From the article

I'm not trusting a guy who has barely played in the NFL to protect Fernando Mendoza's blind side during Mendoza's rookie season. That's the future of the franchise, and keeping him healthy is more important than picking up draft capital that you can't use until the spring, anyway.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Mendoza's protection prioritized over draft capital; Miller stays.

Rookie QB and future of the franchise; Brock Bowers prioritizes keeping experienced left tackle Kolton Miller to protect Mendoza's blind side during his rookie season rather than trading Miller for draft capital. Brock Bowers is not comfortable trusting a player who has barely played in the NFL (like Charles Grant) to protect Mendoza during his rookie year, emphasizing that keeping Mendoza healthy is more important than picking up draft capital that cannot be used until the spring.
