stretch. Assuming a large part of that was the neck issues but that shit isn't going awaym

Perfect stopgap. Probably not expensive and willing to take a 1 year deal. Which also gives Kingsley the flexibility to win the starting job sooner vs later

Kingsley will get every opportunity to earn the starting job… but bringing back Donovan Smith at the right price for depth would be smart. |

I'm not saying what KC should do, but I would be very surprised if Andy's plan A is having a 'project' rookie learn on the job at LT. I would imagine he either thinks there is somebody else already on the roster that can be day 1 LT, or he plans on signing a vet. Now sure, if King absolutely crushes the competition at camp, Andy may be very reluctantly forced to go against his instinct and start him day 1. But barring that pleasant surprise, I'm expecting he has a different idea. Of course, in the NFL, plan A doesn't always happen. You can't force Smith to sign a team friendly one year deal for instance. |
