For all we now, no one wanted our pick. I like the risk we took by taking Gary, shows me Gute has balls. And for all we know, Gary can still turn out to be a baller.I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to giving up our third rounder, but it all kind of depends on how the board is at pick #24. And how are we so sure that these highly rated tackles will immediately be capable of performing better than a Veldheer would? I've seen plenty of high drafted OT's bust. I like this idea, and wouldn't mind rolling the dice here. The salary cap and the way the draft is structured will always force teams to take risks on way or another, and while Veldheer (or a mid round rookie) won't be a top 10 RT, they probably won't be one of the worst either. Tough choices are always to be made when building a roster. Our defense is finally only 1 or 2 pieces away of being elite. Add in one or two dynamic pass catchers and our O could be explosive. We need all the salary cap we can get, and not invest allmost all in a guy who has turned out to be good, but not durable. Plus it isn't Aaron's blindside. Time for Aaron to prove that he can release the ball more quickly.</blockquote>
