The offensive tackle has emerged as one of the most important positions in the NFL. If you’re going to invest in a franchise quarterback you need insurance, and offensive tackles are the insurance. We’re sure you’re all aware of this now thanks to Sandra Bullock and “The Blind Side.”
Too many needs to address in the draft, you could bring in a sure fire NFL player via free agency and avoid the uncertainty the NFL draft brings. Teams know exactly what kind of player they’re getting, and how they can help him succeed. Feel free to hope one of these men sign with your team.
Free agency starts before the draft and begins March 12th.
