I liked Martin when he was drafted given 4 years of experience in college and decent athleticism for playing inside, but he never put it together in any measurable way during his first 4 seasons in the NFL, being a disappointing starter and fringe/practice squader most recently.
Yeah - that's 100% fair. But he was a pretty versatile guy as injury insurance. If our OL weren't so sketchy to begin with, I wouldn't bat an eye at losing him. But...
I think we can come up with a veteran released over the summer that is better 1 year insurance than Martin.
Of course, if the team knows what it is doing in the draft it should be possible to use a #2 or #3 pick on a player who can contribute in Year 1 at guard, that's not too high a bar to shoot for.
I am not sure this is just about saving cap $$. Sure, that will be a result, but you can’t tie up a roster spot on a player who hasn’t been able to stay on the field 2 years in a row. They should be doing the same with Logan Thomas imho. Give someone else a chance with those roster spots.
We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
