I don't know anything

.

But the tapes they showed when he got picked looked like his feet were basically slow. Shuffling.

[Big Little]

Hahaha

[The Duck]

No? Ok, I'm good with the pick.

He’s 24. A geezer by draft standards.

[HEREisAKERS]

You say that as if we don’t have evidence he wasn’t the #1 choice and we need to trust. No ones scared, just know it isn’t right. Sorry, forgot this was a franchise with multiple rings and a history of draft day success, I should chill.

[art vandelay]

Um they traded up for him and specifically leapfrogged Houston who needed an OT. How is that not evidence that he was the #1 choice?

You "know" a guy who has never played "just isn't right," yet you aren't scared? Okay.

[McCarthy12]

Oy. I want confirmation that this dude has never been a volunteer fireman. I'm afraid to check Wikipedia.

[ishimonster]

They might

They'd have to carry 5 OTs for Mailata to stick around. Not happening.

Big V could get traded too

[BigSlizz]

Trade Big V now?

I checked for you, holding my breath.....no mention of firefighting in his past

Exactly. Mailata is raw and cheap. They kept him all last season so they must have liked what they saw. Kelce also said mailata has improved even more. Still...Peter's goes down... Probably trust a rookie with years of playing football over a guy that just learned it a year ago.

[JDuggernaut]

Most everyone had him as the best pass blocker in the draft. Dude gave up one sack in over 700 dropbacks this year. Jason Peters was a tight end in college. Ended up looking pretty cool at offensive tackle after going undrafted.

You already had that disaster scenario covered with Vaitai. They weren't going to be in a position to have to throw Mailata to the wolves this year if he wasn't ready.

No a bad pick but a first round pick that is not going to play this year, also you have Milata and Pryor you were high on. With Sweat and Brown still on the board I think they should have went a different route with that pick, we will see what day 2 has in store.

[RSE]

He had the fastest shuttle time of any tackle at the combine.

[Greenstealth]

Meh. I read some reports that they tried to trade up with Miami for wilkins. Hopefully Dillard pans out
