He will get better, he will learn. We aren't finding someone better in this draft than him.
Jarrett was in every single mock I made that year (just like their LB Campbell this year). I saw him as what we all wanted Easley to become. Super binkie for sure. Mason was my favorite guard to watch, too. @manxman2601 and I were in lock step on Mason and Jarrett.
I haven't found any guys like that yet this year at DT, but I echo what @BaconGrundleCandy said regarding Lamp.
I'm watching the Super Bowl and thinking we're watching one of Manxman's binkies destroy the other. And, almost the Pats hopes. Hope your OK manx?
I loved Jarrett as you say. Would have been happy with him in the first. To this day, I don't understand why he fell to the 5th. As for Mason, just worth bearing in mind, and I think I'm right on this, since the bye week, I believe PFF had Mason/Cannon as the best RG/RT combo in the NFL. One game doesn't erase that.
And I still can't get over how much Cannon has improved his game. Remarkable underrated storyline for the season.
Ideally mason should be upgraded
That's a bit harsh. He was the top RG in the NFL for the second half of the season according to PFF.
yeah, it annoys me that people are trying to act like he is trash now.Look, he had a rough game, but mason was playing like a pro bowler in his second year.

My opinion of mason last year was that he was a future pro bowl og. However his pass protection skills have not improved. If he could get to just being decent, I could live with that, but if he already at the apex of his ability as a pass protector, we are in trouble, he will get Brady hurt!
The weird thing is that as a pulling OG he is a super mobile killer. Yet in pass protection he forgets to move his feet!
Then why did our running game suck the last 2+ months of the season? Gronk's injury? The lack of a young Power Back with explosive legs? Thuney hitting the rookie wall? Andrews lacking the size & power to effectively run-block? All of the above? Other?I loved Jarrett as you say. Would have been happy with him in the first.
