Montrae Holland or Vince Manuwai, anyone?

[drpatriot]

Holland and Manuwai are two RFAs (Holland's a 4th, Manuwai's a 3rd) that play guard. Admittedly I don't know too much about either, but would one of the two be a good possible replacement for Neal? Would they be worth the compensation?

No takers?

If you don't know much about them how can we be expected to know?

Just found a Pasquarelli article that talks a little about them.

OG Vincent Manuwai, Jacksonville (compensation: third round): Has struggled at times, and seems to have fallen out of favor a bit with the Jaguars staff, but still a tough in-line blocker. At 312 pounds, can be a real load, and he has started 46 games in three seasons.

OG Montrae Holland, New Orleans (compensation: fourth round): Like Manuwai, is a tough drive blocker, and has started 30 games, including 23 contests the past two seasons. Has had past problems with his knees, and that will always be a concern, along with weight issues. But can play both guard spots and is a nasty mauler when he's on his game.

I have to think a G who wasn't in favor with their home teams gets a yellow flag. I'm also not sold that BB wants to use a 3rd or 4th round pick on guys described as drive blockers, Dante and BB use more mobile guys as a rule.

Thanks for digging up Lennie's remarks.
