You can't really call Little a bust this early into his career. He was a 2nd round pick (yes I know we traded up). If he even becomes a solid swing tackle, that isn't a bust and is decent value for a 2nd rounder (especially relative to Hurney's 2nd round pick history). Of course, that's no guarantee that he can even become that but I'd give him another year or two before labelling him a bust.

Swing tackle isn’t pick 37, heck call it’s pick 29/30. Pick 47 and 77 that we gave up are first round value. Swing tackle for that is absolutely a bust. A backup role for first round value is a bust even if it’s a 15 year backup. There’s no sugar coating that career backups and 6th rounders (from the same draft) are go tos over your guy you traded first round value to get.

If you're trading up to take a tackle in a weak tackle class that you graded as a first rounder, then he better be a grand slam. This is a Marty bust pick right up there with Armanti Edwards. Had a glaring need for a center and guard in high quality IOL filled draft and we whiff and miss yet again. Marty followed his gut and this is the result. 2 years later and we have Paradis the turnstile at C, Reed at G trying to find Waldo, and the 1st rd grade tackle that can't even muster average back to back games against decent competition. I wish someone could have seen this coming. Oh that's right. Almost the entire Huddle did.

@Waldo Has Reed located you yet?

Said it elsewhere, but I think seeing that it didn't take Matt Rhule the better part of a season to figure out that Greg Little wasn't getting it done is kind of encouraging to me.

Ron Rivera probably would have left him in there for the rest of the season and defended his performance.
