[Whatever]

Jonah has looked solid and he was the top prospect like Sewell. Actually Sewell is a better prospect than Jonah, who was the only prospect to really work out recently (and no I don't consider Bodine a hit).

People hated on Bodine because he was the 2nd weakest link on some terrible lines. He got blown up a lot. Regardless of what PFF says, him being out of the league at 27 years old speaks louder.

The last lineman we took near the top (Jonah) panned out, while the last WR we took in the top 10 was a massive flop. Looking at that and our recent history on mid round picks, they should be more afraid of waiting to take a lineman.

Jonah has looked solid.  He has not looked like a franchise cornerstone.  Sewell is graded higher, but only slightly.  Lance Zierlien for example graded Jonah 6.70 and has Sewell 6.73.  Both were Top 5 guys on most big boards.

You realize the average career length for a 4th round pick is only 5 years, right?  Bodine was certainly not a home run, but he wasn't a whiff by any stretch.  

The last OL they took in the 2nd round was an All Pro and better than any 1st round OL we've taken this century.  Based on that, I'd say they should wait until the 2nd round to address the OL.
