I don’t have a problem with drafting Savaiinaea at all. He definitely fills a position of need, he’s athletic as all get out, and he’s exactly the type of player needed on this o-line. Just don’t think it was necessary to trade up for him. Even if we did and someone else took him, Ersery at left tackle would have been available at pick 48 had we stayed and would have been a perfect schematic fit for us. It’s the trading up that I don’t like.
