Trade value is probably a high to mid second. If i had a choice years ago to bring in Hutchinson with a first I'd do it in a heartbeat. Problem is Mankins is definately a notch below.
I agree 100%, Hutchinson was an absolute beast in his prime with the amazing ability to move anybody in front of him. He is starting to break down now, but is still one of the best run blocking OGs in the league.
Mankins is probably just a notch below Hutchinson because Mankins does not generate quite as much movement as Hutchinson does.
But all that being said, it is no coincidence that our season took off last year when Mankins rejoined the team. He brings toughness and attitude and a whole lot of nastiness.
I would love to see us lock up Mankins for five years, but in order for that to happen,someone has to extend the olive branch. Short of that we could be in another holdout situation and when combined with Neal's retirement; we need to draft for this position.
