and Lelito would not be the solution.
You don't know that. Lelito could be a great solution, they've watched him practice and develop for a year now, IF That's their plan and I say IF... it's their plan because they are comfortable with his development already. He's played 2 games for us this year and I think both games he was knicked up as well and toughed it out. Who the hell was BDLP 2nd year in his career? A nobody, that's who. When you are a team that is cap strapped, you need to make shite happen. YOu can't go out and spend 4 million on kicker and draft a center with 2nd or 3rd round picks. Those picks are too damn valuable at other positions needing replenishing.

Yep, and they've watched Charles Brown practice and develop, and he sure the hell wasn't the answer at LT.

And he's still a nobody after 6 seasons, but I'd rather spend the extra money to re-sign him (which he shouldn't command a hefty contract) than go into the season with Lelito as our starter.

I never suggested signing a kicker for $4 mil per year.

Center is a top 3 need at worst, IMO, after CB and maybe WR. I don't see why spending a 2nd or 3rd on one would be an issue. True there are other positions that need replenishing, but Center is one of our biggest needs. Getting one that can come in and start right away would be a great use of a 2nd/3rd round pick. 'd rather get the 2nd/3rd best Center in the draft in the 2nd or 3rd round, than get the 9th best CB, LB, S, WR or any other position (Johnny Patrick, Martez Wilson.)If we go into the season with Lelito as the starter, we're in trouble.

$2-3mil avg on a 5yr deal for a kicker. Get the position locked down! The thought of another Carney-Cundiff-Mare-Melhaff merry go round scares the hell out of me.
a #58 draft pick contract will be less than $4mil total for 4 yrs. That's pretty damn cheap for a likely upgrade with upside that you can have penciled in while Grubbs & Evans do their $20mil+ years. Ideally, this guy could then slide over to guard when Grubbs or Evans become expendable too.
