Any good? 

[Smithers]

PFF grade of 45, as poor.  No thanks. 

[Mr. Scot]

Interior utility type guy. They might believe he's worked his way up to a shot at starting or maybe he's just good depth (probably the latter). Likely a better prospect than Banner, at least.

Where he played his college ball is a plus. Nebraska loves big, road grading linemen.

Below average starter. But can play tackle and guard. Versatile backup/practice squad fodder. 

Won’t count against comp formula i believe because he’s not a top 32 ufa

I'm gonna need Juan to post a picture of him before I decide if this is good or not

He has starting experience and is only 26--

Here is my philosophy on free agency, and I am thinking of making my own brand of NFL fortune cookies, with my bits of wisdom tucked within the somewhat stale, lightly-sweetened clam shell of wisdom.

If you pay full price for a brand name star, he usually underperforms the contract.  Some of that is due to the new system and team chemistry/supporting cast.

If you pay discount prices for people entering their primes who possess the skill set the position in your system needs, you often find bargains.

This guy could compete at LG.  Not the only move.

You will be told by a stranger something that will change your mock draft today.

sounds good

I love bringing in this type of guy. Swing lineman with starting experience? Likely to add solid depth for cheap? About to hit his prime so still has room to improve? Yes please.

Think of how many OL we release that go on to have long careers with other teams--even pro bowl careers.  Evan Mathis, for example.  They mature later in life and play longer.  This guy has been improving each year---solid depth is the goal, but expect him to compete.
