I believe they address center and defense (lb,cb, DL) first two picks. In no particular order. But I just don’t see them putting that much draft capital in two areas they really don’t seem to value that high
Ok, I agree with you to a certain extent, but I also look at this a little different.
I think Mike Brown is ok (and probably would encourage) spending the draft capital on this because there is no way in hell he's paying a top tier OG $13 million per year or a top tier C $8 million per year. This way, can get top tier prospects and pay them a fraction of what an experienced guy will get.
I actually think they draft 2 interior lineman in the first 2 days (rounds 1-3) as they have no starter at C and they really have no proven guy at RG either. Granted, we've seen flashes, but we've also seen how hard it is for Hopkins to stay healthy for a year.
