6th and 7th round picks are hard to project. Odds are that there wouldnt have been an OLineman that would have been an upgrade for the immediate future. So, you go for abilities and potential.
Danny Mac said on the Score this morning that this is a power move by Lovie. Next to go will the the trainer, than maybe the head of college scouting. Basically, Lovie has taken over and is leaving Jerry with no power.
I have a feeling Martz was who Lovie wanted to hire from day one, but Angelo said no. They struck a deal. They would interview a bunch of OCs and if they couldnt find another option, Martz would be the man.
Brad biggs-
Ted Phillips will bat leadoff. Then Jerry Angelo will talk. Then Lovie Smith will bat 3rd in this presser.
