left tackle.

Both owners have massive ego's, - but jones able to rein it in enough to win. Snyder, however, despite a ton of high draft choices, 'manages' to persistently/consistently do badly.

He’s 24 so this will take him through his high end performance years.

Jerruh’s problem is that he had Dak and Zeke on rookie contracts so he had cap money to spend on a full roster. With Cooper needing a contract too those days may well be over. See Seattle after Russell Wilson no longer was under a rookie contract.

and minds ... given this, I don't begrudge NFL players their dough, they put their lives on the line, literally, every game.

And if the players don't get it in paychecks, the billionaire owners just pocket it.

I say, good for Zeke.

Perfect timing w/my fantasy draft tonight as well
