[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 497896, member: 6211"] Yep, and the value we obtained by holding off on Lacy and Franklin has been widely lauded. Are you arguing that Tretter was widely perceived as a mid-round talent amongst NFL scouts? Suppose he was at the very top of our draft board and we selected him in the first round. Most fans would be furious- and rightfully so. Even if Tretter becomes a starting guard for us, that's terrible value, and I don't think using a forth rounder on him made great sense either. There's no reason to use a 4th round pick on what you can acquire with a 5th or 6th rounder. IMO, the difference between a developmental guy like Tretter and some of the other G prospects at that point in the draft wasn't so great as to warrant this kind of a reach. Granted, I'm just a Monday morning QB and our scouting department has put a great deal more time and thought into this. Maybe he becomes a quality starter in the next year or two. Nonetheless, I don't think there were other front offices circling this one, licking their chops, quite that early. And although he tested nicely, I don't see how Tretter presents exceptional value above replacement in terms of OL prospects. Please link to any such reports regarding Tretter with a friendly "told you so." I'm just of the opinion that Tretter would have probably been available for us in the fifth round or later and, if not, there was similar OL talent that could be taken at a later point. No way to definitely prove or disprove this. Either way, I Hope Tretter works out and I wish the best of luck to this young man. I'll stop harping on this. [/QUOTE]
