Everyone on these boards have done nothing but complain about this OL for many many years (rightfully so). If the opportunity to draft a RT at 28 and have them along with OBJr at LT for at least the next 4 years and we pass on that option....I would lose my mind.
We have no need for a TE in the first round....we have no need for a RB in the first round. Our focus should be to finally solidify this OL issue once and for all. I am even for moving up a few spots if one of the top 2 or 3 RTs are in range. Pull the trigger and get it done and fix our most glaring need over multiple seasons. Keep Joe upright with more than 2.5 seconds and the skill players will get their dues very easily and much more.
I understand Spazz, I think most are going off of what is likely to happen, plus we have been pretty bad at drafting OL as well.
Darnell Wright is who I want for RT, but he most likely won't be there at 28 from what we are seeing. We have met with all the top TE's
in this class which makes me think we are going to take one. This isn't my preference, it is what I see happening putting two and two
together. Would be all for trading up and selecting Darnell Wright or staying pat and selecting Anton Harrison.
DaWand Jones didn't weigh in at his Pro-Day so his weight might be a concern, don't like that in the first. Bergeron I like in the run
game, but he has some problems in pass pro etc. Have to take the BPA at a position of need. Corner, Tackle, TE, RB, 3-tech, Edge, I
don't care as long as we aren't reaching terribly, I am fine with it.
