I heard a very successful NFL GM speaking to a group of "leaders" and he had a very simple stance on drafting linemen in the NFL.  He said that there just aren't many people that live to be in the trenches.  He talked about all the measurables that go in to selecting players, but he said a great deal of stock goes in to the mental aptitude of the player.  Tim Krumrie comes to mind.  Ced and Fisher look to me to be guys that would rather be in a wide-open system (no surprise, as that is what they both came from) where they are running around and hitting smaller guys in space.  

I hate to make blanket statements, but I would not be drafting offensive linemen from a lot of these offenses.  Give me a Wisconsin or Stanford linemen over just about any other.
