Having already reversed ourselves after-the-fact so as to enable us to second-guess the wisdom in investing the 7th overall pick in an attempt to fill what has been a glaring need at Right Tackle, have we now concluded that it's a waste of time and effort to do so any further where Evan Neal is concerned?
On the other hand, in his 3 years at Alabama, where he was every bit an All-American, he did start 13 games at Left Guard, 12 at Right Tackle, and 15 at Left Tackle. That may speak to his versatility or, perhaps, it just left him confused. In any case, he may have some value somewhere. So, assuming he's fully recovered from his injury-shortened last season, why not give him another shot at the position for which he was drafted? That will still leave time to try him elsewhere on the Oline before they decide to cut him. N'est-ce pas? Hmm?
Cheers!
