My main contention with this is I don’t want to use yet another 1st round pick on OL, especially an iOL. The OG/OT spot is more viable because good OTs rarely come from outside the 1st round (and paying an OT 1st round money is more palatable re: the cap), but great OGs and Cs are found all the time with cheap capital. We need to do that imo. As it stands we’ve spent more on our OL than pretty much any other team. That’s difficult to sustain, iOL is a great spot to play moneyball.
But I do like Barton. I have him well over JPJ. I just wouldn’t spend a 1st on either.
