Another solid piece to the puzzle that is this teamChiefs confirm that Ryan Lilja has signed.

I have a hard time believing that. Mostly because the Colts are one of the top passing teams, but were 31st in ypc and dead last in rushing yards. It seems illogical to release a good run blocker when that is obviously not their strong point.
This is why in my opinion, I would have to think that Lilja is a good pass blocker because his size allows him to be a liitle more agile than most, but also prevents him from being a decent run blocker than can push large interior linemen back. Now this is all just the logic running through my head, I've never watched him play, so my assumptions could very well be wrong.
Seems like we still need a true left tackle. Not that Alberts bad, he just isn't suited for it.
I'm really hoping for Berry, many on here think he will get paid to much, there is not another player out there that would make a bigger and better immediate impact than Berry would. We have to give the money to someone, or trade spots.
Theres nothing that hurt us more last year than the big plays down the field.
Why do ppl believe that we wont draft a LT because of Lilja? The way I see it, we draft Okung or Bulaga with our first, that way our Oline will look like these:
LT- Okung/ Bulaga
LG- Waters
C - Wiegmann
RG - Lilja
RT - Albert
Water´s will retire after this seasson, he cant play forever. and then in 2011 if everything oes well you have:
LT- Okung - Bulaga
LG- Albert
C - Wiegmann (if hes still around)
RG - Lilja
RT -A mature and Better O'Callaghan

Hopefully we can trade down with someone, picking up a second or third.
I would love to see us go offensive line twice in the first three rounds, but Wiegmann might have been brought in to prevent that. Still, let's not forget how many vets have been brought in and let go. Casey Wiegmann could easily be this year's zac thomas.
LT- Okung - Bulaga
LG- Albert
C - Pouncey
RG - Lilja

OK since i've just gotten home from school and I've missed the past 49 posts of this thread, I'm just gonna ask. Who thinks this was a good move? I hadn't heard of the guy before sunday so I haven't made a decision yet.
