Who says Braden Smith is a 3rd round talent? I thought he was a mid second round talent and some people thought he was the third or second best guard in the draft. Opinions vary, and I saw plenty that ranged quite a bit. It was obvious all the teams saw the interior line players in this draft as very good players and some of the best in the draft. 3 of the first 5 picks in the second round were guards.

Seems if they traded Anderson for a 7th rounder, he was in danger of getting cut. If we cut him we get nothing. So the fact we got something I'm ok with. We got nothing for Hankins, who still hasn't been signed.

BPA/need whatever, as long as we get good players. There were so many needs on this team, every position was a need just about. Ballard said he wanted to improve the lines, which makes sense in a rebuild b/c usually lines take the longest to hit their peak.

C+ is fine, we will know in a couple years. I'm ok with the guards and LB, Turay and Lewis threw me a little but I think a lot of injured players drove Lewis up.
Problem with your take on Anderson is, he was arguably our best lineman. And he wasn’t a scheme issue. That is bs
