then he should bring in all the scraps he can since they're practically free anyway and hope to find a solid chunk of meat during camp.

TT's history seems to be that he knows what he's doing in the draft. What was his role, if any, in pro personnel in Seattle?

I am on board for the concept that it's better to get rid oif a veteran a year early rather than a year late, but I think TT went a little overboard with that last year. I mean, he let three pro bowlers go (two earned 'bowl honors after they left).

Doesn't he now have to learn the GM ropes just like anyone else? It's not magic, but is there any guarantee and/or track record that convinces anyone he'll be any good long-term? I think, other than his drafting prowess, that it's a total crap shoot.

Wahle was a pretty big mistake...I really wish we would have kept him. I consider him maybe the best zone gaurd in the league. We sure could use him right about now.

Why would you consider him the best at something he isn't used at?

He was referred to as the prototypical guard in terms of measureables for this system.
