The draft exchange for Akers means little, shouldn’t effect draft maneuvering next year … which should be priority one for this franchise.
To me at least, feels like Gaskin was signed to address Nwangwu’s health / Chandler’s effectiveness (odd in Sept.) … while Akers is more a starting rotation guy (odd in Sept.).
Not likely but in a best case scenario, Risner sets off a nuclear fission chain reaction that slightly upgrades one G spot and mildly effects the C position. Thus creating a small tear or rupture in the defensive barrier that our legions of RBs can permeate through. (I think ‘penetrate’ too strong a word)
So you’re saying; we have to worry about risner’s G-spot?
We have to worry about both G spots and our C.
I'm glad we signed Risner ... as I said several times weeks ago, IMO it was a no brainer.
The law of averages almost prohibits him from being worse than Cleveland or Ingram (I'm not even sure where they're going to put him).
That being said, there's no guarantee if / when he's going to fit in. Not all FAs meet expectation.
I'm looking forward to seeing if / how much of a difference he makes.
He's guaranteed $2.25 million. If market value holds any weight, not expecting a whole lot but hope he pans out. Decent low risk move.
Akers is also a good low risk move. As one site said, the pick swap is the lowest you can get as far as value difference while still complying with NFL rules. Very low cap hit as well.
Simply a pair of moves that could pan out, no more, no less.
