They are giving Fisher another chance and he will compete with Hart at RT.  We have options at Guard, with Westerman and Redmond, but Center is beyond a huge need.  I am just thankful there are a couple solid choices.

If we are able to get McGinchley in the first I say get him and settle for less at the pivot.

But if he's gone I want Ragnow.

We need to reliably shore up the interior or the edges.   Those two players get it done.  For me Price is not a first round guy anymore.

Still like Price a lot though and he would do more than just keep us afloat. Dude is a great smart, physical run blocker that can
obliviate Defenders at times and is good in pass protection. Would be extremely happy with either.

Just want to express how happy I would be to eat my words.  Not at all what I'm hoping for, believe me.  Just what I'm expecting and what I have a weird gut feeling about.

If having the OLine derail the whole train for two straight years isn't enough to go all out to fix it, I don't know what would.  If it's me, the first two picks should be devoted to it.

I'm really hoping we don't do anything funky in this draft.

The team will have to go out of its way to screw up this draft, and bypassing a center and a tackle would be how they could do it. This year could be one the great ones for the Marvin Lewis era, or it could be an almost deal-breaker for at least a few fans.

A good example of this, Bodine and Robinson, both were great in college, put to work in the pros the first year, not so good.
